ahhhh.....what happened? It's like he didn't turn or brake or anything.

Is that the one that understeered straight into a cliff?

Edit: yes it is.. he was going way too fast

That is one brutal car, sad and epic way to go out. Better than dying of cancer or something nasty in a bed.

It's sad. The reports say that he confused this turn with another similar one and came in on 5th gear instead of 3rd with no signs of slowing down from what the logs say. The impact was so severe that it tore his 5 point. 200k to 0 in a few meters.

He had a cardiac arrest when the chopper landed at the hospital.

RIP Georg

[Brezzi]

holy shit. Thats one hell of a wreck. RIP

[evandael]

sad.

I noticed on the car along with other high end hill climb cars that the backsides of the wheel wells are open. This is obviously for aerodynamic reasons but can anyone give me specifics?

Rip.

I beleive its because the wells trap a tol of turbulent air. A lot if time you will see vents on the top of the well to pull air out. I imaging the hill climb cars can have the backside open because they dont race with other people on the track. If a car were to bump into the exposed tire in say, a grand am race, it would probably pick up the front end of the following car and cause a wreck

[IronFreak]

That makes sense. Thanks
