Did the driver survive?

Thats Epic indeed

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

[sav man]

why does that track have a massive drop off before the sand trap?!?!?!?!

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]

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.

[sav man]

is mid-ohio a bloody stunt track? so far i've seen two parts of the track, one has a stunt ramp, and one has a stunt drop.

How could the safety design elements of that track be ok'd by any governing body worth their salt is beyond me......

[NickR33]

which begs the question... who's idea was it to put a jump ramp at a race track!? lol

[Kel]

my cousin could fix it bro'

get it back on the track in no time

( cmon someone had to say it )

quite seriously though, how they'd have/still have public liability insurance with run-offs like that is beyond me

the speed the zed was doing comming up to the corner he either forgot it was there or somthing went badly wrong with the brakes
