Horrific MR2 crash

Postby immorality » Thu Apr 21, 2011 10:01 am

This has been making the rounds for a few days, but I thought I'd post it up for those that haven't seen it.

This video comes from the Toyota MR2 Club Race at Brands at the weekend. 2010 champion Zac Chapman (red car number one) and Russian Andrei Bgatov (black car number 50) come together at the entrance to Paddock Hill Bend, before Bgatov is catapulted fully clear of the barrier and straight into the grounds of the Kentagon pub.

Happily both of them walked away with only slight injuries, and no harm came to any spectators.

(You'll have to ignore the rather inappropriate music, which for some reason seems to be lifted from an old Sinclair Spectrum shoot-em-up.)

omg...

Thats why in racing you have full roll cages, 5 point (or more) harnessed, Racing seats, fire extinguishers, helmets, and neck braces.
