350z Crash

And this is why tracked cars have roll cages...

Crash at Mid Ohio SCCA T2 Nissan - LotusTalk - The Lotus Cars Community

Video cuts out but shows the start of the crash:


One lucky guy... Beast of a crash but the cage saved his ass.

Re: 350z Crash

Looks like it was a combo of speed and the car slowing down more than expected in front of him.

Re: 350z Crash

Looks like the throttle suck wide open because even if he was the only car on the track he was going about 50mph too fast to make that turn.
