He's all good and safe not a single scratch.. GT3's are bullet proof!
An unfortunate mistake by a skilled driver.. We lost a GT3 in Lebanon but thank God we didnt lose our dear friend!

Nice! That crash was epic. Looks like he scaled the wall. Amazing that he wasn't hurt.

It looks like he came in too hot,hit the brakes too late,tried to turn,went into oversteer,hit the curb,which sent him over and flipped. You can tell he hit the curb not only in this video,but in the pic from the other thread...the rim is mangled from hitting the curb.

Glad he's ok!

I wonder why everyone is filming and taking pictures across the street instead of helping him...

It appears that he got out right away.

It was a parade day in Beirut, launch of an expected Grand Prix that is planned for 2017... So all supercars were invited for a stroll, which turned out to this..

Unfortunate but thank God it's all metal and rubber!

I understand what it was... My point is,how come nobody was all over the car trying to get him out... I can only assume he was out already,which is amazing considering it only took 20-30 seconds for the guy with the camera to reach the accident scene!

It's easy for you to say it, but unfortunately we dont have tracks in Beirut...
Accidents happen and surely the video shows it's a serious mistake. I pray it doesn't happen to you or anyone else for the matter, even on a track..

Yes i get you.. He got out immediately without being hurt. By the time everyone arrived, he'd already gotten out! The video shows others screaming 'dont take pictures, dont take videos..' but no one listened..

These Porsches seem to be like iron-man suites!

I wonder why you're quoting me on this...? I was merely observing what I think went wrong... I did not comment anything about his skills as a driver...

Incredible. Did the car hit the back wall, as it appears that two big sections got taken out? Epic crash. Big mistake. And most of us have made big mistakes, although that was HUGE.
