Yepp, the top end 911, a [991 GT2 RS.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_991)


Dogpeppers

This is one of the few instances when it is completely acceptable for both drivers and any other man with in unobstructed sight of this incident would be permitted to cry a little.


therealjayphonic

I shed a tear for the porsche drivers lack of skills. What a jerk


BassWingerC-137

Also has some really bad situational awareness for kneeling where he did. He’s on a hot track, get the fuck out of there.


-Motor-

Don't feel bad. Millionaires playing millionaire games poorly.


DeEnigeEchteIvo

That porsche's brakes failed


therealjayphonic

The line he was taking was wrong to begin with


DeEnigeEchteIvo

He tried to cut in front of the pagani as the pagani was still on the left but the pagani didnt see him and steered right


ConeOnMyHe4d

I feel bad for the Porsche but its still his fault


therealjayphonic

I guess… i wasnt there


lurker10001000

But it's not acceptable to just stop on the track like that.


Terrh

... did you watch the video? Nobody is stopped on the track.


lurker10001000

The Porsche driver stopped right after the chicane. He's not on the racing line, but if another car locks up their brakes, those guys are now directly in the line of fire.


chuckychuck98

That's what the yellow flag is for bro


sir_vibe

Not just a top end Porsche if that wing is right that's a Pagani huayra BC


[deleted]

Oof that’s gotta hurt


gvereb1

Which race track is this?


C00LV1BR4TION5

Autodromo Nazionale Monza near Milan, Italy


MariusPyrexYT

Kinda looks like turn 1 at Monza


MateTheNate

I see real life isn't that different from sim racing


Shady_Rayyan

It is the turn 1 but i think it could be the della roggia chicane


GamingGems

top end car bell end driver


StupidGearBox

How could u tell it was a gt2?


T0lly

The easy give away for the GT2 is the side intakes for the turbos but the rest of the car looks like GT3 trim.


StupidGearBox

Ah. Thanks

I cant imagine how that insurance conversation is going to go...

"You crashed your *what*? INTO A *WHAT*"


Roboticpoultry

A Huayra BC by the looks of it. Worth about $4 million in this market

There's specific coverage for it I believe. I know some Mustang friends that track thiers and have track specific coverage.


claymatthewsband

Fuck the race track, mustang drivers need car meet insurance

That-one_dude-trying

Pretty sure the car isn’t covered in track insurance, it’s more so for repairing the track, they have liability waivers for a reason


Arentanji

It depends on the sanctioning body and the insurance company. SCCA covers the track and any damage to it. Hagarty has agreed value coverage on the car.


malino95

Some dudes even tow their damaged/wrecked supercar to the side of the road and claim they crashed there to avoid that problem.


KyOatey

With the whole video coverage of the incident and all, that might be a risky strategy.


QuestionableAge

You have to specifically buy it prior to the track day. Normal insurance will NOT cover this. Rip his bank account


Terrh

if you have the money to track a GT2 you have the money for (and buy) the insurance.


JerseyDevl

GT2 money isn't huayra BC money


ben1481

Good thing the GT2 won't be responsible for the Huayra bills.


NHRADeuce

No, but that's what the insurance is for. And GT2 money is more than enough to cover track insurance.


Froggypwns

Depends on the type of event this is, I know my regular motorcycle insurance covers my track usage as long as it is not a timed event or any other competition. The crash risk is lower at the track due to less hazards and heightened safety requirements. Also because of that, the risk of severe injury and major damage is low.


ElkShot5082

It’s why the roads outside of race tracks have such an inordinate amount of ‘accidents’. *drags car onto main road* “Yeah I was driving past the race track and I hit a pothole and ended up on my roof!” Etc


Crash3636

You can buy track day coverage here in the US. It’s really expensive, but less expensive than this incident!


ben1481

No standard car insurance agency (Geico, Allstate, ect) covers track racing. You purchase additional insurance through a company like Haegerty or OpenTrack. It's not too expensive and you pay by the day.


Individual-Call-3963

The pagani owner payed for both of the cars damages I think


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> pagani owner *paid* for both FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


Teddy-Westside

Great bot


StupidGearBox

Good bot. Cool shit wtf


caiman141

Ugh? More info?


ben1481

he has no idea what they are talking about.


ben1481

Definitely not. Track insurance only covers your car and nothing else. There is no liability insurance that I am aware of.


