It’s fashionable to joke about Mustangs crashing, however this particular person adopted the golden rule by taking it to the monitor as a substitute of racing on the road, so do not be too arduous on them. Mishaps can happen with any automotive, and by racing on the monitor. The solely casualty here’s a sixth-generation Mustang. The driver was okay, and no person else was concerned. We can respect that.

This unlucky outing occurred at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. We do not know precisely when, nevertheless it seems to be a test-and-tune evening with easy heads-up racing. The Mustang and its competitors – a C7 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 in accordance with the Wheels YouTube channel – roll to the beginning line with zero folks seen within the far bleachers. An absence of spectators is widespread throughout such occasions, or it could have been a personal monitor rental.

Neither automotive does a burnout, which can or will not be a contributing issue within the crash. Doing a smoky burnout with road tires can truly make traction worse, and there are different variables like monitor temperature and floor prep that each one issue into starting-line grip. We do not know what sort of tires this Mustang had on the again, however the wheels look completely different and people hides look fairly darned huge. That suggests one thing track-oriented, and that would undoubtedly result in traction points with out a burnout to warmth them up.

And there are traction points. Both automobiles present fairly a little bit of wheelspin off the road, however the Corvette pulls out to a fast lead. It’s arduous to inform if the Mustang driver ever has grip, however there is not any lacking the again finish stepping out to the left only a few seconds into the race. A fast correction is made, however the automotive spins within the different path and hits the wall arduous. After a number of moments we see the motive force exit the automotive.

We additionally see an Instagram tag for Mayos5.0 on the Mustang’s facet window. The account options a number of photographs that seem to indicate the automotive in query; we messaged the account with our condolences and to see if there’s extra info on precisely what went flawed. We will leap in with a response if we hear again, however for now, we’re blissful everybody walked away with out harm.
