Crossle Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Lotta aero working there......not engineered to go backwards on the fastest parts of the track. Glad it wasn't worse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murse Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 I thought it was the Toyota prototype driver that broke his back. T11 and t12 if my memory serves me right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I thought it was the Toyota prototype driver that broke his back. T11 and t12 if my memory serves me right Davidson IIRC. Cracked two vertebrae. I'm surprised the Ferrari driver didn't get hurt, that's an odd angle of impact for most safety stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 It was the Toyota guy that broke his back. The Ferrari was being driven by a 59 year old rookie driver. If I were to guess, the team owner. Often in long endurance races, private owners will take a short first stint in the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendanB Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 2 years in a row with GTE-AM Ferrari's taking out the quicker LM-P1 cars, definitely must not have great visibility out of the 458's. For LeMans though, I think GTE-AM shouldn't be allowed to run; it's far too challenging of an overall race, and it's a fairly difficult track. For having 1 year or less of experience, it seems odd that they can run in the most prestigious/challenging race of the year, but then again it's the ACO's choice.

Draco-REX Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I wish the Deltawing had made it to the end. I'm not a fan of the car, but I would have liked to see how it placed and either succeed or fail on it's own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
