Evo crash on road course

Filmed my first crash after attending 10+ HPDE's and 30+ auto-crosses. poor evo.
I was filming, not driving. Please read the video description on youtube for more information.

Video created by someone closer to the driver, using some of the same footage, but explaining what happened.

Wow.. that really sucks!! Hope everyone was ok?? He might have saved it if he hadn't turned back into the slide on the dirt.

More of a, "it was bound to happen eventually" type of thing.

Saw the video poor EVO Im wondering if the water the mustang put onto the track had anything to do with helping the evo wreck.

But again great job BoostedFilms I always enjoy your videos

that guy had no chance....he was going way too fast to save that once he started turning in...should have not turned in at all, stayed straight, and hoped for the best

going too fast + taking the same line in the turn-in in a 90* turn as a 30* turn = not gonna have a good time

I think the accident could have been worse. Him clipping the apex prob saved him. If had missed it- he prob would have hit the exit corner parallel (to the grass and potentially rolled). glad he's ok.

if ya'll read the description in the video, it says the evo's brakes failed. lights came on but not stop.
also that's not his regular line, since its stated he's been around it earlier

Jordan @ MAP said he tuned the car on a Black two days prior, he thought it had stock brake pads, which more than likely means stock fluid.
