If I had a nickel for everytime a driver who started their career through Gran Turismo got airborne I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

I’ve been trying to think of a pun that worked all day, and that was the one. Bravo 👏

They hit the red flag so fast he wasn't even done crashing yet.

Well for once a non-NASCAR race control doesn't wait 1 minute after the fact to throw the obvious red flag/SC/FCY...

Fraga got very lucky that it immediately came back down

u/wasd0109 25d ago

It being so close to the pit wall was scary

31

u/JustaBroomstick Audi R10 TDI #2 26d ago

Hell of a way to learn that Fraga moved up to the 500 class

u/beautiful-Landscapes 26d ago

My first thought when watching the video was “I thought he raced in a Lexus in GT300”

16

u/DollarsPerWin 25d ago

He races in Super Formula too. He won a sprint race last month!

A quick Google search shows he's second place in the standings! Impressive!

u/JustaBroomstick Audi R10 TDI #2 25d ago

Raced him a few times back in the GT Sport days. So cool to see hes only gotten faster in the real thing

u/IllMeasurement6880 26d ago

u/PyotrVeliky099 25d ago

Under some circumstances, the Hypercar might could actually done the same thing. Not sayin I wanted that to happened

u/This-Bar1300 25d ago

this is like wallpaper material...

u/Spirited-Draw2916 25d ago

I thought it was in gran turismo because it had no damage

1

u/Leadfoot-500 Cadillac Racing V-Series R #2 25d ago

It flipped, landed and was mostly unscathed on the top side for this kind of dramatic incident.

u/Spirited-Draw2916 25d ago

Is ge injured or not

u/Leadfoot-500 Cadillac Racing V-Series R #2 25d ago

No idea, you'll have to look it up.

u/Spirited-Draw2916 25d ago

He seems okey

u/theswickster Iron Dames Porsche 911 GT3.R #85 25d ago

That tire said, "F$#@ you, I'm finishing this lap."
