Big crash at LeMans

[talisman]

Starts off a little backwards, things start happening about 19 seconds in. Looked like one wild fucking ride for the guy that goes airborne. Also, if you look in the lower left as the video pans back as they are headed toward the wall you can see a dude sprinting away from what was coming at him. Crazy as shit.

Wow. This is the first year in a long time I didn't watch it.

Sorry to say but this was already posted in the Delta wing thread

Anthony Davidson, the driver of the Toyota, broke two vertebrae but will be fine.


And yeah, the Deltawing thread kinda turned into the general 24 Hours of Le Mans thread.

Crazy! Glad they are both okay. Thanks for posting.

Those barriers are some amazing engineering.

douchebag ferrari driver had no clue the guy was there and was passing him. Later in the broadcast he said that the prototype should have broke earlier. Typical Ferrari driving douchebag that can't admit fault.

Wow, how many drivers do they keep on the ready? How long do each one drive? Looked like a football team waiting on the bench. How many cars did Toyota have out there?

Toyota had 2 teams in LMP1 and there were 2 other Toyota cars run by another team.

Each car / team has 3 drivers.

Jesus, after 2 hours in our car, Im ready to roll over and die. I know these guys train for it, but that must be a beating.

Cool suit, drink bottle, and in a lot of case air conditioning(!!!) help!

Don't know how dudes did it in 917s and 330 P4s.

Recently read an article interviewing Sam Posey about going to Le Mans in '66 and not having seatbelts in the Bizzarrini he was running. Nuts.

[LaserSVT]

Ouchies.

Pussy! LOL! I've done 2:45 in an AI car and nearly 4 hours in a lemons car with no power steering. When you are relaxed and the car is working right and driving smooth it ain't that bad.
