Why You Should Never Use Launch Control In A Car Park!

The driver should have at least learnt to drive the car properly first!

I'm sorry to say that this article is about yet another rental car being crashed, and possibly written off by an inexperienced driver.

This time, it's a McLaren 650S Spider, but you can hardly work out what the car is amongst all the damage to the car! The 3.8L twin turbo V8 can reach 60MPH in 3.0 seconds with the launch control, however the driver found this out the hard way.

Although nothing official has been released as to what happened with the 650S, reports suggest that the driver had tried the launch control function whilst being situated in a car park. - not a great idea.
