Ferrari loses control in the rain

Last month on my cross country drive I stopped for a few days in Denver to visit some of my friends that live there. They love to drive just as much as I do so we decided to take both of their F430 coupes out for a spirited drive. One of my friends had new tires arriving 2 days after our drive was planned because he had been driving the car so much the tires were bald. We were struggling to keep up with our friend in the other 430 because the wet roads made it almost impossible to keep traction. The video doesn't show how fast we are actually going but keep an eye out during the video and you'll see we are going at a pretty quick pace!
Thankfully we narrowly missed so many objects like the guardrail, telephone pole, and oncoming traffic which was scaring me because I thought we were going to slide into the oncoming lanes!
More videos to come of the car drifting, doing donuts, and having fun shredding the tires ;)

Enjoy!

The tires were bald, it was raining, and there were constant elevation changes and turns. You really pushed your luck.

[@LurkMe]

Hank Hill Yup, rain and bald tires was how I totaled my car last year

[@march11stoneytony]

***** Me too, almost! Went hydroplaning into a chicane with a 20 ft drop to the side! Wheels snagged at the last minute!

[@74JO52AO1]

***** anyone got hurt?

[@LurkMe]

henrique lopes Thankfully not... Slid into grass for about 60 yards and lightly smacked a tree, but enough to total my car. Me and my passenger were unscathed. Scary day.

It's like that with everything. I've never seen so many professional lawyers, doctors, engineers, scientists, political analysts, etc congregate in one spot. Nearly every video. They're all over the place.

[@arthurpewtey]

I'm not. But I drove Porsches for 6-7 years (accident-free) and once did an advanced driving course precisely to avoid situations like the one in this video. The guy driving the Ferrari is a bloody idiot. There are plenty of idiots out there, and you don't need to be a professional driver to spot one. Not even if you're one yourself, to be honest.....

That takes a lot of balls to drive at such high speed on those road conditions with such bald tires. Either that, or stupidity.

when the car spun out he was doing like 40 mph in a high gear low rpm....

[@derbigpr500]

Say "thank you Mr. ESP for not letting the car spin completely".

[@MoparMilan]

Amen

[@casualguy393]

+derbigpr500 The car is slipping around practically from the beginning, yet the driver keeps trying to push his luck. Yep, he needs ESP.

[@derbigpr500]

No, it wouldn't. Learn how the ESP work. Aggressively trying to counter is the last thing ESP would do. Tip: don't talk about thing you know nothing about. You can clearly see the manettino is on the 11-12 o'clock position, which is a sport setting most likely, or maybe a race setting, both of which keep the ESP turned on but only activate it when you really lose control, and it lets the car slide a bit. It's not a standard ESP setting that cuts in at the slightest trace of wheels slipping.

[@Nycholas1998]

you can hear it clicking away when he starts sliding. IM sure it would have been worse without. probably a full 360

[@dangerous1portal]

A good driver would have kept the car in higher gears, especially in the corner, for smoother power delivery to prevent the loss of traction. By going down too many gears in the corner, the engine braking functioned like a handbrake. An experience driver would have instinctually spun the steering wheel left as soon as he lost traction, that slide could have easily been saved.

[@bcon_8874]

a good driver would take it to the track

[@enrique-bz7cy]

The mistake was that he downshifted, but tbh in these conditions on public roads he handled it best. If he turned the wheel left he would have run the risk of overcorrecting, catching some snap-oversteer, and sliding right into the oncoming traffic.

[@CamiloOsorio2]

This is because hi is not a good driver.... he is not a race driver, he is just him feeling like boss. poor. Its most cheap to pay in a racing track that the hospital because of racing y public roads.

[@enrique-bz7cy]

Kmi OsorioP Yeah it's his fault he got in the situation, but he handled it properly. If he'd bothered to correct it the car may have hooked up and turned the other way, into oncoming traffic.

[@dangerous1portal]

+enrique3402 sorry to say but you are wrong, he had too much momentum on a slippery surface to abruptly change direction. He should have tried to steer the other way and correct the cars alignment, i have raced since i was 12 including motocross which is 100% racing on slippery surfaces.

[@Trades46]

Bald tires & high-powered MR machines don't mix well... Your friend was VERY LUCKY that the F430 didn't decide to continue to slide towards the pole sideways. I'd buy a lottery ticket afterwards.

[@bomberman0r]

He changed gear during the corner, and the car started hydroplaning not much he could do after that, but it was his mistake from the start. Do not cross your hands like that when steering the wheel, if the tyres found traction with hand crossed like that, you would end up in the opposite traffic lane. You were lucky anyway you didn't total it.

[@BorisBauerMusic]

Got money for Ferrari,but no money for new tires. seems legit to me :)

[@skylerleal5220]

That's what I'm sayin to etc!

