NickR33 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 yep fine just a bump on the head from the hans/helmet check out the thread he has posted some in car footage... looks like a brake failure of some sort... and then some brain fade as he still tried to turn into the corner with waaay too much speed... hit the sand sideways and the rest is pretty evident Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/297020-how-to-clear-sandtraps-and-3-fences-in-seconds/#findComment-4947077 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer Baron Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 yeah it's a bit dump. the vid of the aston martin shows what happens when you hit it. you get airborne and miss most of the gravel trap. here's the incar from the zed. you can see as the crash starts he hits the lip and gets airborne and is just going to fly over most of the gravel trap regardless of whether or not it cartwheeled. and you can see this crash at the same spot starts almost the same way. car hits the lip, gets airborne and misses half to two thirds of the sand trap and ends up in the the wall. having the sandtrap fall away from the track edge like that just doesn't work. nor does the lip before you hit it. the astons flight does look quite graceful though... lol.

Beer Baron Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 lol, same time! d'oh. that BMW crash is nasty. shame too as the driver did all the right things, he countersteered enough to keep the car straight, slowed down as was motoring along happily until he hit the stunt ramp which just completely fked his day.
