jesus christ that's an impressively bad crash! he literally couldn't see it coming, and the guy in the flamed car was lucky!

Im surprised the marshals seemed more keen on putting the cars out than the drivers gloves that were on fire.

is the petrol tank made out of paper and located in the rear bumper or summert!? didn't the ford pinto suffer from this type of accident?

Yeah, but Ford knew about that and did nothing.
Now this has shown up these guys will have a bit of a redesign on their hands.

clever aussies ey! I'm no expert in track set up either but those cars bob there nose quite a bit under acceleration/braking!!

 

[Tony Hunter]

Bit like the the start line at Brands last year in our race,lucky no flames that time.

 

[Gaz.]

Bloody hell that's shocking.

 

[Rob_]

That car crumbled like a car with no cage in it crazy!

 

[Dominic172]

Wasnt expecting that, was more like a napalm drop than a car smash

 

[Cookie]

He went underneath the other car!

Nomex ftw

That car crumbled like a car with no cage in it crazy!

The main area supported by the cage held up well enough, the door opened no problem so it did its main job in an incident like that.

WOW, that was horrendous.

 

[jamesybear]

Well that was pretty bad!

 

[TimR26]

Those flames were really bad, just reminds of how dangerous motorsport can be.

There was a fairly big startline shunt at Thruxston yesterday in the Ginetta Supercup. Wiped out 3 cars.

 

[Dweeb]

[Nick172Cup]

Yeah saw that on the tele yesterday Ollie, that made a mess also!

 

[Fletcher]

Nasty!
