Rally paladio was marked by the huge accident of halivelakis...he hit a concrete fence and the car was totaled....the engine flew 50 meters away...luckily halivelakis and his co-driver sustained only some minor fractures. The accident happened 200 meters from my spot so i have pics of its aftermath.
the place where this happened is on the 31 on the 1.45-1.46 mark... (video is from last year)
So i only attended 1 special stage and the cancelled one...
I am sure there is going to be a video of the crash since the accident happened on a very popular place, which i attended on the second pass through the stage.
The unfortunate thing is that the rally had many retirements from the top crews..Kaitatzis was the winner after driving a fantastic event.
Pictures tomorrow since i am still in the Dog city of athens.
i was 3 corners away from accident .Very dangerous,but fortunately all good for the crew.Quote:

The most worrying feeling was that - for 2-3 minutes - none of them was moving or showing any signs of life ...Quote:

The pictures are horrifying, but they are not going to be published.
As always in fast bends or jumps, if a driver loses control at high speed (at least 150 km/h in this case ) it travels a long distance before exiting the road and ends up in areas that the marshals consider safe. Thankfully only 2-3 people were standing close to the area that the engine landed

I was in the place of the accident. Really horrifying... Fortunately, the crew is not toooo serious injured compared to their heavy crash.Quote:
