trouser chili posted:The driver died as well as the track worker. The car was basically unharmed, but the fire extinguisher the track worker was carrying bonked the driver on the head, and by bonked I mean it basically caved it in. It was Tom Pryce at the Kyalami circuit in South Africa in 1977 if anybody was wondering

I always thought "maybe" was used with changing conditions, i.e. "slippy maybe" == when we made these notes this area didn't have the best traction, but it might be better now! But we should probably wait for someone like Kaptainballistik or Cat Terrist to chime in

Just out of curiosity, and I realize there was almost zero time to make a decision, but how much would throwing it into 3rd and letting the engine blow up have done to slow down the car?

kimbo305 posted:given the huge delay between the spin and the hit, doesn't that mean the hitting driver wasn't observant enough of caution flags? The interview in the video has the other driver saying he was on a flying lap and that the flags were only visible 100m in front of the accident, and if that's true, it's conceivable that there really wasn't enough time to react or avoid. Every situation I've seen has flaggers two corners before the accident displaying a yellow, either standing or waved.

And I know I've seen similar videos labeled as "SR8 Hillclimbs" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr-vKlZNsDo, for instance. Everybody used to label that video as an Audi R8 (lol) but everything that I've read says that it's a Norma M20 with a BMW S54 3.2l inline-6, running a hillclimb somewhere in Spain. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dW9XcgGk2Y - Another Norma/BMW hillclimb video, it sounds exactly the same and the forward section of the cockpit looks very similar. fishmech_1.1_RC fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Feb 18, 2009 |

Krakkles posted:Ouch. Pace car probably should've NOT turned out like that but accelerated along the wall then pulled out. Leader probably should've, I dunno, braked? The organizers probably should have put pit-out somewhere other than the exit of a blind corner. The safety car driver probably also should have known to stay on the inside of said corner. Dunno if it could have accelerated, it is the reasonably priced car after all Pau and Monaco are both retarded, unsafe tracks that are only used because of tradition. At least Pau has passing (probably only because they race cars with enclosed bodywork there), can't say the same for Monaco where qualifying is the race and the feature on Sunday is a 100 minute parade of noisy cars.

Taaaaaaarb! posted:I do wonder what the guy used for an engine. According to the video info, it's a 2.1L turbo 4, but which one? I'm thinking a bored and/or stroked 3S-GTE or perhaps a ZZ of sorts It's called a 503E and used the 3S-GTE as a starting point but I'm sure it doesn't share a single part with the production engine. It was also used in Rod Millen's Pike's Peak Celica
