I was spectating by the complex at Thruxton when this happened yesterday:

Got to be the most mental thing I've ever seen with my own eyes!!

Did'nt realise at the time how lucky the marshals were not to be hurt.

 

[LegoHead]

Thruxton is down the road from me, I could hear the cars yesterday morning.

Not seen video yet.


editoooooooooopsss.

 

[Ross M]

ouch

 

[Remedi]

Looked scary as f**k!

 

[jamesp24]

crazy the cars must b so strong to take that sort of abuse and for the person to be fine.

 

[Russ_16v]

fair play to the camera man,he just kept filming

 

[Herdie172]

That is one serious crash. Would you say the cage saved his life cos the roof took a fair hit and stayed together well?

I remember that too.

Kelvin must be hard as nails!

saw this on ITV the other day - cant believe the two just just casually walking away ...

Bloody hell. I was thinking about this sort of crash at Castle Combe today when I noticed I was no more than 20ft from the actual circuit and the insane Castle Combe Saloons were passing at up to 150mph. It would only take one car to get lifted up by another and you wouldn't stand a chance.

 

[Tighten My Nuts]

Makes you realise why they have those "Motorsport is Dangerous" signs posted every 10m around the perimter - to ensure no-one sues them following such an incident.

Can't believe that Porsche vaulted clean over the safety fence that was behind the barrier!

 

[Fred@BTM]

they're rock solid the porsche's, fully seam welded, did you notice the doors flying off? they're only about 3kg each

 

[Englebert]

May as well do it properly...

 

[new_world_disorder]

jesus. if only theyd had an onboard camera

 

[Christopher]

...they do iirc, although i doubt there was a lot of usable footage after that one!

 

[ukaskew]

Some pics, really shows how high the car got...