[@mattiaa95]

I was about to say the same thing

[@VenicanHD]

Performance tires usually aren't the best at dissipating water and are usually more slippery in the rain. Fucking idiots.

[@legionz5025]

What? Summer tires are good in rain if not better than all seasons

[@1IdeaAhead]

4:17

[@djcampure]

thx bro

[@Exodus227]

Also another problem was the F430 started hydro-planing, that's when a layer of water builds up between the tires and road surface eventually getting thicker and thicker causing the car to have 0% grip. After this happens the car will keep sliding and will only stop if it either hits an obstruction or goes off road, the driver cannot do anything...

[@KidThatDoesEverythin]

I think most people watching this video know what hydroplaning is...

[@simontist]

Well, he could have let off the brakes...

[@CodyRushDriving]

that was actually pretty well saved. most people would waaaay overreact and make it much worse.

[@swiftypopty1102]

Panik

[@jafarmurtaja1482]

i mean he could have turned slightly rather then keep the wheels straight. the ABS and traction control was clearly working keeping the car straight as if it was turned off he would have totally spun off. Props to all the systems we have on cars now

[@diversified170]

this is when someone from japan buys a ferrari and still mounts a HD monitor inside it

[@ryandowd5415]

This is why you do donuts AFTER you race, not before.

[@carrie6711]

And why is that?

[@ryandowd5415]

Adrian Bugajski So you will have tread.

[@carrie6711]

Ryan Dowd the amount of tire they actually took off with those wet burnouts is almost none so I don't think this was caused by the burnouts

[@KlauseusT]

....You do know by doing donuts on any vehicle means .. burning, scraping off the Tire tread leaving no traction to the Real world driving. especially in rain you need the tire tread to grip the road and slip away the amount of tread lines you got, it's different for Racing, Drag racing.

[@KlauseusT]

But the ferrari probably been doing so many donuts and left him with Little bit of treads or non at all and that's probably the reason why he lost control ..

[@ImranQureshi-mf2gc]

4:20 is when the crash happened.

[@authenticmax6350]

I was about to write " you should've got out and checked if you broke the radiator tank..." then I thought... its a ferrari... and I don't know whether the radiator is behind, on the trunk, on the roof, inside the dashboard or under the passenger side seat...

Some People forget that tires can make a world of difference, obviously. That's a performance upgrade that should be done as with anything else. All the horsepower or cornering capability in the world doesn't matter if you buy your tires at Wal-Mart.

[@kencur9690]

This was good. I like how it gradually built the tension, though the pacing is a little bit questionable. The plot advances very slowly, which is uncommon, to say the least, for this genre. The cinematography, as other reviewers pointed out, is superb: I especially appreciate the found footage style, though it must be said that it is an expedient which tends to be overused. Nevertheless, it is used masterfully in this case. It adds to the suspense, which, again, is brilliantly conveyed. Unfortunately however, in the end it lacks gore, which is definitely something the audience usually seeks, and the climax is a bit of a disappointment. All in all, a good, solid first attempt, with great cinematography and thrilling stunts, ultimately let down by questionable pacing and a disappointing ending. Final verdict: 3.5 moons out of 5. 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

[@dennyh66]

😂 cracked me up

[@Andrew4181975]

I know this road. It is just outside of Denver. I learned my lesson about driving on bald tires and hydroplaning a long time ago.

[@nilzr1]

[@Speedracer38]

nilzr1 no! not even a scratch :)

[@DavidisDawei]

you were lucky that day. the guardrail ended just before your wipeout

[@CdH94]

Guys, the driver wasn't a bad driver at all. He had no trouble kicking the tail out and keeping the car in control many times earlier in the video. The accident happened when the car began to hydro-plane. No amount of Traction control, counter-steering, and throttle control could have saved it. Why? No front or rear grip. This wasn't driver error really. Stop being bench racers.

[@Pogost1ck]

Well... almost. The driver could have known with the little remaining tread, standing water combined with his speed there was a risk of hydroplaning. Still, as soon as it happened there was nothing he could do.

[@jeremymullin3986]

[@dragoonuvl]

I think the issue is a combination of lift off over-steer and the engine dropping down into a lower gear which gave the rear wheels more torque than needed. I'm wondering if he could of saved it by mashing the accelerator for a short burst of power to get the rear end all the way around and perform a 360 and continue on in a slower gear. Either way he's lucky the car hit the grass scuff marks and scratches are better than a replacement door.

[@polipochilegge]

the funniest thing is that it didnt even slide when he was going fast but when it was decelerating, so lesson learned: dont decelerate

[@thumpertorque_]

Yep, don't lift off the throttle when turning. Either lift off on the straights or be gentle when lifting off.

[@steamyhotpoo]

That's called liftoff oversteer and it happens more often than you'd think.
