Non-Miata: Heavy Exige crash at the 'Ring
 
This went off right in front of me, I don't mind saying I was a bit shook-up afterwards! I was in the little Caterham CSR - if I'd have crashed too it would have been ER time! :loser:

The OP lives at the 'ring I'd like to think he knows the correct name.

Crash looks not much fun :( I've personally never seen the fascination of going to the 'ring, I quite like having some run-off. Lewis Hamilton I am not.

One day...I will travel to the 'ring and make a run around it.

Video is always better... bet his neck wished he had a Hans, then again, it was more of a side impact, still...

His neck wished he had a seat with helmet tabs.

Caracciola Karussell and Kleine Karussell (often called Schwalbenschwanz)... Wenn ich muss genau richtig! :laugh:

is it pronouonced SHVALBINSHVANTS (en english mann, V not= W) and "something" I must be right now?

I give up - it's been tooooo long since my last hefeweizen... I WISH I was racing when stationed in Mannheim back in the day!

Looks like maybe he got caught up in the pace of the faster cars?

That has got to suck, I bet that chassis cant take much impact without being totally useless.

The OP's link says oil spill.

redfred18t 05-18-2011 12:04 AM
it looks like he just lost grip completely, it didnt even look like he pushed it too much. That sucks, at least hes alive. That looks like a brutal hit

falcon 05-18-2011 01:27 AM
I bet his wallet hurt after that... Sucks because it was in no way his fault.

I wouldn't even be that pissed if I crashed on that track, unless it was caused by a fuckin' oil spill! :vash:

johnwag hit oil at TWS a few weeks ago and luckily went off in the grass with some hardcore spinning.

That track scares the shit out of me even in a VW Golf! Going back for another crack at it in September.
