Am not a fan of Crash videos but can't deny that they are compelling...(the driver walked away)

It's not too bad. At least there was no sudden impact. You can really see the roll cage doing its job. The car hardly deforms at all. It was probably similar to a scary fair ground ride. But with more bruises. ------------- 1995 e36 3.0 M3 Coupe, Daytona Violet, AP Racing BBK, CCFL Angel Eyes, M3 Spoiler, M-Tec 3 Steering Wheel. 2000 530d Steptronic, Poverty Spec, 18" Alloys. |

You have to have sympathy for the blokes who had to fix it, as the title suggests - the drivers just walk away... ------------- jamie jamie@carlin.co.uk www.carlin.co.uk 89 Europameister 78 911 SC 93 MK1 MX-5 98 Ford Focus |

Robmw: in fairness it was nothing to do with it being a bmw... it was 99% to do with the roll-cage design and fabrication. Also he says the hans device saved him for the 2nd time - 865 dollars for the cheapest one! money well spent if you race IMO.
