TVR made sure he got em all... if your gonna crash, then you gotta do it properly

[R33TOM]

[fEkuaR]

man what carnage!!!! I cant believe no one was seriously hurt

[Boof]

Ye gads!!! Thats a crash and half!! Nobody hurt at all??? Miracle if there wasn't!

is andybody else worried how easily those cars just fell apart, i mean seriously!

lots of cars involved but no real major impacts etc...looks like the marshall jumped at the right time just as the viper was hitting him.

If they're anything like formula 1 cars they're made like that on purpose. Every part of the car breaks off so easy and absorbs all the impact, while the shell is a shit load stronger and protects the driver...

I know what u mean.the bodies crumbled like cookies.It was allmost like when you see a formula ford or f1 car have an accident.

Man, he jumped at the right time.... LOL!

[geno8r]

Man that was awesome *to watch at least*

[Kinks]

marshall was lucky. that well-timed jump saved him several broken bones, quite possibly even his life.

dont they all have 2way communication? so if theres a prang they tell the guys "slow down round corner 2" etc etc

[dezz]

I was gonna say, that the marshalling etc at that race looked very amateur. You don't run out onto the track just because there's a crash, when other cars are still racing, even with yellow flags (especially when visibility is basically 0)

[ookami]

took their time to red flag the race!!! Man there's bugger all metal in those cars too, thats scary when the car rips open.

Yeah, they are designed like that, as to cushion the blow on impact. Plus carbon fibre is made to be strong only one way, the way in which the weave is going. So when cars are sliding in sideways to each other is plain to see how brittle it can be.

Funny shit though! Luck no-one was hurt.

lol i found this video through another forum today, i didn't realize it was already posted and put it in the SA wasteland.

the second Saleen in the crash was a write off.
