    Slightly O/T; new safety vehicle tested

    Trials are under way for the latest safety and recovery vehicles in Florida, if successful we may see them implemented at Rockingham in 2008.

    It is quite bad to look at, but I wonder what some of our crashes would be like if we had steel panels instead of fibreglass....

    I spoke to the guy driving that a couple of years ago, absolutely bonkers!

    Nice idea, but I don't think it carries enough kit for our needs.

    I couldn't believe it, that's probably by far the biggest crash that poor guy's ever had and the first vehicle on the scene is a rail buggy. What practical use did it actually have?

    He very nearly becomes part of the accident. I wouldn't want to be sitting in that with even that small piece of debris coming at me.
    The reality check is in the mail

    Woah, I couldn't believe that, I just watched again and saw the debris, you can't see exactly where it lands either.
