Mine will do that. Its an option that can be turned off in the car's settings. Might only be part of some option package.
i just know that car protected me very well and i was amazed at all the tech that started happening without me doing a thing. would be really handy if you were out of commission

I've run a circle track before in an actual race car, and there is no way I'm doing that in a street car.

Just before the crash, did we hear ‘white flag’? Only one lap left and he loses it...

Wondering what settings the nannies were set, or not set, to?

I saw another video from the same track and you can hear the announcer saying the price for wining the race is $100.00 LOL.

You can see him throw his helmet off into the passenger side of the car before he gets out.
In driver's school you are taught not to remove any safety equipment until you are in a safe area. You are still on track with cars driving by.

2017 GT350 now gone to a great home.
A good time was had by all. Probably best spectator race of the night.

Technically that's words
True. So while my words are free flowing out, I'll so just say I'm not sure what I just saw. Buds, Rush in the backround, spectators race where they get to play like Earnhardt... LMAO.

You thinking the star of the video went to driver’s school :surprised:

So he wrecked his car, legally racing, on a race track with the gear of a typical HPD event. As a licensed road racer, race clinic instructor, and race director I have zero personal issues with his informed choice to do so. The safety factor is far higher than almost any other demonstration of sustained speed short of regulated racing.

Sucks for him, never race anything you can't afford to throw into the dumpster!

^^ That's a fair point, it's a step up from street racing ... but that's about it.
