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!


Big Lotus Exige crash at the 'ring.

 

ouch. Love the 7 btw. my friend from highschool has an R500. So much fun to be in!

 

"karussells" Really?

 

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!

 

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.

 

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

 

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 ******' oil spill!

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

 

trying to get video of that up, all the tws stuff is on his laptop

 

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