Very lucky with the damage. Thats the problem, the R8 is an extremely fast car and the guy makes a basic mistake. The Viper dabbed the brakes early before to take off some speed then backs off, the R8 driver is still hard on the gas then.. SHIT!! My mate just did a driving day and said the R8 was easier to drive fast than the Gallardo. But you cant just get in a car like that and expect it to get you out of trouble if you drive like an idiot!

This is an extremely heavy, bespoke, aluminium car. Like you say, it needs a lot of skill to drive it, best learned in small, handy cheaper sports cars.
