to me it looks like the car doesnt have ABS and it seemed at the last second decided to turn left and get the brunt of the force the collision on the side of the car he was not on.
Probably combo of no abs (boutique car), and super heavy (electric)
Robert Scott
Is he okay?
Mother fucker just can't not crash can he?
Jackson Baker
Didn't slow down for the blind turn. He probably didn't study the map or overestimated the car's stopping power. Hamster has a long history of crashing cars in his car reviewing history, that episode when he brought a Hellcat instead of something elegant and sophisticated proves that point.
Anthony Murphy
Keeping the brakes locked during understeer doesn't help either. Rookie mistake.
Jonathan Reed
>is he ok? no hes not "ok" but he does have a fractured knee
Angel Moore
time for Hammond to visit Hoonigans and do a segment with the hand controlled drift car
Aiden Thomas
James May already did. Twice, I think.
James Morgan
noob camera guy.
Ryan Evans
abs are practically bolt on. why would they not bolt it on?
Zachary Bennett
the car should fucking have abs though?
it may be a concept car but you would think they would have made an abs system considering every car requires it by law anymore
i dunno maybe abs failure or shit driving
Christopher Cruz
Afaik its an electronically controlled torque vectoring system
My guess is it glitched and locked up the weels unintentionally causing hammond to fuck up
Angel Hill
So he's not coming on then?
Adrian Cox
You can still keep the brakes locked like that even with abs. It's a prototype so I doubt it's properly dialed. Drifting fancy cars all day and having driving skills are also completely different things.
Jaxon Ward
Okay that's a good one.
Logan Nelson
How does he live through all this shit?
David Ross
hes so tiny that the g-forces cant affect him as much
Oliver Roberts
>barely avoids decapitation in a jet drag racer >now this is hamster unkillable?
Levi Torres
the cockroach of drivers. put him in a Volvo or Hilux and he would be unstoppable
Elijah Robinson
Is this going to make Richard call it quits? I mean he already nearly died in the jet car crash then there was the bike crash he had in March that knocked him unconscious and now this. I mean he has a wife and three young kids, they are only going to put up with so much.
David Hall
...
Easton Morgan
I keked
Gavin King
the problem isn't the brakes or braking to begin with
he started to oversteer going into the right hand corner and that was it, it was already over at that point, traction was broken and there was no saving it
the sharp left hander, going too fast, and no traction just sealed the deal in the crash
ABS or no ABS, locking the brakes or not is totally irrelevant, he was going too fast and oversteered going into the right turn
how you people even consider ABS is the problem is beyond me
Easton Wright
ALSO
if it did not have ABS and the brakes were locked, how the hell did the front tires suddenly grip and snap the rear end around right before going off the cliff?
retards
Charles Adams
Carrying way too much speed into the corner...track not rubbered in, tires probably not at optimum temps...he pushed too hard, and this is what happens to every race car when pushed too hard in a corner... He just didn't have a wall to keep him contained...
Carter Davis
Whatever the cause was it's definitely because it's an electric car, and not because it was an amateur driver in a 1200hp monster with power delivery characteristics never seen before in any vehicle on an unprepped mountain road
Asher Bailey
>that episode when he brought a Hellcat instead of something elegant and sophisticated proves that point. All that proved is he's not some posh mary like James May
Mason Howard
Damn does this mean cummy is better than hammond?
Christopher Ortiz

