Watch A Shelby Mustang GT500's Drag Race Go Horribly Wrong

Shortly after leaving the line at a drag racing event, this GT500 driver loses the back end and goes flying into the other lane, forcing his Ford Focus-driving opponent onto the grass in an attempt to get the hell out of the way

I know I’m gonna get hate for this but it’s obviously the cars fault. Every single mustang crash video they spun out at the same time. Just as they shift into semiconductor and have no traction

Not exclusively. This particular crash happened due to driver’s over-eagerness, track conditions and the car’s setup.

  1. The driver flatshifted, you can see the car get a jolt as the driver clutched and another huge jolt followed by wheelspin as he de-clutched in second gear. He unsettled the ballance twice in less than half a second, that was a mistake. These conditions would require a shift along with releasing the gas pedal to allow for a smoother rev match.
    Also slides of such a small angle of departure should be corrected with accelerator pedal first, as in “letting go off the gas”, the driver tried to catch it at full throttle with the wheel (again, eager to save it and finish the run)

  2. The track is seriously badly kept, nobody bothered to clean it up before racing there, you can see pieces of gravel on the track, means the track could’ve been collecting dust and gravel on it’s surface for a long time, making it slippery.

  3. The car is not known for being the easiest to handle, we all know that.
