8 Second GT-R smashes into a FLOCK of seagulls at 160mph

We’re not sure who had the heart attack first, the Nissan GT-R driver or the birds…

When you’re 100% focused on racing, casualties are something that are always at the back of your mind but they usually have something to do with mechanical failure rather than having obstacles to dodge when you’re doing 140mph.

Unfortunately for this GT-R driver, that wasn’t the case. Right at the end of a pass during the qualifying round of the 2014 Buschur Shootout an 8 second GT-R made contact with some birds who decided that a first row viewing experience wasn’t good enough, they wanted more. Nobody received word if there were any survivors or damage to the car. Luckily the driver was able to keep course and avoid any major damage.
