Ariel Atom 2 crash in Sweden onboardcam.

[SteelCityDucati]

The importance of an anti-lock braking system..

[NASAvsPETE1]

That girl sitting with him must think he's a complete loser, almost killed her, he needs driving lessons.

[benbay001]

I like ABS.

[rustler08]

Perhaps he needs to drive the car and realize its limits before trying to race it.

[TheOriginalxOG]

Shit driver

[VUZOOKA]

hehe "Ariel är väl ett tvättmedel", that is Swedish for "Ariel is a detergent, isn't it?" ah yes, the joys of living in Sweden... :D

[cocooreo100]

thats one reason i don't want an atom

[4Absolut]

Oh my God only 3 curves and he is K.O . Better driving buses :)

[MuchAliveWhenDead]

Oh and the thumbs up at the end was to show he was okay x x

[MuchAliveWhenDead]

@ephenj

He put his thumbs up to show he was ready to go and, he can't suck at driving because you have to prove you can drive really well and I think you have to have a particular racing licence to buy one because there really dangerous if it's in the wrong hands, trust me, I know this because my dad has one! x x

[ephenj]

Why was he giving thumbs up like he thought he could drive away???

[TransAmDrifter]

typical master of straights.... and ABS addict :D

[midgetking101]

and thats why i like anti lock brakes.

[Roadrash1991]

wow if he would of let off the brake he would of made it last second..

[assaultrifleguy]

Combination of cold tires panic and target fixation

[MuchAliveWhenDead]

That wasn't his fault...the atoms breaking is normally a lot better than that... I would no, my dad has one and I went in it just yesterday! SO DON'T BLAME THAT POOR GUY...!!!

[ephenj]

@MuchAliveWhenDead he obviously sucks and was trying to show off to the biddy that was riding with him. Brakes are brakes and if you lock a tire up has nothing to do with them being better or worse, it was completely operator error.

[ninan85]

What's with the thumps up? It's not okay you moron :-D

[kimchijeegeah2]

He didn't get very far =O

[dl7und]

1:08, 1:14, 1:17 Thumbs up if you think this was a successful crash...

[kripstak1098]

an idea: warmin up the tyres before push hard?

[Speedyflow]

The Ariel Atom don't have an ABS !

[biejest1]

funny how he tries to drive off pretending nothing happened

[kyuubinaruto1025]

Was it a good ride for u lol

[FerrilEwok]

We now have for example stigs mentally challenged cousin 

[RauL8604]

Thumbs up! Thumbs up! Knee slap! Fuckin' jackass!

[dee18f]

Ha ha he lasted long...

[aminevich]

wow, great safety gear: shorts...cause you don't want to be too hot when you crash. Also, excellent launch: cause removing excess rubber reduces weight. Finally, great lock up: cause when you're on the breaks, you're saving gas that will allow you to drive longer...sheesh!

[kal12345]

well, he was gonna crash anyway. Too fast entering the corner, braking or not he is gonna meet the wall

[478chris478]

a few more thumbs up aint gonna fix ur fucked up wheel

[bugio22]

I like how he thought he could just drive away... lolno

[musicwatchquattro]

I dont understand why hes giving a thumbs up. He just destroyed a beautiful car.

[Eritu]

@musicwatchquattro Its hand signals to the track side observation crew... thumbs up means "im ok ...i broke some shit here as you can see but i myself am ok"

[wolfe1970]

1 problem, cold tires dont grip !!

[phant0]

@wolfe1970

Locked wheels don't steer

[StikManJones]

@phant0 we figured it didnt have ABS.

[Narutofan1000k]

junk

[Quikintheair]

The funny part is his passenger hanging onto his nuts !

[TheArnie88]

@Quikintheair LMAOO So true

[avsnrangers88]

that fuckin pussy need to be shot for bein so fuckin stupid. that one of my favorite cars and that pussy crashes one after a 1/4 mile no fuckin way kill that pussy

[OTKSenior]

stick to riding moose

[Blackrier93]

did he really think that the car will turn when the tires are locked?