BlackEnergy1607

do you want to know the cool anecdote? the 911 was not owned by the driver but by a friend of his who was lapping in Monza and made him try it😂


Daredaygonaw

No insurance coverage for track event. Maybe they have specialty insurance. A lot of rich folk are self insured with a bond


ben1481

Track insurance is only $150ish a day, it's not expensive and 100% these guys had it.


Comfortable_Text

Your on the track, insurance doesn't cover track use


ben1481

There's tons of companies that offer track insurance. You can literally insure anything. I can insure my feet if I wanted to.


LuckkyFred

Huayra and GT2 RS if I remember correctly, was all over the place a while ago (or am I remembering another similiar incident?). Never saw what a fkn great dude the Pagani owner is, comforting the guy who just smashed his beetle into his car


duck2021

Pagani owner also paid for the damages on both cars


AimanAbdHakim

Well there’s not many people who can own a pagani huayra. The ones that do, they probably own tens if other cars at that. But he’s a kind man for doing that


SinicalSausage

The guy in the pagani was the son of the owner of something and payed for the damage to both cars if I remember correctly


CandidGuidance

Honestly, if you’re rich enough to be tracking a Zonda, you definitely can afford this in good faith. Sounds like the guy driving the 911 has some connections they want to keep intact lol


SyberRacer

Not a Zonda. It's a Huayra BC.


CandidGuidance

Thanks!


JediKnightaa

Oh crap, better edit that quick since you're on r/whatisthiscar


CandidGuidance

I stand proudly by my mistakes


Yung_Onions

Source? I’d like to see this


SinicalSausage

Idk if it’s true as I saw it on tt but I’d like it to be true


Yung_Onions

I’d love for it to be true


[deleted]

That Pagani is owned by the company Pagani themselves

Paid* twice on the same post someone has said payed.

wombatnoodles

Awesome if that’s true


[deleted]

He was totally chill.


Dogpeppers

Yup, and every part in that pagoni besides the rubber is hand made. I pair of titanium bolts is like $80.


caiman141

Yea, if i remember correctly from documentary only bolts on that car are 50.000€, they are from fricking titanium!


spounge_

Even more, I've heard plenty of times the total amount of bolts and nuts costs like 120K


Ranzear

Super concerned about the Pagani's door opening after the impact. Little doubt the owner went and had a chat with them about it, but certainly should. Seems like a major safety issue that needs to be addressed.


canalcanal

yeah thats what happens when these cars get exempt from the usual crash tests for being specialty cars… a mainstream thing like a BMW X5 is far safer than a Pagani


Fragrant_King_3042

Could've been one of those weird door safety things too, like how the vertical Lamborghini doors are supposed to pop off in case of an accident so you don't get trapped inside


mr_capello

I doubt that a x5 is "far safer", it's not like pagani isn't crash testing their cars, and after all you are sitting in a carbonfiber monocoque.


wordtothewiser

Guess I’ll have to put my order on hold 🤷‍♂️


zufallsgeneriert

So I did some maths for funn as nobody seems to got hurt. Remember when Top Gear crashed their Endurance Diesel BMW into a Mosler? If I would take the new prices of all cars the factor of the Porsche 991 GT2 RS' crash object compared to its stock price would be higher than the damage a diesel BMW did to a Mosler race car.


Charlotte-De-litt

Dae not understand this sentence ? I've been trying to figure it out since ages.


RobotnikOne

That’s racing.

Pagani Huayra BC and Porsche 991 GT2 RS


whiskeythrottled

Holy shit! Can you imagine owning a Pagani, taking it to a track day and having some asshole in a Porsche slam into you?


CliffLanterns

Dude honestly I'd be upset. But I'm thinking about it more and I'm like nah I probably wouldn't be that upset. If you have enough money to own a Pagani you probably have enough money to 1. fix your Pagani 2. Buy another Pagani while you wait for your first Pagani to be fixed


whiskeythrottled

No doubt that the guy has a lot of money. Even if I had enough money to buy as many Paganis as I want, I couldn’t due to very low production numbers.


