What a waste! Is that the limited production car at $150,000 ?

Exactly what the car was built for! :) They'll fix it and it will be racing again soon, no doubt.

That particularly corner at this year's Monaco rally caught a bunch of cars out visible in this related vid:

It even caught out the AWD premier class WRC cars, so a R-GT Cup car doesn't stand much chance. I don't think anyone expected that much sheer ice in the braking zone...

Cheers,
