Sliding Nissan GT-R Comes Perilously Close To Head-On Smash
In a dashcam video that’s sure to make you involuntarily clench, an R35 Nissan GT-R is seen having a massive sideways moment on a blind bend. They’re just about able to hold it, but there’s a problem - the camera car, which is driving the other way on this road in Augusta County, Virginia.
Fortunately, the latter driver quickly swerved out of the way and onto a grass verge, narrowly avoiding contact with the wayward Nissan. We’re thinking this can be classed as code brown territory.
On Reddit, the uploader speculated that it was a case of lift-off oversteer since no engine sound was heard just before the car appeared. A 30mph sign can be seen at the start of the video, but the camera car driver reckons the GT-R was doing over 60mph on corner entry. “He probably knew the turn, knew what he was doing, and was intentionally pushing the limits,” he added.
If it was me behind the wheel of the poster’s car, I’d be raging pretty hard, but the cammer mostly seems elated to have caught something on his recording equipment. “Finally something good!” he’s heard exclaiming…

As much as an idiot as the GTR driver was, I would say the reason there wasn’t an accident was in no small part to the GTR itself, even though it was understeering into the corner a car with less grip and they both would have been screwed
The ability to control road rage is the difference between a good and a great driver
Looks like someone has been playing Horizon 4 too much…
In Portugal, the dash camera car would be crashed against a tree. Where we have roads and trees. Not a safe side to stop or go like in the vídeo
