How he survived that is nothing short of a miracle..
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.
 
Imagine how disorientated you'd be after that, it was vicious.
 
I know he wasn't really pushing the limits, but that guy is really stupid not to be wearing a helmet.
 
That really shows how ferocious the impact was.:scared: Testament to how the COTF cars are designed and built that Courtney was able to walk away from it. If this had happened even last year, I doubt he would have.
 
Wow.... It did not see that bad in the first video.... :bowdown: To the people who pushed years ago for better safety in Motorsport. The amount of lives saved because of them.
 
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.”
 
Small car - big crash. Look at how close his helmet is to the ground. Apparently it received minor scratches only.