[BLOOD4UNTER]

he thought he was The Stig

[Psychopathis]

why did this happen? In PGR i crash all the time with thw atom and im still good to go...

[MetaRidley77]

YESZ!!

[NesakisiuBl]

ABS? - NO!

[paullubliner]

You are supposed to "WALK THE COURSE" first!

[MrThingy3]

Did he not have the tires warm? Or would that have made a difference?

[andrei131313]

what an idiot I totally agree, he is used to ABS...and after that slight left turn he lost a little bit of the grip on the left rear wheel(by the way you can feel that in thist car) and he still thought that accelerating a little bit more is a good idea, and then breaking hard to lose even more grip after the car was going a little bit sideways(left)... MisterPeetBull is right, such cars should not be given to people who are not used to a propper racing vehicles, every move should be calculated

[RustingMetalMusic]

OMG ITS THE STIG!

[fixitnate]

*Flag* *THUMBS UP* *Flag up* *whaaAAAN-WHAAAAAAAANn-n-n-n, whaaaAAAAN* *screeeeeeeee* *BIFF* *THUMBS UP* *denial that car is destroyed* *back up* *realization that car is destroyed* *THUMBS UP* *pat leg* *THUMBS UP*

[sbasey]

"Middle pedal....MIDDLE PED !!!"

[nixxon]

The thumbsup means he meant to do that

[david942k]

HHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!

[chef767]

wooooo one corner woooooo second corner shit........

[TinnInches]

*slap slap* that's it baby. Good work today.

[wrxkila351]

Hahahahaha

[stalldrom]

"ariel är väl ett tvättmedel"

[ethownzbh]

talk about a lockup

[st3von00b]

HAHA, dumbass didn't let off the brakes to allow the vehicle to turn. Clearly never raced before OR driven on ice.

[kowalityjesus]

a bit skimpy on the braking i guess

[kimepAlmaty]

мешок...

[heterosapien69]

should've installed ABS on it.

[maxpower700]

'rookie' mistake... låste bromsarna =) men i stundens hetta å dålig reaktionsförmåga, så brukar det sluta med panik och försvarsmekanism = stampa på bromsen

[LinderMedia]

It is NOT a women as a passenger. It is a man with short pants..

[SuicidalLooney]

I feel sorry for the guy, because women come and go that's no sweat off his back, but that atom, only a few made per year

[patryklucarz]

lol what a pussy honestly. all he had to do is let off the brake...

[spyling]

Fail



[SweetMooch]

Fail...

[Dryzaum]

"'They do offer a big brake pack. Go for it, or you wont be here in the spring..''

[Kevbo4226]

@Dryzaum Top Gear top tip

[hvf26]

lol noob

[Superfokia]

OREOS

[tszekely13]

IDIOT...

[Lucienator]

late on the brakes and a lockup,

hes not very good is he?

[owenvipermap]

looked like he was abit late on the brakes, from the onboard view.

[tallica1988]

Cold tyres, too fast, Crash lol

[Trippsol]

Thats the part where you are supposed to turn left.

[glashoppah]

LOL - love people that buy extreme sports cars and then think they're going to be awesome. The Atom is completely unforgiving - it's raw and basic. It requires a lot of experience to push its limits.

[rockyzee]

Trying to impress the lady friend I see...

[damiata101]

@HMBK45 they have ABS but because the car is so light they lock up a lot which kind of sucks for the price u pay for the car itself.

[SuBN01z3RaT]

@damiata101 if it had abs it wouldnt lock up the abs computer takes pressure of the brakes to unlock then re applies them get in a car with abs do about 30 or 40 and push on the brake pedal as hard as you can you will understand it then

[spencermel]

went in too hot.well hopefully just new A arms.

[mclovin12q]

you can see him turn but the car not move

[HKBM45]

@mclovin12q Thats because he locked up the brakes. No ABS.

[mclovin12q]

@HKBM45 ohh

[rockyzee]

@HKBM45 Rule of thumb, if you activate your ABS on the track, you're doing something wrong...

