i know this is not ferrari stuff butt it was massive stack. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxrDaA0P_bI if anyone got any idea how the two drivers are.
Kristensen (the guy who got T boned) is ok, but Premat (the guy who hit him) broke a couple of bones. Nothing life threatening.
Did the driver who got T-Boned keep his foot planted on the accelerator? Sure seems like there was an awful large amount of tire smoke and the way the back end of the car shot around again seems to support he did not lift. Is there any reason he would have kept his foot planted, other than trying to spin the car back around to face the correct way which was not a safe idea if that was indeed what he was doing. Mark
You lost me. When did he crash? I can't even remember the last time he participated in a GP. I think I wasn't even born then...
IIRC this was not a racing accident. I believe that was in Mugello. Not really sure but I believe Badoer never raced for the Scuderia. Also can't remember a MS-Burti crash. Irvine-Burti, yes in Spa.
you are right. that was a testing incident. i think it was some sorta suspension failure. Regarding MS- Burti, Burti smashed into MS at the start of the race, when MS's gearbox failed at the start. burti flew into the air spectacularly.
Tom Kristensen is a very good friend of Tina and me and he was indeed the driver in the number 7 Audi (Tom is the famous Seven time Le Mans overall winner!!)which got hit by Premat yesterday at Hockenheim! Tom is fine although still at hospital in Mannheim, Germany! He will be travelling back to his family tomorrow! Tom will be ready for the next race in 14 days time! He remembers nothing from the impact, but he was pushed out of the track by another Audi, lost control of the car, starting to spin arround and was hit hard by Premat when he was trying to regain control of his car, and was hit again by Susie Stoddart! If it wasn't for his "HANS" device and helmetTom would have broken his neck he told us!! He was very lucky to survive this serious accident! Thank God!!! Best Carsten
No... It was turn 3 at Catalunya, the long long right hander. As for Badoer: http://www.f1rejects.com/drivers/badoer/index.html "The driver with the most number of F1 races without scoring a single point. But you don't walk off with the F3000 title at your first attempt, and secure the most prestigious tester's role in F1 without having quite a bit of talent."
DTM looks amazing, close intense action with good cars. That was a crazy crash though, hope everyone is all right.
This is great racing. It has elements that are missing in F1(close intense action). I went to this race and it was my first exposure to DTM. I will go again. Frankly it was more exciting than most, not all, but most F1 races Ive attended.
Kingair33 expresses the point for the rest of us...... ....but being from Texas, I know how poorly correct, or even semi- or pseudo-correct English can be a barrier for the NaSKraP crowd. I'll translate..... "NAS-CAR be iz gooder fer this hear stuffs cuz itz gaut gud krashizes an stuff an goin in big circle and big krashiz sum with skeeree far." Just trying to help out with the communication gap.
The best F1 stack up was 1996, Belgium, raining, first lap. Coulthard veered across the circuit for some reason, and every car except maybe three or four ended up piling into each other. No one was hurt, but MAN was it spectacular. You should have heard Murray Walker going off, way funny. I would have used exclamation marks, but someone bought them all on clearance.
