Le Mans Testing - Pug 908 Crash

[Housey]

Just released from the CCTV at the track. Mr Gene was VERY lucky not to end up behind the armco!

These things are very scary when they take off!

 

[fRostiE]

ouch, what caused it? blowout? driver error? water on track?

 

[Dangerous]

Oh My!!!

 

[Jonny69]

Nice crash.

Nothing mechanical AFAIK, just damp conditions and lost it. He suffered a fractured toe

We have some good single syllable swear words to use in situations like that. How the hell do the French get time to shout SACRE BLEU!!! just before they crash?

Ouch that's a biggie! Chassis's a write off apparantly which, under the wacky ACO rules, means that Peugeot will have to get a dispensation to bring a different car for qualifying in 10 days time. Gene is expected to be fit to race though.

That is a big crash, still nowhere near as bad as dumbrecks back in 1999.

just watched this.

Didn't they have HANS devices then?

Just did a Wiki and it seem they weren't mandatory in F1 till 2001. Seems incredible just how dangerous it was only 10 years ago!

Piece of useless trivia - Peter Dumbreck was actually breathalysed after his 99 flip! The Mulsanne is still classed as a public road even during the race so the poor guy's sat there still trying to work out what happened when a jobsworth gendarme whacks a breath tester in his gob. Charming!

Group C Le mans cars rule. There the nicest shaped cars ever.

Fixed
