Well, the car did what it was designed to do. Everything else flew off (Wheels, engine, bodywork) leaving the driver in the rollcage safe. Of course, it doesn't account for the G-Force he would have had in such a crash.How he survived that is nothing short of a miracle..
Nasty driver's side impact in today's V8 Supercar race:
What caused Premat to go off the track?
Alex Premat, Fujitsu Racing GRM
"In the race it was a pretty good start of the race. When Scott had his puncture on the front right, the team called me and said be careful of the tyres, which was what I was doing. During the safety car I talked to the guys on the radio and said I had a bit of vibration on the front tyres. They said be careful on the kerbs, so I was trying to avoid all the kerbs. Just after the restart at turn 1-2 the cars was pretty good, I didn’t find anything but going through turn three the tyre just went away, I couldn’t turn – I got a puncture in the front right an couldn’t turn.
"I’m happy both drivers got out without injuries because the hit was really bad.”
