Woah, so is that coming out of his pay check? lol
Poor guy, but it looked like he way overshot that turn. Must have done a few too many laps in the F1 car right before jumping in this one!

I don't know if he's going to have a paycheck anymore...at least in F1.
Things are a little different when you don't have downforce I guess. Maybe he should've listened to his passenger when he said "No way."

Pizzonia is not yet an F1 superstar. I'd love to see him race a Williams though as they seemed to like him as their tester.

Man wow, at least from what it looks like in the video, he totally blew that corner. It's not like he went in there a little too hot either. There is no way in hell he was getting around the turn at that speed... Must've been helluva brain fart...
No helmets either.

Interesting how AP just rode the entire thing out - and the look on his face when the dust settled was priceless. There was in-car footage of a rally car in Aus or NZ a couple years ago, pitching down an embankment into the trees: When they came to rest, the codriver's quote was, "So...here we are." Same look.

Re: How Not to Drive at Your Next Track Day (jeremyEG)
dunno about you guys, but I'm amazed at how well that Jag took the impact to the roof. Looks like it hardly caved in at all and that was a hard hit to the top.
for Jag making a car that's actually roll-over safe
for driving it like it's not yours
That reporter probably had to go home and change his shorts after that ride
p.s. How did he end up with a roll of Duct Tape in his hand LOL . . .

Re: How Not to Drive at Your Next Track Day (Jetydosa)
stupid, he wasn't even close to making that corner... I mean, damn! better to just brake in a straight line, and use the sand trap to slow down on that one.
