So a red GT3 991 took a corner too fired up, flipped and got caught on fire today - driver is okay though. My brother who lives right in front of where it happened "ramlet el baida - Beirut" - took this photo:

Ouch!!- Sorry Bud. Glad to hear the Driver is okay. I figured these cars would be hard to flip unless while sliding you hit a curb or something

A video of the crash was shared on my what'sapp car group, when I saw it I remembered reading this post, the video is crazy to say the least.


Luckily the guy walked away without the scratch (no roll cage in car either) this is what @Shahan told me and even sent me a pic of the owner posing with his wrecked car smiling.


Drive safe guys and be careful! This guy was lucky for sure

Hi guys..

Unfortunately that happened yesterday. The road was closed by police and we had it for us only,m. The accident was dramatic, but the driver escaped without a scratch luckily.. The car is SAFE!


Gt3 costs 220k$, and RS 270k$, then u add ~6% registration fees (15-20k$)

WOW. That I can't believe. To be able to walk out of that wreck is somewhat a miracle. And I thought when Alonso walked out of his crash was pretty amazing in yesterdays Australian Grand prix.

Sh*t happens.. A mistake, distraction, can cost you a lot. It can happen to anyone.

We're glad he's okay..

This crash has Alonso's beat I think. Epic.
