yeah airbags totally suck, I thought most tracks required you to disable them though?

Being a previous victim of (numerous ) bad situations, thankfully I didn't hit anything THAT bad, but when it first happens it is like you are in a dream. I really didn't think at all when it happened, just dazed out. Immediatly afterwards I was wondering WTF just occured, and I wasn't sure I had really done it until I saw the damage.That seems to be understeer induced by excessive speed due to brake failure. The passenger seemed like he had been through similar situations before.

I've seen several vids of brake failure on tracks, and they all look like that. understeer is what causes the accident, but the cars understeer because they can't take their speed down.I don't really see you calling them out as liars, but whatever.
