What´s your greatest crash/slide/spin ever ?

In thaiti road my crashes kinda suck: usually I perform the quickest brake in gt2... head dive against the pit wall in the last corner trying to do it full throtlle
Some hard crashes in the seattle jumps, grand valley where the two tracks take different paths (high speed crashes are the best ones) spin-outs here and there but the **** really hits the fan in one of my favourite tracks. I´ve seen trial mountain in reverse mode many times but crashes, real crashes are at the finish line - before and after. Before: hit the wall in two weells; spinned in the air even saw a friend of mine hitting the bridgestone ad once.
After: endless spins with endless cars in the second corner comming totally out of control from the first one. Craziest case was with an escudo. I´m not a fan of the car nor I drive it very often but once I´ve managed (don´t really know how) to drift all the way from the end of the first turn - counter turn section to the tunnel entrance where I eventually crashed against the wall, all the way in the grass all the way pointing to the inside of the turn.
Beautiful drift... shame it wasn´t on the concret:lol:
 
i once smashed the wall at the Test COurse in a Weigert Vector W8 at 240+mph and spun around in the neighborhood of 30 times without my brakes on.
 
Seattle is usually where I have the most interesting losses of control and crashes. It's very easy to lose it in many cars in that jump section. If you try to turn the wheels just a little there, you're usually pretty much screwed.
 
Definitly - either you enter right or you crash. Stiff suspensions and lower cars are also synonim of crash in those jumps.
 
Red Rock, in my Elise, lost it in the high speed bank, spun at least 30 times as I slid down the bank. Another one was at Trial Mountain, 2 player race, my budy turned to soon at the hard right at the bottom of the hill where you have to brake hard. He was sort of stuck stalled and I nailed him. My car jumped streight up, level,all 4 wheels off the ground. Pretty neat views in replay of it.
 
one time i got bumped while exiting the first tunnel in trial mountain in a saleen, i ended up doing a reverse 180 as a result. i don't remember how much of that was by me.
 
SS Rt. 5. Taking the straigh at after the walled chicane at full throttle, and hitting the wall head on. I was half asleep. That woke me up fast.
 
i once went at the first turn in laguna seca (the hairpin ) at about 200mph and went through the wall. well i thought it was cool
 
Someone has to find bugs in the game sooner or later, the question is how did you crash the wall at 200mph? Were you possibly imagining yourself as Tom Cruise saying the "the accelerator´s stuck Harry I can´t slow down"?
 
no, i was just seeing how fast i could go there, i was going to leave the course at that gate, but i had went all the way around the track and i thought it would be fun not to stop. but it wasn't even though it was enteristing
 
I crashed the Escudo on SSR5. I went head on to this corner of a road that was closed, found on the left side before the last "ss'es" before the last right turn (it's not the beginning of the wall before the last right turn). I came onto that corner at incredible speed. If you watch the replay, it was a very hard hit. If only the car and crumple and pieve could break apart.

What's also very cool to see is when you're in a braking zone and one side of your tires hit's the grass while braking from high-speed and it totally messes you up on positioning yourself for the turn. That has happen to me a handful of times. Really cool to watch the replys also.

Another would be getting out of Laguna Seca Raceway and going to the corkscrew and being thrown so very high and landing. I've got a reply of that with my WRX STi Ver. VI.
 
The striaght before the hairpin on SS Rt. 5. If you stay to close to the right wall too soon you will slam into some protrusion that's vary hard to see.
