Thats why stupid people with no regard or respect or experience get in to trouble ,
He clearly came in too fast and on the wrong line , tried to correct and the ass end got light and around it came.
if it wasn't for the tire barriers he would of been in worse shape.
thank god he walked a way.
That must say something about toyotas ,If that was an fbody it would of disentegrated(sp) .

Also, mid engined car is always trickier on the limit. But he was lucky.

Trickier - to what degree? The MR2 has a 45-55 weight distribution - I can't wait to put mine on the AutoX next year and see how I can do in it compared to my (previously stock suspension) Camaro - all I know currently is that it's d@mn hard to get it to slide through corners ... I've been taking curves in Hersfeld with a good 10mph faster than I did with the Beemer, where the Beemer would start sliding, and can't get the MR to slide ... well, with one exception, that's a curve right before I get home, about a 300 degree angle (or a bit more), uphill, putting too much power to the wheels will at least spin them easily ...

Oh yes... the infamous Schwedenkreuz... 
Garry, I guess you're not as stupid as the driver of the crashed car on the video, right? So there's no reason for you not to "try" the N'ring...

@Roy: Ouch!
@Ben: Probably right, but I spun out in Hockenheim, it happens quickly ... plus, you never know who'll run into you ...
