The good news: The player's car can roll over in Gran Turismo 5. The bad news? It can happen at 82mph. Don't worry, it's not the game being rubbish, it's actually a realistic interpretation of real life (as Jerry Seinfeld will tell you), but it still makes for fascinating viewing...
So why did it happen at such a pedestrian 82mph? The answer's simple - she was driving this:
Above: The Fiat 500. Probably not designed to take corners at 80mph
Theoretically, this could happen to a Fiat 500. They're rather top-heavy and at that kind of speed (and with grippy tyres), a roll is not out of the question. Still, it must have surprised the poor girl.
There's another roll earlier in the video, and I do recommend watching the whole thing, if only for the sight of said Japanese lady trying to get into the racing seat with a green house atop her head.
Let us know what you think of the Monopoly-like headgear and/or the rolling car in the comments.
