Wow. 40 kms on the odo.
Lucky he didn't kill anyone.
I wish they restricted certain HP to people with special licenses.

Think it'll be totalled or repaired? Either way, major pnwage to the owner.

It's the first round of World Rally Championships: Bridgeport series - which team Subaru did ended up under the bridge. The Subaru team needs to get back into the game because there's a Mitsubishi dealer on Bridgeport and their 6 speed automatic Lancers are taking the lead.

it takes quite some speed to lose traction in a AWD, soft compound tires, and a dry sunny day.
mmm i have no pity for the person.

Wonder if ICBC will cover it.
Obviously, overspeed was the only possible cause of this accident unless another vehicle taped the STi and made it off track and loose control. I say it may consider reckless driving if no other vehicle involved..

haha, i test drove a wrx yesterday at the subaru dealership and the guy told me about this crash. its funny to see the pixs now. He said there wasn't another car involved. They just drove stupid and crashed.
and the guys who bought it were told repeatedly to take it easy for the first while to break in the engine...and even after that the car has so much power becareful.

usually, STi either crash in the first month of ownership or doesn't crash at all.

He probably drove a 4-banger before, and figured he had to stomp on the gas to get anywhere.
