Start Line "incident" in West Australia round of V8 Super Car Championship
Last Sunday's race start at Barbagallo Raceway was incident packed ....
75 litres of E85 fuel went up in smoke - thankfully, both drivers are OK. Minor burns to the hands of the driver of the car in front - received when he put his hands onto the metalwork of the car as he exited the vehicle, and the driver of the car that hit him (impact speed 143kph - peak decelration was 42G ofr around 5milliseconds) has bruised testicles (quoted as being the size of baseballs) from the 6-point harness. Neck injury avoided as these guys all use HANS devices ... and all wear triple layer suits, gloves, nomes socks and fireproofed boots, nomex balaclava's under the helmets and with an additional layer of nomex underwear as well. Scary stuff. YouTube - V8 Supercar Crash Perth Barbagallo Raceway |
