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.

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

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 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)

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.

    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.

    • I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
