Do we know what happened? It looks like he made no attempt to even turn, so was it a broken tie rod or something like that?

10 July 2011 20:02 The death of Georg Plasa to 50. edition of the hill climb-Rieti Terminillo for the moment remains a mystery. The German driver of 51 years, a native of Warngau, was one of the conductors experts participating in the European Hill Climb Championship: crashed at the wheel of BMW 134 V8 Judd near the station number 35, in the second part of the track after 4 . bend, when they were just uncheck the 14.23. The dramatic impact against the mountain took place at high speed right from the driver's side and the nice German conductor conditions are immediately seemed very serious, to the point that the organizers immediately arranged transport by ambulance to the Gemelli hospital in Rome. Physicians Capital have not yet issued a bulletin on the causes of death, but who assitito the poor Georg in first aid comes to multi-trauma that involved different parts of the body. The machine has been placed seizure and opened an investigation by the judiciary. Alberto Riva , race director Cup Carotti, fails to give an explanation of the incident: "Just before the point of impact - told Omnicorse.it - There are signs of a very short braking. would think that has confused two curves are very similar, but I am surprised that a conductor of his experience has made a mistake so gross. " We're not talking about a pilot on Sunday, but a very professional and appreciated the time trials with an indisputable expert in the international arena. Georg, in fact, had entered the Cup Carotti because in addition to love Italy, he wanted to be a player with the BMW 134 - Judd V8 race that was valid as the seventh round of the CIVM and eighth round of the European Championship. "rule out the error driving - reveals Fausto Bormolini , the champion of Reynard K02 he knew very well Georg - Monday carried out tests of the track very accurate. Where is off the road is not the point where you make a mistake so gross. There are only two possibilities : an illness or mechanical failure. Rear suspension or steering box. " Bormolini is broken because it has lost a dear friend: "They may look the words of the condition, but Plasa was a serious professional who did want very well. had learned the 'Italian and we spoke only in our language. has spent the last two years to develop with the BMW V8 Judd and had made up his mind to achieve important results. " Georg Yet there is more ... " It 'terrible, but the truth will surely surface: who perizierà the machine can determine whether there was a mechanical failure and the camera-car that was mounted on the car, if it is not destroyed on impact, it may be useful to shed light on this terrible accident. Reynard Me with arrival at that point to 235 km / h and Georg was not progressing much slower on the straights. Later there is a curve that is being discussed and decided after having climbed a detached two gears. I do not think that the idea may have made a mistake ... ". too Simone Faggioli the champion Tuscan dell'Osella which is the most successful active driver, was in Rieti and was among the drivers who decided not to run, before the time trial was canceled. "I have repeatedly asked for information on the conditions of Georg - Simon says - but we were not told anything specific. When I saw that BMW was destroyed whisked away by a tow truck escorted by the police car, I realized that something very serious had happened and talking with colleagues we decided that there were no conditions for racing.'m heartbroken ... ". Bormolini excludes the mistake of driving and talking about a mechanical failure or illness ... "I met Georg Thursday while he was mountain biking in the woods. was a pilot prepared and well trained. I'd be amazed if he was ill. I could not really say what might have happened. At that point years ago had a Regosa bad crash and said it was because he was looking at the tachometer while it was already close to the curve. Plasa was a methodical, so I do not think one mistake of driving. I lost another friend, an opponent who admired ... ". Who will investigate will have good arguments to find a solution to this tragic yellow. A sample of the caliber of Plasa deserves for clarification ...

July 12, 2011 16:01 "A bullet in the full speed crashed into the mountain." Alfonso Treasurer shall be broken voice when he tells the dramatic accident Sunday claimed the lives of Georg Plasa, German 51-year old who was competing in the 50. edition of the Rieti-Terminillo, uphill race valid for the European Championship and the CIVM, with BMW 134 V8 Judd. Treasurer has long been the chief medical Cup Carotti: being the acclaimed director of 118 of Rieti is accustomed to seeing the effects of accidents impressive: "I saw the footage of the incident to Plasa - says Dr. Alfonso - and I can only say it was devastating. I've never seen anything like it. Georg arrived in the vicinity of the curve at high speed and just before impact with the mountain has attempted steering. A move that has been in vain, but the car so it did not go banging on the front, but had a major impact on the driver's side. " Treasurer of the team of the reanimation doctor who spoke immediately from the place 33 has presented a show raccappricciante. The poor Georg was unconscious and his condition immediately appeared prohibitive. "We have called for the immediate intervention of the helicopter - says Dr. Treasurer - in a few minutes landed next to Bmw demolished. The transfer of the unlucky German pilot was possible only after a few minutes, because it was necessary to stabilize it before you dispose of transport. Colleagues, in fact, they immediately intubated and resuscitated. " This situation, therefore, was desperate ... "Plasa had a cardiac arrest before landing at the Gemelli Polyclinic - adds Treasurer - and resuscitation to which it was subjected in Aid has not helped to save his life, because the patient was a multi-traumatized. " The court has ordered an autopsy, but it is easy to predict that the cause of death is precisely the cardiac arrest ... "The clinical picture was devastating head trauma, pneumo-thorax left and right, fracture of the left femur and tibia and fibula of both legs. Cardiac arrest, unfortunately, it is often the inevitable consequence of these serious injuries. " Although the security architecture of the BMW 134 V8 Judd had taken, Georg could hardly absorb the dramatic impact against the back of the mountain? "In ' impact are torn seat belts back, while the ventral held - continues Treasurer - Plasa went from over 200 Km / h to zero in a few meters, the deceleration was terrible ... ". remains the mystery about the cause of ' accident: the technicians who have seen pictures of the crash before the seizure of the tape prepared by the judiciary, ensure that Plasa has climbed from fifth to third as we normally do all the drivers before facing the curve and even skid marks are minimal, certainly inadequate to the traveling speed at that point, which takes credit for the hypothesis that there has been a driving error. Pilots who knew German twist the mouth, Georg recognizing a great experience. It's up to the coroner to find an answer to this riddle ... photo: www.rietilife.it
