Rare non-election post: HORRIFIC car accident (graphic videos!)

It's common for those cars to race in the rain or on wet tracks.

I can already guess what happened.. Racing suits are only good for a few seconds in direct fire.. that and nothing protects your face even with a full face helmet. That guy was already in the car far too long to get out with out major major burns.

Top that with the smoke he had to have inhaled I can't imagine he made it out ok. This is why I'm aginst groups like SCCA that limit the amount you can do to a car just to keep costs down.

looks like something happened at the back of the car and everyone ran over, wish there was sound that may explain...

but man thank god for talented engineers and advancements in safety equipment, even 10 years ago no one would have walked away from a crash like that...

FF

Any body know what the extent of the injuries was to the guy in the ferrari?

WTF? Do they have medical people at these races?

That guy in the burning car looks like he got dragged out and then just left there.

Hello? Medical attention please!

i've seen tons of vids like that on line but not that one ...i can't get over how poor the emergency team reacted.

:feels-hot

I've seen the first video in the last week, but the second video has me spooked, now I really want to know what happened to the Ferrari driver.

wow...that has a hellascious crash

"A racing car driver whose career ended with a sickening crash five years ago Wednesday was awarded 90 million yen compensation after the Tokyo District Court ruled race organizers were to blame for his crippling accident.

"I still love car racing," Ota said after the ruling.

Tetsuya Ota fell well short of getting the 300 million he had been asking from the five organizers and the marshal of the 1998 race where he suffered severe burns that ruined his driving career, but received the vindication he had been looking for.

"The crash was caused when the flag car suddenly slowed down," Presiding Judge Tsuyoshi Ono said. "Firefighting and rescue preparations were also not up to scratch."

Ota was delighted with the court win. "I would like to thank everybody who has supported me along the way," the 43-year-old once referred to as Japan's best Ferrari handler said in the wake of the ruling.

Those ordered to pay Ota include Fuji Speedway in Shizuoka Prefecture, where the horrifying crash occurred, and TV Tokyo, which broadcast the race.

None of the defendants have stated whether they will appeal against the ruling, including TV Tokyo, which spent the entirety of the court battle arguing that it could not be regarded as one of the race organizers.

Court records said Ota's terrifying crash occurred during a warm-up lap before the official start of the race in May 1998. Ota's car burst into flames after slamming into another vehicle that had already stopped because of a different accident.

Ota was stuck in the fireball for almost 90 seconds before rescuers finally dragged him out. He sustained burns across his body and is still unable to move his right arm, right shoulder and fingers properly.

Judges ruled the flag car should have been traveling at about 60 kilometers per hour instead of the 150 kilometers it was doing, and caused the accident by slowing too quickly. Ota was forced to unexpectedly drop his pace and, as a result, he lost control and smash into the stationary vehicle.

They also decided that Ota was left in his flaming vehicle for too long and organizers had neglected their responsibility to get him out of the burning car within 30 seconds of the blaze erupting.

A pre-race agreement between Ota and the organizers not to pursue legal action in the event of an accident was also dismissed as unacceptable.

"A letter that tries to eliminate one party from taking any responsibility for major accidents caused by gross negligence is incorrect, unfair and not void in this court," presiding judge Ono said.

TV Tokyo's attempt to avoid being regarded as one of the race organizers was dismissed by the court, which ruled it was involved in sufficient decisions made about the race to be viewed as one of the organizations directly concerned with running it.

Ota made his debut in 1982, racing in the Formula 3000 series before switching to GT car races in which he competed in four straight Le Mans 24-hour races. (Mainichi Shimbun, Japan, Oct. 29, 2003)"

The driver of the Porsche got away with a fractured right leg.

Looks like a JGTC race. those are coming to the US soon.

the first one is'nt working. second one is s c a r y

Ok now. even seat belts can help in the one.
