DTM Alex Premat HUGE crash

[Vagabond142]

It's not so bad at first then OSHIT



Just goes to show how much the safety tech has advanced that he walked away without a scratch.

Good view of it in replay at 2:44

Not really. The best way to crash is where you don't hit anything and roll to disperse energy. I can't tell if he hits the wall or not, but that is the scariest part of the crash. That roll

If you've ever rolled a car with a cage before, you'd understand!

^^^^ I was referring more to the energy dispersion + restraints/HANS device. Thankfully i have never rolled anything more powerful than a 1 hp go kart when I was like 8 XD

Good to see he walked away, love the wicked witch of the west corn brooms that they use to sweep up the debris. Much better than that crappy one Race City always lends out.

Did you see the dude in the corner just behind where the car rolled? He probably shat his pants!

Well, they can't exactly provide loungers, could they? Then the marshals would be all "Crash? Meh, I'm comfy"

he certainly hit the wall. with the right front wheel. he was already spinning so he didn't hit hard.

their must have been some editing to time b/c he got outta that car freakin fast.

If I had just crashed a car that hard and there was even the possibility of the fuel cell rupturing, you bet your ass I would be out of that bitch as fast as physics allowed.

EDIT: Watch the vid 720P and fullscreen. Car comes to rest at 0:33 seconds. He's already out the window and getting ready to jump off at 0:42 seconds. He got out FAST.
