YouTuber MrBeast Crashed a Formula E Race Car in Miami
MrBeast's latest lap on the race track didn't exactly go as planned. The YouTube star, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, crashed Formula E's electric GEN3 Evo race car he was driving at an event in Miami last week, Road and Track reported. Though he lost control of the car and spun into the wall, the content creator wasn't injured, and the car was not too badly damaged, either.

Held at the Miami International Autodrome, the gathering brought together 11 of the world's 'most-followed' personalities, including Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, Tom Felton, and sports content creator Theo Baker, to test out the GEN3 Evo. And MrBeast was off to a good start on the first lap in the race car—which has German driver David Beckmann behind the wheel during Formula E events—not far behind a Porsche Taycan Turbo GT safety car. Then, coming out of a left-hand turn in sector 1, the social-media star spun the car 360 degrees and hit the wall, Road and Track reported. Donaldson jumped out of the car, and the session came to an end after the race car was taken back to the pits. It doesn't seem like anyone was too phased by Donaldson's crash on the track. though. According to an Instagram post from Formula E captioned 'Oops,' MrBeast had a huge smile on his face after the incident. The GEN3 Evo has some pretty crazy stats behind it, with a zero-to-60-mph time of just 1.82 seconds. That's 30 percent faster than a current Formula 1 car, according to Formula E, and makes it the quickest accelerating single-seat race car in the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (the governing body of motorsports). And the model is touted as the world's first net zero carbon race car, thanks to its electric batteries with an output of 400 kW. It's also the first Formula E race car to have all-wheel drive, which enhances both performance and strategy, and is the fastest model to date with a 200 mph top speed, the company says. As for the brand behind the race car, Formula E got its start back in 2011, where the idea for an all-electric street-racing series came to life during a discussion between founder Alejandro Agag and former FIA President Jean Todt in Paris. Now a host to 12 teams and 24 drivers, the race made its debut in 2014, in Beijing's Olympic Park. The race's 11th season is currently underway, with the next race set for April 12 in Miami. Hopefully, those drivers will have much better luck on the track than MrBeast did.
