He wasn't seriously injured but DAMN.

That's not really shocking... come on...

Who says it has to be?

 

[Bo]

Maybe if he was going 150mph or something, but that's like ten a penny stuff when watching anything bike/ATV related.

 

[daan]

It fits with the thread topic, so if you don't like it, don't post.

Bennani was really torn up, saying to Tom after he went to find him on grid "I'm your friend, I wouldn;t do that!"

And to help they gave him a penalty WTCC not exactly showing off the new regs very well....

Welcome to WTCC everybody! What a farce (not that I expected anything else, but now everything about it irritates the hell out of me).

 

[Samus]

Great work by the director there, nobody wants to see the team boss with hands on his head in the middle of an incident.

I've been feeling that way since 2010 mate.. Haha! I really thought WTCC would be much better with the new regs but not.

The Jaafar and Sorensen crash was seriously awful and could've gone worse. But I just don't understand why Sorensen strongly put the blame on Jaafar when it was obvious that Sorensen was at fault. It reminds me of this..

I'd say the problem is moreso the circuit than anything else. Marrakech and Macau are always the most chaotic races. The next round at Paul Ricard should be better.

Tima isa upa.

That scared me and I'm sat behind my computer!

Chad Reed. Fitting the Aussie "tough guy" stereotype to its fullest.

 

[Vegard]

"How did they walk away from that?"

 

[Spacegoat]

Not sure if this has been posted before. Apologies if it has been.

I love those drag car slow mos. The way tyre creases is amazing

 

[DK]

Bloody hell...if he was 10-20cm to the right that tyre could have whacked him in the head!

 

[ZEROX]

Anybody has a video of this? It looks REAL nasty here:

Drivers are okay but the guardrail and the grass don't I'm afraid.

Ouch!! Could've hit the marshall there!!

 

[Bo]

Ouchh.. I went back to the previous page and it was there. Sorry guys

 

[GTDriver1230]

Anyone posted this yet?

 

[tomhart9]

Wow, thats some really brave overtaking on the run up to the first corner

 

[daan]

That was an epic start!

It's interesting that Alex's page on the Blancpain official site states...

Known for his rocket-like race starts, Alex has been a key member of the GT Academy team since Day One. He provides the graduates with invaluable guidance thanks to his extensive racing experience. Often the first – and most important – team-mate to the winners of GT Academy.

Somewhere this is on film

Again, no one seriously hurt. In fact I just saw on of them on video not too long ago. Collided mid air.
