Is this show-off the first to crash a Toyota GT 86?

We all tend to get a bit overzealous at times – we'll call it part of human nature – and as many times as not, our tendencies to show off manifest themselves most when we're behind the wheel of a hot new sports car. Like, say the brand new Toyota GT 86, also known as the 2013 Scion FR-S here in the States, or, in Subaru form, the BRZ.
Such is the case with the unlucky fellow you'll see in the video embedded below. During what appears to be a drive event for Toyota's new coupe, taking place on a wet track in Japan, one driver exceeded his talent level in a bright red GT 86, sending it careening into a makeshift wall.
The good news is that it was a low-speed mishap, which means nobody was injured and the car will need little more than a decent buffing. Or maybe a new fascia... either way, make for good viral video. See the video clip below.
