Explosive Racing Crash in Japan

submitted by jimnms

1 decade 7 years 9 months ago

Japanese racing star Ota Tetsuya was involved in a chain reaction collision during a GT championship race. Ota was trapped in his car for more than 60 seconds while exposed to 800-degree temperatures. There was no safety crew coming to the rescue as fellow drivers frantically extinguished the flames. The result ended with serious burns to Ota and a lawsuit against track promoters and sponsors.

The crash occurred during a warm-up lap before the official start of the race when the pace car unexpectedly slowed down.
