Racing is still dangerous
 

Sad news. Stefan Bellof was killed at that same corner at Spa in a 962.

Wow. Massive lateral loads on those cars. Six seconds in

That is quite hard to watch

Big hit.

Why did they put that red cover on that right rear tire that was shredded? Protection? Hide something?

video not able to be seen

Hit the tire wall at the top of Eau Rouge, spins and then gets broadsided by the American driver at pretty much full speed.

This video hasn't been taken down yet:

Design an object that weighs less than 2000 pounds, that can go 180 mph, and can protect the driver if someone hits you broadside at 125mph. That is not a thing.

Auto racing is dangerous. Godspeed sir.

A reminder that, in spite of all the safety improvements to cars, tracks and personal equipment, this is still a dangerous sport that claims and maims drivers. I think that we, as fans, get used to seeing horrific crashes and drivers walking away relatively unscathed and lose sight of how dangerous this is. Then we are reminded by the loss of a driver.

RIP

Horrific crash :(

F2 driver Juan Manuel Correa involved in the crash appears to be in a bad way, wishing him a speedy recovery

Very lucky escape, can't imagine how high and far a much faster F1 car would have travelled

Uhhh...what track structure did :eek: that and how long had it been there waiting for this guy to find it?

Any video ?
