Porsche Crash - Imola

[Alex H]

Given what happened on this day seventeen years ago at the same track - bet anyone seeing this live had hearts in mouths.

Monster smash.

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

Confirming this gave me chills down my spine.

But then I lol'd at the bit where the guy gets out with just a bit of a limp.

 

[Gaz.]

That's one nasty smash.

 

[TimR26]

That's a big hit, lucky to walk away from that!

 

[Mr Burns]

Time for the gaffer tape and touch-up paint.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

f**k me sideways

 

[adamlstr]

At least rolling countless times = energy dissipation !

I can't believe Senna's was 17 years ago too, an age ago. But tbh, it's thanks to his and Roland Ratzenberger's loss that weekend that saw the development in safety that meant the guy in the blue porker walked away from his car with nothing more than a limp !

 

[Tony Hunter]

We've got our first race next week, and all I keep seeing is fkn crashes on here.

Shows what speed they are doing,it goes on for the whole main straight.

 

[Nickson]

Jesus thats a huuuuuuuuuuuge smash!
Very lucky to walk out of that!

At least you're not racing at Cadwell. FML.

|Good luck.

Incredible. Testament to the sort of safety structures in modern comp cars. Benefit of the Porsche is that the front compartment will be very effective at adsorbing impact energy, even on that scale!

You'll be fine, XR2s can't go that fast

I did my first trackday at Cadwell

Yeah,but that just swaning around humming to yourself,not with somebody trying to take your wingmirrors off.

Fast enough to make a mess

 

[TimR26]

I can imagine going two a breast into Halls Bends would be interesting to say the least!

 

[Jay Payne]

He races stock hatch remember, almost a contact sport

 

[TimR26]

I know I've watched him race and I'm watching Alex again at Cadwell next weekend.

So true, don't forget Barrichellos smash that weekend! I may of been 6 years old but I still remember how horrific that weekend was.

Speaking of Senna, the documentary looks amazing and I got little emotional during the trailer of it at the cinema.

IF they accept my entry

Thanks for the vid Jay. Rear axles are prone to shearing under load, so I'm told.

 

[Englebert]

Ouch.

Neither can you Tim....

 

[TimR26]

Neither can you Tim....

Are you obsessed with commenting about me or on my posts? :boring:

 

[Ollie82.]
