"Seems to hear some crack there, but the car shows strength, so does the driver."

"Holy save."
Adam Christo says:
"Holy S&!¥ sooooo close. Lucky escape, not many people have a touch with the wall here and drive off."
Sam.spots.supercars says:
"Lucky escape the last time I saw a crash happen at this corner was at the Ferrari silverstone event, one of the mid 2000’s F1 cars came around the corner to slow, no downforce and then punched it and drove straight into that wall. The car was that badly damaged it was sent to Italy straight away with damage of around 4.5 million pounds."

The clip has over 1,5 million views and many commented that the woman's squeals and questions caught their attention.
She constantly asks the driver if the car is safe if it's insured and upfront tells him she doesn't like rollercoasters. Well, she sure does go for a massive ride and squeals nervously every time the driver touches the throttle.
