The filename of the photo includes F3000, so it could just be that it's not F1 Could be in the F3000 section of BOSS though I guess...

It happened a few years ago down at the Old Hairpin at Donington - It was during a practice session for a British F3000 round - I think the driven may have been Jason Elliot.
He lost it under braking into the Hairpin (probably 'coz he was looking at another car being snatched from the gravel trap), spun across the grass on the apex of the corner, back across the track on the exit of the corner, hitting the kerbing which launched the car backwards up and over the gravel trap. The car bounced about once in the gravel, before hitting the base of the tyre wall, still travelling at a fair speed backwards. The car pivoted vertically about its back end so that the nose caught between the top wires of the debris fencing and then the back end lifted off the ground and flipped up and over the debris fencing, completing a half roll to end up as you can see. The driver climbed out completly unharmed, only to just miss being hit by the track camera falling off the large post in the background - the camera was still working however, although race control could only see the ground swinging gently backwards and forwards Its quite a coincidence to see the picture, as I was reminded of this incident just a few weeks ago after seeing Patrick Carpentiers's accident at Laguna Seca, which was very similar. |
