Another Horrific Crash



Another crash for you. I remember this race vividly. It was Spa 2001. Everybody thought that Luciano Burti was dead. I thought so too. How could any person survive something like that? Crashing into a tyre wall at over 180 miles per hour.
The reason he did survive was because of excellent trackside safety, a good medical team, Eddie Irvine who can be seen rushing out of his stricken Jaguar to help Burti, and most importantly, a very rigid car.
Now, do you think your car can handle that? Something that is not even 1% the strength of that Prost Acer? I know mine can't. So don't speed for god sake. Even if you want to, understand the fundementals of speeding and the risks that go along with it.
