There's not a whole lot to say here besides to remark on how lucky this driver at Lonestar Motorsports Park was to not total his $89,950 MSRP Nissa GT-R. Hopefully the fortunate individual will study what went wrong with the launch and be a bit more careful in the future.

Its not clear whether or not the driver was using the GT-R's built in launch-control (probably not, given the results). Of course, 545 horsepower and 463 lb/ft of torque can be hard to handle at launch, and the driver was deservedly applauded to reigning the ponies in after they surged out of control.

It's not often you can lose the race and come out with the glory.
