Owners of super sports cars or tuned cars, with a large number of horsepower, try to show their performance on race tracks. This can often be very dangerous, especially if you lose control over the steering, as the driver of the Nissan GT-R experienced.
At the recent GT-R Challenge held at Cootamundra Airport (Australia), Nissan GT-R driver Mick Mansour survived a rollover 11 times. He was competing in an acceleration race and during the race the wheels touched the grass which caused the tire to explode at a speed of 168 mph (270 km/h). The driver lost control over the car and the car rolled over. Luckily, Mansour was not seriously injured, and after the race he said that he couldn’t believe that he managed to survive and that he didn’t have any fractures.
The Nissan GT-R driven by Mansour develops 1,500 hp (1,103 kW), which is less than the standard 2,100 hp (1,544 kW) that other cars have. The Nissan was equipped with standard equipment for this type of racing, which includes a roll cage and seat belts and other safety equipment.
The car was not completely destroyed. Some parts survived the accident such as the engine, gearbox and differential.
