FIA World Touring Car Championship at Vila Real: crash
The car doesn't break and goes straight off the escape zone. It misses the hard wall, continues going straight and crashes into a fire van.
But the Vila Real track is worse. Not just that the escape zone wasn't fully surrounded by walls. It's a FIA World Championship! They should set the example, and that corner is less safe than any at my local Piriápolis street circuit.
Those crashes weren't deadly by miracle. Safety standards were blatantly ignored. |
The FIA is investigating, saying that the circuit was not in the spec on the circuit license but after the incident all was put right.
