Brand new S8 crashed...
Looks like the car was driven on a race track at an Audi sponsored event and the driver lost control. All the airbags went off, car is a wreck.
Everyone in fine no one hurt in the crash. Scene is filmed by the driver one would have to assume by his comments. You can hear him comment on his experience on the video clip.<ul><li><a href="http://www.vsocial.com/video/?d=50215">http://www.vsocial.com/video/?d=50215</a</li></ul>

Someone get the VIN, please!
If it was Daytona it was probably either car 043 or 102.<ul><li><a href="http://webpages.charter.net/parkhill/RS4/RS4_VIN_List.htm">RS4 Registry</a></li></ul>

ehh....not good.
sadly, that's the kind of thing people should see before they embark on a seemingly 'safe' track day with the daily driver...anything can happen, and has happened.
the thing about these cars is that they are designed to protect the occupants, but the car is often essentially sacrificed in the process.

From what I'm told this happened with a pro driver driving the car full of Audi salesmen in it...
It proves that **** can happen to anyone no matter how good of a driver you are.

Now you may know the guy Alex, but it sounds like the guy is having a nervous reaction...
To the crash he was just involved in.
As a matter of fact he even syas that he is still shaking about it in the clip. I've seen people after accidents react in that way.
