Sacha Bottemanne's massive shunt with the Ferrari 458 GT3 during the GT Tour race at Nogaro (Coupe de Paques) Make sure to join the forum for more at tbk-light.com/p...
+cybasheep He wanted to pvertake, he didnt bump that guy on purpose. Everybody who drives in that race knows how dangerous crashes are and they would never try to push you off the road.
Im not sure that you're right. Is loons like he did bump into the other car on purpose. Did he think he was in a videogame and everyone you overtake will disappear?
When I see accidents like these, that look so severe yet the driver simply walks away with minor injuries, I am left astonished by the safety of race cars. Hope he's okay.
+generacionmarttin Bottemanne is not a gentleman driver, for example on this lap he was 8 seconds faster than Mouez on the second Ferrari. I saw him drive last year on Porsche Strategic at Magny-Cours, it's one of the best drivers in GT Tour. Remember McNish on Beltoise at Le Mans 2011? So, with your point of view McNish was a gentleman driver?
+Guillaume Jolard I don't know this dude so well, but as far as I can read on Internet, he IS a gentleman driver. Being fast, driving a Porsche or participate on GT Tour doesn't mean anything. Actually, GT Tour is a series where almost everyone is a gentleman driver.
+generacionmarttin Bottemanne is a young driver, with a silver categorisation in FIA List. He's fast on track, and probably upgrade to gold status next year. And whatever his job is professionnal driver so it's not a gentleman driver. In GT Tour, there is one pro driver (gold or silver) and two pilots with bronze or silver.

I was like... WTF is he doing when he was driving. And I was like WTF is he doing after he crashed. The only moment I was not like WTF was when he actually crashed because it was a simple result of simply crappy driving.
All these people who think they know how race cars behave because they play PS4 are out in force, but it doesn't look like he tried to bump the other car, he just made a mistake under braking.
Ça me coûte en sponsor 2 millions de $...et pas trop crash..et quand .je voit.lui se.crascher.tout seul comme un grand...je me dit..ouin...lui..il a du cash en reserve...shit...
His head was nearly out of the driver's side window. If he had caught the wall at a slightly different angle, this would be a snuff film. Hopefully he'll think of that the next time he's trying to strong-arm another driver like a 10-year-old Forza player.
oh man....ce crash! mais wtf ?!? sur ce tampon tu vois la nécessite d'avoir un filet de protection pour les chocs latéral, très impressionnant il a du prendre un sacré paquet de G là...
+Bazuzeus: Avant de parler il faudrait au moins un peu s'informer, déja sur les circonstances du crash, et sur le parcours du pilote (qui en l'occurence est rapide et très sympathique) avant de critiquer et faire sa morale de chieur. abcmoteur.fr/sport-auto/gt-tour-un-crash-qui-defraie-la-chronique/
+Guillaume Jolard excuse moi mais il y pas l'ombre d'un problème mécanique, entre les articles bidons bref et les experts du web 3.0, je constate un croisement de trajectoire et c'est tout. Sacha avait cas être prudent lors de son dépassement faut pas oublier que se sont des gentleman. Vous ne verrez jamais ça chez un PRO et je fini par une phrase signé; F.Alonso "A lot to learn ! "
His own fault for the initial bump for sure but the Ferrari veered to the right very sharply immediately afterwards...looks like the bump caused a suspension or steering failure to me. I've already visited the Paul Armagnac circuit myself as a spectator and they improved it-notably the pitlane iirc-but OMG they should at least add tires on these bare walls... Extremely lucky to walk away from that.
That's what I kinda suspect as well; unless the guy is just an idiot hothead trying to bump people for no apparent reason, it seems like something with suspension or steering snapped. Also, the fact that after the bump, he deflects off back left, but then the car continues to press hard back to the right.
Look closely: right-rear suspension failure caused the car to turn head-on into the wall. Great engineering of the chassis and safety systems allows this driver to walk away
+hilarious182 Évidemment, tout ceci est à prendre à la légère. Fort heureusement qu'il s'en est sorti indemne, bien que j'ai pas compris la manœuvre qu'il a tenté...
Be kind to him, if you listen to the commentator, he says that his mother watches the race with these same commentators, imagine the state in which she was to be
The amount of ignorant comments saying it's his own fault is ridiculous. Wouldn't be surprised if the both drivers in the video are teammates. When you're driving that fast, the slightest bump and a slight miscalculation of drafting can easily over throw the drivers steering.
