Have seen plenty of birds get hit in races at Phillip Island. Fortunately none quite like this...

Which ways that thing supposed to be pointing?
By the looks of it he's going backwards at that point.

 

[Doc_]

Nah. Smokes going the right way for it to be pointing forwards.

Montjuic park. 1969 Spanish GP. Jochen Rindt crashing out of the lead.

And doing a proper job of it too. No half-arsed little slide off the circuit.

Trying to think of a motorbike equivalent?

Marquez at PI a couple of times?

From Macau about an hour ago

 

[NotAMagpieBogan]

A properly awful crash at Macau. No news on conditions of the driver, photographers and marshalls. It’ll be a miracle if all survive.


There is amateur footage but I won’t post until more is known.

Edit: beat me to it Smoooothy but I would probably take the video down until we find out more. Seems like majority of the concern is for marshals and photographers.

 

[Forward Press]

FIA have confirmed the driver and a few marshals and photographers are conscious, but all are currently receiving medical treatment. Hope this means all parties make a full recovery, when I watched the crash at full speed it was horrific as f***.

 

[NSWCROW]

Sophia floersch is " fine " according to the team

 

[Klyntonius]

That's as violent a crash as you'll ever see. Incredible no one was killed!

 

[drd23]

Holy shit! How did that even happen?

 

[Doc_]

Amazing there was no deaths. Thats about one of the worst impacts I'ver ever seen.
