Default S2000 Widow Maker

Found this thread on another forum quite amusing.

Sorry didn't know you had to be a member to view.

As James says, there are a lot of people writing them off on their first drive, and slagging them off.

If you're interested in the Nurburgring it's worth signing up, also they have some good discounts on track days.

I'm pretty sure that's Jorge Lorenzo in the Avatar. It was taken at the Chinese MotoGP in the 2008 season. He landed on his head and was prevented from racing after it. Good air though

Most the times I’ve read about Widow Makers, bad handling, Dangerous car etc I can’t help but wonder if the driver has checked the geo, checked the tyre pressures, checked the shock absorbers.

It’s also, possibly, the first high power RWD car a lot of people get into and they think they can drive it like they drove their old FWD Eurobox.

Sometimes I think the driver needs to check his brain is in gear as I am sure some just assume that a sports car can accept large amounts of throttle while going round a bend.
