What exactly makes them ignorant? Becuase they crashed? So anyone who crashes a nice car is ignorant?

Ouch.

On a side note, I've read that it's pretty dangerous to take exotics on long road trips outside of Singapore. Is this true?

Ouch, even with those safe cares your friend must be hurtin Well, as long as he's safe, those cars are replaceable, albeit at a very high price.

Seems like a sharp right bend to me. Porsche backs off for entrance while R8 is on his tail, Audi pulls sharp right to try & avoid, hits backend of Porsche.

Bummer for both, thankfully insurance should take care of things.
