the guy who owned it is the producer of the movie "Redline" where he donated over US$10 million of exotic cars for the movie (several of which have been totalled)... and the driver is Eddie Griffin who played Undercover Brother and plays Infamous in "Redline". the producer wasnt too cut up about it...

apparently this car crash was staged to create hype for redline.
saw a page that had quite a lot of points as to why it was staged, i will try and list a few that i can remember

the barrier is on the middle of the track, why would it be there?
the car was owned by the producer, lucky coincidence?
the camera man standing behind the barrier, not only is he in the right spot, he also doesnt flinch.

all seems a bit suss

also the driver seemed kind of stoked when talking to the cameras after. not exactly the way most people would act if they had just pranged a x/400 car

well he is a comedian and as i said before the producer donated a whole heap of his cars ($10 million worth) for the movie and for that testing day. but it is possible its a publicity stunt, and if it was it worked very well!!!

great theory but what about...
-barrier was put in place to protect the camera man as it was the best spot of the camera.
-why not use the producers car when it is what they need?!
-camera would be on a stand, those things aren't held by the guy. he may have jumped a mile and the thing wouldn't move.
-comedians are always stoked!

Why would they do a stunt on a such car like this???

These people are total w*nkers. What the hell they thinking???

Should do it on a replica rather than on a real thing!!
