Insane.

Thought "pft, how bad could it really be? I've seen some bad rejoins in iRacing"

H O L Y.

Talk about being both incredibly lucky and unlucky at the same time.

I frikkin love that Hyundai Excel racing class. So much fun. Thank god for the roll cage. That could’ve ended very differently.

These are those $13,990 Excels from 1997 right? They were flimsy when they were brand new 🙂..... The work those guys did on that car to make it as safe as it was in that incident is phenomenal.

I like that he had presence of mind to hit the kill switch....and even more so that the obligatory dash mat stayed in place (who wants a sun cracked dash!)

Yeah you can pick them up for $1000 now, good condition road going ones for $3000. They handle OK for a FWD and the power to weight ratio's not too bad. Great little nugget to get into racing, and shitbox rallying etc.

Absolutely. Not knocking their ability on track at all, looks like a whole heap of fun. Just the crash safety aspect which I had my doubts about which those guys where able to engineer out of it 😄

Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR.

They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead
