Yer at the start of the video i was like wtf thats nothing but then it slammed into another car and BOOM. That would be the worst ive seen. I could not comprehend how someone could survive that.

That is pretty damn gruesome and the camera seems to be focused on the Ferarri engulfed in flames for a long time without any noticeable movement in or around the car. I guess his nomex suit paid for itself right there!

I didn't realise Ferarris had door-mounted fuel tanks!
Damn, that's a big hit! Only a Valiant could drive away from something like that... -Dave- |

I haven't actually clicked the link, but I am assuming it's the car going up in flames in some Japanese race, a very graphic accident IIRC.
The worst motorsport accident would have to the Le Mans one in the 50s (I think), it involved a car flipping and the wing flying off and decapitating over 50 spectators, I think the death toll was huge in the end. I'm sure there's something on the internet about it, but I can't be bothered trying to find it now, but it would have been shocking.

How on earth could the Ferrari driver have survived that?
Even a suit wouldn't withstand those kind of temps...would they? You couldn't see the drivers side, but the passenger side was pretty stuffed! Anyone with 'proof of life' on this guy? |

read my earlier post.
go over to FF.COM (not .au) and find the original posting of this video. there should be a link to a report/article about it. as i mentioned, he DID survive and also got compensation. something to do with the marshals and the track owner or something. ICBF looking and since i know for a fact he survived, im not going to bother to look for it either. if you dont believe me, then you can find the info yourself. |
