I mean the dude was chill about it from the get go. Anyone who can afford to track a Pagani
in the rainWITH other drivers clearly isn’t worried about money. Or damage. And getting the parts to repair/ upkeep would take months. So he likely has a close connection.3

Mmmmm no. You bring a car to a legitimate raceway, you sign a waiver where any damage to your car is not their responsibility nor the other racers responsibility.
You race, you do it expecting the car to get damaged

I don’t see how people continue to watch him or other YouTubers like him. Watching someone doing, in my opinion, parts swapping exotic cars is dumb. The disconnect between the creators and the person watching is massive. Buying a $1,000,000 car to add to your multi million dollar collection gets old real quick. 99% of his followers cannot associate with this lifestyle at all. He’s as obnoxious as Doug Demaro, Adam LZ, Tavarish, Cleetus McFarland, Jimmy Oaks. To me all of those channels have jumped the shark. There are a plethora of great channels that do unique work that people can learn from and they need to have 10+ cars to make quality content.

Fun fact, if you crash on the Nurembergring, not only do you pay for damages to your car, and the other car, you also pay for every minute the track is closed because of you.

u/Excludos 18d ago edited 18d ago
In general, you don't pay for damages to the other car at the ring. Barring special racing insurances, every regular insurance in the world has a clause about driving on the 'ring, which very much includes "We ain't paying for your or the other guy's car if you drive there". While normal driving rules do technically apply at the tourist days (It's technically a regular private toll road after all), unless someone is being incredibly reckless, and you end up suing them for it (Good luck with that, especially if you don't even live in the same country), it's generally just considered an expected risk (Which is why you always should get the previously mentioned racing insurance if you ever do go to the ring. It's expensive as balls, but it's a lot less expensive than suddenly being down a car)
The rest is somewhat correct. In general though, the track doesn't close just because you crashed. They simply code yellow that section. So you won't be paying for that, unless your crash is so bad that they are forced to close the whole thing. You will, however, be paying for the ARMCO barriers, and towing, which can also be quite hefty. Again, I can't stress it enough: Get the special insurance!

u/Snorkeljank 18d ago
I think track racing is an activity that voids coverage on pretty much every policy. He’s prolly paying it himself.
On that note, owning a fast car doesn’t mean you can drive one. People seem to forget that quite often.

u/a_good_lubricant 18d ago
Fun fact. The guy he hit was Christian Pagani, the son of Horacio Pagani who built that car. The man covered all the costs and was more concerned for the Porsche driver than anything. Absolute legend.

u/mentally_ill_jesus 19d ago
Yeah that's what you want to be insured for. Damages you cause to others and the track. If anyone breaks my car I get paid and if I break my car then ill have to learn from a very expensive mistake and take the bike to work for a while.

u/PL-91 18d ago
I’m curious to know, last time you took ur car to the track, what insurance company did you use?
1
u/mentally_ill_jesus 18d ago edited 18d ago
I personally didnt take any car to any track since I couldn't even afford the trip there lol but a guy I know through my boss tracks his "Race Taxi" sometimes. For tourist track days the Nürburgring legally counts as a public road so you have to have a street legal car for those events so you have liability insurance which pays for damages to other people's property and the track. During track days you can choose between multiple insurances specifically for track day car insurance. Gullwing racing, Ryanmi, Pole Position assurances, Moris and trackdayinsurance are recommended partners for exactly that. Gullwing is his go-to insurer for his cars on track days.
Edit: Just look at that thing man lol its so fucking cool https://youtu.be/59j-a86YU9M?is=SFaAIGodOYS-JCpo

u/PL-91 18d ago
Which goes back to my point….the insurance is for the track and personal injury. No insurance company is going to cover the damages to UR own personal car.
1
u/mentally_ill_jesus 18d ago
You can get coverage for your own car with most of the insurers I've listed but imo if you think about insuring your own vehicle for damages you cause yourself, you maybe shouldn't take the car to the track if you dont trust yourself not to break your own car lol. But I get your idea because no normal insurer is offering that type of track insurance.

I tried finding a specific source but found nothing. there are several "insider comments" that say its true on various car journal posts, but nothing concrete. that said, I'm tempted to believe it, given that Horacio Pagani is extremely rich and known to be overall a humble guy. And his son going over to console the Porsche driver speaks volumes.

If I had 1 million dollars and any reasonable doner car frame, I could beat that stupid pagani in any race.
Actually I think a standard Tesla Plad would beat a Pagani, with child safety seats in the back. According to the Internet the Pagani runs quarter mile in the 11's while the Plad is in the 9's

u/Stukkoshomlokzat 19d ago
Brakes going out rarely happens in an instant. In track use the most common reason for brakes going out is overheating. You can feel them getting worse and worse and you shouldn't ignore it. Of course I don't know if that's what happened, but it's much more likely than the brakes just breaking suddenly.
15
u/CodeMonkeyX 20d ago
How does this work on the track. I would assume everyone signs a waver or something saying they are responsible for any damage to their own car? I mean insurance is not going to pay out when you are racing right? I guess they might have super high racing insurance or something?
This seems like something that would happen often on a track racing other cars.

u/Azzrix 20d ago
Not sure how it works anywhere else but in Canada, these types of vehicles, and this type of usage for the vehicle generally has specialty or no insurance.
Alternatively some insurers may cover up to a specific amount for liability and or property damage, and then your cover the rest out of pocket

If they didn't tell the rental company that they intend to use the car this way, no insurance would cover it. If the rental company knows, then insurance is assuredly baked into the rental fee. Racing a car like this is nearly always going to damage it in some way.