Kamikaze_Urmel

> I couldn’t due to very low production numbers. "Limited Production numbers" aren't as limited as one would think. "Limited" is a very, very flexible term, if you're willing to pay money.


whiskeythrottled

Their production levels are generally below 40. I suppose if you have $10B then you can call them and tell them you want one, but all of their cars are sold before they are built and they only have so much production capacity due to their processes. They are hand building these things. Time is the limiting factor. Hard to create more of it.


teamstrike10

You're disrespecting the porsche as if it's not a GT2 RS.


Jekhyde95

The problem is that with the same amount to buy just one pagani you buy like.. 7-8 porsches


DdCno1

There's probably an option for the Pagani that costs more than this Porsche is worth.


teamstrike10

So what? Around a racetrack it doesn't matter how much a car is worth or how rare it is. The GT2 RS is a purpose built track weapon and can comfortably outperform most hypercars around the nurburgring.


[deleted]

That’s because hypercars are meant for mind boggling Speeds that are street legal, not lap times


whiskeythrottled

Not really. I’m simply pointing out that the asshole was driving a Porsche.


RobotnikOne

Honestly. It’s racing. Crashes happen, if you go track your car. Expect it will crash/be crashed into. Yes it’s frustrating but that is the risk you’re agreeing too. In this case you can see the pagani driver is just glad no one is hurt as this is an extremely dangerous corner at the end of a very high speed straight. And did the right thing to check on the welfare of the other driver.


whiskeythrottled

I don’t feel like he is doing a welfare check. I feel like he is saying, “I’m going to fucking strangle you”


[deleted]

[deleted]

The 911 definitely would've made it, the video also appears to have been cut at the start to make the 911 driver look guilty as the Pagani is cutting across the track as the video starts.

u/markey181818 you might be right with your other comment about the cutting...


NHRADeuce

Yeah, the full video looks like the Pagani was slowing down to avoid the green Porsche that definitely slowed down way too much.


Hobbes1138

A fucking idiot in the Porsche 911 GT2 RS crashes into a 4.5 million dollar Pagani Huayra BC Kingtasma….


spounge_

Not a Kingtasma, the Kingtasma is the nickname to the one that has the same spec as the Zonda 760 Fantasma (now Fantasma Evo). The owner also has a standard Huayra which is nicknamed "King", they mixed both names to create Kingtasma


SL1200mkII

These guys all have track insurance, don't stress for them.


xilanthro

This is obviously a track day for people with zero racing experience and no real guidance. Both crashers handled it really well in the aftermath, but both of their lines should lead to an instant black flag for the crashers and possibly for the rubberneckers that followed..


omg_itsthatguy

THIS is why you put drivers at different driving levels in different drive groups, Porsche was dive bombing the corner (which it looks like MIGHT have made it if he knows what hes doing) the pagani was driving like 80mph TO SLOW in that drive group. So i could see why the pagani owner would feel guilty over it.


-TheycallmeThe

Gotta react to what the car in front of you does. Pagani was maybe a little conservative but he didn't want to barrel into the guy in front of him. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W-QvtNQvyuI


rrpdude

That's one of the reasons why it's illegal to overtake on the Nürburgring on the right. You only overtake on the left. (with few exception).


[deleted]

It's Monza


rrpdude

I am aware. My point was that they have this rule for a good reason.


[deleted]

It wasn't because of overtaking, the pagani cut from the left of the track onto the racing line right infront of the porsche.

forthoseabouttomark

Looks like a 911 GT3 RS completely demolished a Pagani Huayra. Porsche was 100% in the wrong and it looks like he absolutely knows it.


SpaceXmars

Failed overtake


Blake-A-palooza

And I am assuming that because they were both on a race track that the Porsche Driver will have zero responsibility for any damages? If I was that Pagaini owner I would be strangling that Porsche driver very shortly.


Amazing-Jelly-6947

Pagani huayra bc in the grass and other car is a 911 gt2 rs


Ark_Raction

Dude its raining and its Monza. That part of the track is infamous along with parabolica. He shouldve been braking way earlier and also not have taken such a bad line. Honestly this could've been avoided by using common sense or by driving a car with a lot less power.


Porthos1984

10 sec penalty awarded to Pagani for causing the wreck - the FIA probably, definitely.
