WOW...The one guy didn't even have on his seatbelt!
A subwoofer should only be noticed once it has been turned off.

Seems like a 3rd of the cars were VW Beetle's fliping around.  I started to cringe when the Beetle convertible with 4 people started to lose control.

There's a recent video of a 911GT3 flipping on the same curve.

I wonder if this was at the end of a long straight and the vehicles involved all had their brakes fade into oblivion.
