• The accident occurred during an event at a race track in Costa Rica.
  • The driver of the 911 GT3 failed the launch and suffered a lot of wheelspin.
  • Fortunately, the Mustang driving next to the Porsche was not involved in the crash.

In a drag race between a Porsche 911 GT3 and a Ford Mustang, the result is clear. The Porsche should smoke the Ford, partly thanks to its powerful launch control. Meanwhile, the driver of the Mustang is most likely to send it into a wall or a crowd of people. However, this is not what happened when a GT3 and a Mustang recently raced each other in Costa Rica.

This wasn’t a polished drag strip, but the back straight of a local circuit, apparently part of a larger event that attracted all kinds of cars and motorcycles for some casual on-track showdowns. Unfortunately for the Porsche driver, it appears they skipped the “How to start your car” section of the owner’s manual.

Watch: Mustang and SUV collide on the highway and all hell breaks loose

If the white 911 Next to the bright red Mustang, the unmistakable soundtrack of the car’s high-revving 3.8-liter naturally aspirated six-cylinder sits in the stands. A moment later it goes away. Strangely, the sound of the car bouncing off the rev limiter makes it seem like the launch control was engaged, but it left the line at a snail’s pace, perhaps because the system wasn’t on or the driver didn’t know what to do. were doing.

Whatever the case, the car spins its rear wheels up and soon begins to slide. The driver appears to have corrected too much and eventually crashes into a concrete barrier on the side of the track. The force of the impact not only shocks the event visitors, but also destroys the front of the Porsche, leaving it with extensive damage that will be very expensive to repair.

Fortunately for everyone involved, the Porsche did not immediately end up in it the Mustangnor did anyone notice a photographer perched precariously on his knees in the nearby grass.