Gabriel Lewis
F
Tyler Perez
doesnt looked like he braked at all. bet the car fukt up.
Austin Brooks
I think its just some guy with a phone. But yea he fucked up
Ian Russell
he didnt brake*
Matthew Diaz
this. dude has 9 lives or some shit, it's crazy.
Dylan Davis
I don't think that there's any car that can take that turn at that speed.
Robert Phillips
so I guess they won't be using this Rimac segment in the episode that it was meant to be in for the Grand Tour?
Noah Gutierrez
tesla owner pls go
James Foster
thats kind of my point. it looks like it pulled a honda. if you listen to it the car doesnt stop accelerating.
Zachary Adams
toyota I mean
Chase Cook
You'd know something about prepping, wouldn't you faggot?
Samuel Thomas
This is problably right. Hammond fucked up and it wasn't the cars fault. But at the same time what bullshit car looses the back end on such a slight corner while going up hill? Btw I'm OP and I wanted to ask if he should have just flown straight forward off the cliff or if it was a smart idea to turn left at that last second
Noah Wright
SPEED UP HAMMONDS RECOVERY
1 LIKE =-==================== 1 PRAYER
Michael Johnson
He let off the brakes and the tires gained traction
Ethan Phillips
Eat a dick mother fucker
Henry Jenkins
hope this crash was at the end of the segment so they still have a lot of shots before fucking hamster destroyed it. I live very close to Rimac factory and was waiting for 2 years for it to come to the show, and now this happens. RIP in pieces Rimac
Jason Martinez
Im sure the car weighting 1950 kilogramms has nothing to do with it
Christian Peterson
i like how it instantly bursts into flames.
Caleb Reed
>drives cars for a living >have driven everything between reliant robins and formula 1 cars >amateur driver I know tripfags are supposed to have shit opinions, but now you're just overdoing it.
Brandon Carter
Manlets can't drive, whats new?
Chase Barnes
he is going way too fast into that corner
Brody Jackson
He went into the first corner too hot, so when he tried to steer onto the second corner, the weight transfer was too much and he lost it.
Bentley Stewart
He tried to bust a dagumi but couldn't deal.
Kayden Gomez
get hydrated god hand
Luis Miller
> >what bullshit car looses the back end on such a slight corner while going up hill? It's a electric, it has 1600 Nm torque
Jose Flores
To get that look, the batteries are behind the driver, so that's your problem right there. Electric supercars shouldn't be so low, long and try to look so mid engined. Otherwise, they will be even deadlier deathtraps than the sub-thousand-made mid-engined petrol supercar.
Dominic Perez
tl/dr the car is retarded and it was made by assholes
Andrew Cooper
Being an actual oldfag who drove before cars got ABS, I will tell you what it was really like when you smashed the brake pedal:
All wheels lock up with ungodly noise and yo screech in the same fuckin direction you were trying to avoid going whilst simultaneously wearing a big flat spot on all 4 fuckin tyres.
ABS is the best fuckin invention after power steering.
Fuckin noobs. You're the equivalent of a faggot in a fedora.
> pic fuckin related
Andrew Robinson
he went in too fast, no need to analyze shit.
Isaiah Walker
Get hydrated, God hand
Mason Bailey
It looked like he as trying to drift it and gave it too much power and over corrected.
Cooper Sanchez
kek, underrated post.
Carter Lewis
>i wanted to see Veeky Forumss best guess as to why
Because he's a cunt.
>/thread
Nathaniel Howard
This user is 100 percent correct if you think its anything other than this you actually might just be a retard not even a fucking full on rally car built hand built by i dont fucking care who subaru boxer fuck i spun a bearing land wouldnt be able to handle a corner going that fast
Dominic Reed
There no problem at all with the brakes, he was going too fast. The car has torque vectoring so altough it appears to have lost traction when he turned left. It was just the car rotating itself through torque vectoring. Actually the car was amazing, always pointing to the apex/corner exit. He was too fast for the left hook.
Fucking shame about the car. Those Rimacs are really fine machines Ugly as fuck though, specially the no window rear.
Matthew Smith
What's there to study? He went into the corner way too fast and on an impossible line. ABS or not, you're not stopping two tons of car fast enough to not go off the track in this situation.
What's more interesting to me is that yet another electric vehicle goes up in flames after a crash.
Jack Morgan
Lithium fires are a hell of a thing
Jayden Robinson
>Instant torque of a batshit insane electric engine >No engine braking
Isaiah Hall
Of course, but you'd think they develop safe batteries that don't explode every time you drive over a speedbump too fast before they call battery cars the future of mobility and push the Tesla meme down everyone's throat.
Eli Young
Op here. Here's Hammond in the hospital saying he cocked up youtu.be/PdrTn15JYgc
Oliver Ross
He tried to do an inertia drift but failed.
Dylan Thomas
NANI?
Jonathan Jenkins
it looks like a mix of things >1. He started to brake to late, maybe before this corner brakes were gold or he just fucked up, dunno >2. There is definitely a tire screech, before he turned hard left. Some vectoring fuck up. >3. There was no/zero/nada/zilch/0 grip. Look at that, he jumped like a rock. I know he countered just before the corner, but jesus fuck, that was like old widowmaker. Just a huge pendulum throwing the back of the car over. Dunno if this is the battery weight, plastic tires, no downforce (like in old koenigseggs) or mix of all
Ryan Reyes
>but you'd think they develop safe batteries
They'd rather develop technology stopping you from driving fast.
Kevin Long
Honestly there are worse places to crash and end up in hospital in than Switzerland.
Mason Baker
>tfw I outrun Teslas in my 86 on the German Autobahn any day because they can't drive faster than 120mph for more than 5 seconds without overheating and going into limp mode
Cameron Fisher
Yeah this fact alone is nuts
Also from the video he was going to fast and understeered into the corner.
Oliver Mitchell
I don't think he needs to call it quits, necessarily, but he may want to consider not driving rocket cars and concept super cars and shit. Amazon can afford to hire others to do that for filming purposes.
Daniel Campbell
My car of the last 9 years has no ABS, I've tracked it, hooned it, etc. and it's not that bad, just let off when it starts locking.
John Clark

Isaiah Wright
YEA LIKE AMERICA He would have had to pay a bajillion dollars for a hospital bed yuk yuk yuk :) and the ambulance would have rusted out chassis and drop him yuk yuk yuk doesn't America suck yuk yuk yuk :)

This, then put him on the streets of london.

You guys have no idea.
In the gentle right hand just before that tight left hand the ass was out already and it came back around just in time to slide over the drop in the other direction
Evan Gray

Logan Russell
How is that related to the accuracy of the claim that "every car requires it by law"?
Nicholas Green
Because that claim is made during a discussion of THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT not a discussion of automotive law in every country in the fucking world
Ryan Long
>I move the goalposts to wherever I need to them to be The current state of Veeky Forums, ladies and gentlemen.
Nicholas Howard
You didn't read this fucking thread you fucking moron, nobody here is talking about your special snowflake shithole where ABS is not required, ALL discussion was about THIS CAR and THIS CRASH.
