Sainz totals Focus on first test day
Carlos Sainz and Luis Moya emerged unscathed after striking a moose on a test stage. The crash destroyed the front end of the Focus and bent the upper roll cage.
Glad to hear they got away okay. |

As for Sainz, he was doing ca 150km/h (about 95mph) when he struck the Elk, and they are lucky they were able to walk away from that one considering those animals are bad-a** when fully grown (usually few people each year are killed in collisions with Elks here in Sweden). Perhaps it wasn't a fully grown one that Sainz' hit though - haven't read any details on the size of it - but nevertheless it was good to hear that both Sainz and Moya walked away from it. |
