Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Worst GT racing crash (wet) I've seen in awhile

[Dennis Liu (BigHeadDennis]

Somewhere in Europe, it appears within the last couple of years, from the
cars involved.  I wouldn't worry too much about the doors - they're probably
lightweight fiberglass or CF panels.  The real protection is in the roll
cage.  I think they worry less about flying debris than a solid side punch
from another car or stationary object, though a wheel bouncing through the
side opening would surely suck.

Wow! Amazing how many of the doors were just ripped off completely exposing
the drivers to fly debris...Where did this take place and when?

Luckily, no one appears to be seriously hurt.  Especially that very lucky
track worker.  A heckuva video.  Ferraris, Vipers, Saleens, Porsches,
Listers, can't even identify some of the victims.
