Nature of the sport sadly, shouldn't stop us racing or striving to improve safety. Even a decade ago this crash would have had more severe consequences, we should be grateful for those advances.Quote:

thankfully everyone walked away from it. but it was an almighty shunt
BTW, that audi is a thing of beauty
Trouble is that MotoGP goes there and tarmac runoff doesn't do much for bikes.Quote:

Not to sure a tarmac run off would have done any good, that car was trying to get airbourn.
Im not a fan of that ugly shark fin, but i belive it did its job. If that car had got airbourn, like Stefan Ortelle at Monza, then we would of been looking at injuries or worse in the spectators.
Fair play to the strength of the car. One lucky Scots man.
Christ almighty, there could have been several fatalities there. Enormous.
Seems like the Peugeots are a bit less fuel-thirsty than the Audis. Should be an interesting show-down between the two makes (with me keeping my fingers crossed for a third Le Mans victory for Alex Wurz).