[glashoppah]

@rockyzee The Atom doesn't have ABS.

[heltunikt]

Come on people! The thumbs up is just to signal that he's not hurt.

[JRoddvelar]

15 secons ride, to much power for that driver =C lol

[acenace24]

It seems Swedish Stig is drunk

[be2Gee]

HAHA... I feel a little bit sorry for the dude. He's trying to impress the girl but fails.

Happens only in Sweden xD

[StegRacing]

Passenger had to have almost broken their wrist on the side bar!

[piersremus]

locking up the brakes is never a good thing....

[Magdaftw]

buy something with ABS next time.. (Anti-Lock Braking System).

[Farekim]

@Magdaftw Weigh too much, it's supposed to be as light as possible. The driver is simply bad.

[usageee]

I hate courses like these.

[WeaponX831]

This is why it's important to memorize the track. Thumbs up for what? Fastest time from the beginning to the end of his race. Looks like bumpers might actually serve some purpose like protecting the wheels.

[hauz1life]

ahahah wtf he gave a thumbs up

[TheBlooMonster]

@hauz1life A thumbs up? he gave like million thumbs up but ppl really care about the care more

[CADpencil]

Got to love the girl way he gives the girl a wee grope at 1:20 ! Smooth guy...

[MisterPeetBull]

Looks like he is used to ABS. Pussy.

[unikprod]

@MisterPeetBull LOL. Really

[StikManJones]

@MisterPeetBull exactly what i thought.

[CARMAGEDON28]

@MisterPeetBull wasnt ABS his wheels locked up. That was just him panicking lol

[jguan]

Cold tires.

[MaistroDavid]

saw it irl ;)

[fernandohans12]

Theunknownforce001@

To show the crowd that he's okay!

[jamhar89]

wow what a shit driver

[Theunknownforce001]

"Stig impersonator: Hey i crashed :D *Thumbs up* Woot *Double thumbs up*"

Lol why the fuck did he give thumbs up to the crowd when he crashed xD

[zaWiCKeTza]

1 word......FAIL

[samiurrahmanshah]

I wouldn't even do that track on a push bike. Stupidly narrow and "no fun at all"

[alex0695]

@samiurrahmanshah hmmm you haven't heard of hillclimb right?

[samiurrahmanshah]

@alex0695 I have, all that I'm saying is that being challenging is different to being difficult.

[lingling0432219507]

hahaha fail

[Redmailnet]

Nice! Next time shift down.

[HachiZenki]

Why'r there 2 people in that car?  Obviously the other fat git needs to leave. Disturbs the weight balance.

[Dragoeth]

Oh i played it back like 3 times and I think I saw it.... not sure though. Still rough.

[Dragoeth]

Nice track... How are you supposed to do a decent lap when the second corner is impossibly tight and short without even a brake distance sign? I'd of hit that wall too not gonna lie... Came out of nowhere.

[Reaver2K7]

@Dragoeth

there was a brake marker he was still accellerating when he passed it, still not a fun corner though.

[infiniti2006]

Love the thumbs up... "We're good!"  -_-

[elpistachs]

thumbs up if u fuckin hate this bitch pussy mother fucker british assholle . hijo de tu putaperracojidamamadaculiadapa­rchadafloriadaputiadapantunflo­namarranaconchudacojelona madre

[jabba12000]

Thing needs wider tires.

[andrewmor10]

Dosent that thing have a super charged vtec

[02pattersonp]

@andrewmor10 if its the 'special one' with the v8 then nope, think the mk1 had a supercharged type r vetec in it though, hell of a machine!

[m100s3]

too much money and not enough talent

[IKowItAll]

Must have not purchased the brake package...

[fikri1996]

also thumbs up :D

[Diller2]

That'll buff right out.

[SICKJ0KER]

Seeee it should of had wider tires!! WTF! Why doesn't it??!

It would be BOSS if it did

[insgreatintheshwr]

Nice helmet on the passenger

[battlefever91]

lol @ all the comments about how he can't drive... locking up the brakes is instant crash on a tight barricaded circuit, happens to the best of racing drivers. every big name F1 driver has done it, every person who drives a car without ABS has done it, he was just lucky he only contacted doing about 20mph. doesn't by any means indicate poor driving skills...

