Gallard has exellent disk brake. who need a parachute? italian car + american ideas = lambo crash
Yeah thats what i thought, what’s the point of sticking a damn parachute on it? To make it look cool?
Or did they just run out of track and thought, lets combat this problem with a parachute.
You do not simply mash on the brakes to bring such an auto to a dead stop after rapidly accelerating from zero to over 200mph. The video is poor, shaky quality, but from what I can tell, it appears that the driver triggered the chute too soon, relying solely on the parachute to slow the car down. Whatever it was, something caused the car to become severely unstable. Utilisation of engine drag, brakes and parachute should be employed together, along with using the steering to keep the car on straight tracking.
What the current theory is right now is that there was a cross wind at the 1 mile mark on the track which took ahold of the parachute and caused this to happen. At two hundred miles an hour, even a 5mph cross wind can be devastating. However I agree with you that the brakes on this car could not have brought it to a halt on its lonesome; the trap speed on this run was a little under 240 miles an hour, far frin a stock gallardo
Something happens and I’m head over heels
I never find out, ’til I’m head over heels
Something happens and I’m head over heels
Ah don’t take my heart
Don’t break my heart
Don’t
Don’t
Don’t throw it away
He survived that?? I guess I’ll take their word on it.
What A Waste Of A Perfectly Good Gallardo
Never ever buy a Lambo! Italian supercars are the worst thing ever!

Somebody owes Audi’s engineers a big, fat, well, whatever they want…
I saw this car featured on speedhunters.com and I loved it! so much work was put into it! I’m pissed to see it be torn apart!
money goes to the wrong people
As previously shown here, properly constructed safety cage will protect the driver even against the forces that literally rip the car apart. Watch the Hamster crash in the jet car – he survived too, with just some brushes to his brain.
Bruises. Damn.
Just a bit of dust. That will buff out…
Speed is nothing without control …
Control is nothing without speed!
I hope the guy who took this video makes enough money to buy a tripod.
By the way, why is this called “Underground racing”?
It looks pretty much above the ground to me. Sometimes well above the ground.
Overground Racing! With a little of hover racing! WAY OVER THE LINE!
Somehow the idea of a turbo on an NA V-10 (wait… what’s in a Gallardo again?) sounds just plain old dumb. I’d love to ride in one (but certainly not this one)
ahem. all engines are naturally aspirated before turbochargers are applied to them. what are you getting at here, sir?
Bunch of f**kin morons if you ask me, underground or not. First of all, bit of a silly hobby. Second, waste of a fine car, heaps’o'money and lotsatime. Third of all, massive-lack-of-control. Finally, no support crew with anything useful anywhere near the finish line (the sucker probably had to wait a looooong time before his ‘friends’ finally walked in to help)…
did you notice the big orange missile at the finish line? maybe it wasn’t safe to park there. it’s a guess.
crash crew come stocked with fresh trousers.
looks pretty much to me that the s*****d americans put two parachutes on the lambo and only the right one opened… no crosswinds or something else…. you can see it on the video.
aww, i love turbos
The gallardo was actually going 236 mph. Its called the texas mile, you have one mile to see how fast you can hit. after the mile there isnt enough track to just put on the brakes from 236mph especially without having the disks and pads fly off. the parachute was deployed on time and a gust of crosswind came from the right pulling the rear end out.
and no there was only one parachute the driver was out there the next day racing his TT viper.
take that
