Close call in a Ferrari F430
When the weather is not good, supercar owners usually leave their toys in covered, warm garages, because on wet roads it's difficult and dangerous to push a fast RWD supercar. The american photographer Speedracer38 had a blast in a Ferrari F430 in the slippery roads of Denver, and while chasing his friend in another F430, suddendly the car slides and almost crashes into a pole and the guardrail. It looks like the manettino setup on the car was set on Race that makes the traction and stability control less invasive, there is a reason why manettino has also Rain mode..

A new record at Nürburgring
The power of lightness. Light cars with a good amount of power are little rockets on wheels that can compete with the most expensive and fast supercars, thanks to the favorable power/weight ratio, a few examples are the Ariel Atom and the Lotus Exige. There's a new car in the market that has set a remarkable lap time around Nürburgring, point of reference for the automotive factories from all around the world. The little Formula Ford, moved with a tiny turbocharged 3cyl engine with 205hp has set a very fast lap time of 7 minutes and 22 seconds, making it alot faster than supercars (and even hypercars!) such as the Ferrari Enzo, Nissan GT-R or the Porsche 997 GT2 RS.

How NOT to drive away from a parking
In Russia most cars have a black box camera car, it guarantees a good price on insurance in exchange of a continue filming when the car is moving. However, this sort of " Big Brother " on public streets gives us the opportunity to see on YouTube many videos taken in Russia about crashes and reckless driving. The following video shows us a blonde woman with a (huge) lack of ability of coming out from a parking spot.

FXX and MC12 Corsa on the road!
It's very hard to spot on public streets the Ferrari Enzo and the Maserati MC12, just imagine to spot their hardcore (just for track use) versions, the FXX and MC12 Corsa. It's basicly impossible, since they're not street legal, but for the Chelsea Autolegends 2012 auto show, two of them have been showed up with a temporary plate. The very unique scene has been caught on camera by London spotter Munch997.

Lexus LFA drive
The Lexus LFA is a clear example that shows how a V10 should sound. Just 500 these have been produced so it's not easy to see one. The following video shows from multiple angles the glorious high-pitch sound of the 4.8L V10 engine, and with 560hp pushed on public streets you'll find that it's not hard to get pulled over!

599 GTO in action
There are many automotive rallies, the most famous might be the Gumball 3000, but there's always something in common between these events, and it's the show off for the crowd with noisy supercars. This Ferrari 599 GTO wrapped in a very bright green has been filmed while burning some rubber and revving during rally " The Challenge 2012 ". Too bad this guy almost hit a few photographers while performing a launch and drives like a crazy, forgetting that he's in the city centre of a huge city like Paris.

Reckless driving in a BMW M3
Just outside Monaco you find very beautiful roads where you can enjoy the landscapes and (traffic allowing) the joy of driving. The following video shows an aggressive driving in those streets with a BMW M3 E92, it's not a racetrack but public streets and the driver even attempts a couple of drifting and high speed overtaking, not really a safe driving style that should be used on public streets, expecially if you're not the only one driving there.