[viperbsg62]

It didn't turn because he locked the brakes

[tonychet2s]

lol he turned left and it didnt turN!!

[plazmanian]

Just shows what people and lots of money can achieve :-)

[SicVic426]

UNDERSTEEERR LIKE A BITCH SHOULD HAVE TRIED TO DRIFT IT

LET GO OF THE BRAKE!!! AND STEERR

[videoman223]

Just got cocky.

[LeedsJimbo82]

Wow he successfully negotiated ONE corner.

[BMC1100]

Good to see the passenger wearing safety shorts.

[Avi4torMATT]

fail

[xXRosscoUkXx]

this is why abs was invented :P

[SezFromMalygos]

lmao now THAT im embarrasin to lock it up and crash .... shoulda have taken more practice... lmao

[worldinflames11]

he shouldnt have locked the wheels):

[xyrod]

Need an ABS sir ?

[T1P1N]

LOL steering went out

[RelentlessIntentions]

Am i the only person thinking he'd have done better just to slow down a lil bit and take the cornera bit too fast instead of locking up straight into the barrier?

[TheWhupper]

That went well.

Dangerous circuit, no run off space, and too many spectators.

[MaistroDavid]

@TheWhupper it's in the middle of a small town. i live there :)

[whlzdenis]

The thing is that this car is so delicate it will respond even to the smallest steer or even a little bit of pressing the pedal. You can see while he just started he kept shakin the steering wheel and the car kept shakin. It was the drivers fault because he was going too fast this car is delicate like a F1 car its really precise on even the smallest thing you do to it. Its like a mini F1

[KeViNO1234567890]

What a massive cock.

[topmore7]

on 2nd turn ?!! u have to brake way before bro !!! i already saw your take off ..look like u were on caffeine or something ..relax! wheels don't turn while braking at high speed s. law of physics ?

[PriestsandParamedics]

Needs some ABS

[guilleory]

What a waste of money

[kijiaoi]

sucks

[kizugrey]

Swedes...

[claudiovtec]

hihihihhiih o CALLOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[adamussse]

i am a swed and he sad thats a fast car in the end so i think thats explains

it at lest a bit :)

[netmatrix75]

what the passenger with only shorts!!!

[Razorfish]

Dang it! Physics still apply.

[bobtheswan92]

still a honda

[nashvilleraidersfan]

thumbs up for success!

[shawn963741]

needs abs and so do the caterham 7s'

[chonyc77]

shouldnt have locked up.. I would have let go at the end and went for turn..

[trd88noz]

@chonyc77 sometimes, sacrificing a front end hit is a better choice rather than taking chance to force it. it might end up going sideways and hit the wall. that could break a neck.

[HaimeToroPath]

Also, 1:07 was the hardest he's ever banged her.

[HaimeToroPath]

It was as if he didnt really know the track, it looked like that tyre wall at 1:03 took him by surprise a little bit. Swerved over too far, locked up, pretty much all steering gone and into the wall...

I dont know what would be more devastating, telling the owner or having to take that thing home and sit it in the drive.

[jerome0713]

Some say that he can destroy a car at the second corner, and steal famous driver's helmet ... all we know HE'S NOT THE STIG

[Ferrariman601]

@jerome0713 Damn it!! I though Stig was a Swedish sounding name too... ;)

[EddYCaTa]

next time he will be much slower on that corner.........:P

[cscarlet696]

No abs :(

[gdepallens]

What a lack of skills. Second corner and he is out. Unbeliveable!!!...

[chaper96]

haha he got skillz ^^

[CH3D3RBix]

what a dick

[willyoldfox]

he is stig's swedish cousin

[jonsered]

Ja Ariel är ett tvättmedel.

[TheCardPlayer]

WHAT A DUMB F*CK!

[Ainived]

Oh no a corner, quick, lock up the wheels!! Duh..
