MOSE Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Not a Fezza crashing, but a NASCAR crash from various angles taken at Daytona race circuit. Cant imagine what it must be like to be in a group of cars that's involved in a crash like this, specially at those crazy speeds.

RedRobin Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Jeeeze!! That's very scary from just a touch. Was anyone killed? The cars are totally built around a full cage....Panels added to cage and not cage inserted into body panels, so they are probably stronger than the trucks in this crash. I have NASCAR 2003 plus Momo ForceFeedback steering wheel etc etc on my Mac system and can see how easy it is to get out of line with those beasts but the software has limited damage reproduction. NASCAR racing is nothing like as boring as some people imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdiesel Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Geoff Bodine only suffered an broken ankle, broken arm and a facial laceration in the accident that took place during the Craftsman Truck race in 2000. 9 fans were injured with the worst injury being a broken arm. One other driver was taken to the medical centre with minor injuries. Just goes to show that there is so much luck when an accident like that happens. Just 12 months later the great Dale Earnhardt was killed on the last lap of the NASCAR race in a much less serious looking accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Botang Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Pickup truck racing is great, I have watched the version that they hold at Rockingham and its always action packed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilB Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Crashes that last ages are far better then ones like Ratzenbergers, Senna's and Earnhardt's as the enegry is released slowly rather then in one big lump. That's why I feared the worst when Burti went into that tyre carrier in 2001 at Spa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
