This week end , during the "Rally of Paris" a porsche gt3 crashed causing the death of the two persons aboard, a 35yo couple. The car was on a road between two chono stages, excessive speed is obviously the cause of the crash...

RIP

edit: just realized I posted it in the wrong forum, maybe the shock of the video

 

R.i.p.

 

Very, very sad. RIP indeed.

 

that sucks... rip =(

 

omg! the engine got separated from the car?!?! wth

 

i don't speak french.. but can somebody tell me what the guy is saying and how they explain the fact that the engine and tranny are along the side of the road and not in the car

 

this is speed on public roads i know that everybody is speeding but i don't know maybe some people has luck others don't, too bad...

 

Video translation: "This is what's left of this Porsche with his engine 50 meters away. It is here on the department road 8 that the Porsche definitively stopped and also the life of the young couple age 35. Originally from Paris the couple was participating in a touristic rally towards the race track "circuit du Vigeant" located 10 km from the drama". The policeman are saying that the car hit a three because of a driving mistake or high speed. The car hit the three 2 meter from the ground and end up in the field. The gear box is far away and it shows how high was the impact. They suspect speed is the cause of the crash because the road was bumpy. Reposez en paix.....

 

They don't explain that. They just talk about how fast the car was going and that it lost control and crashed and the two people died.

Did you see how high up that tree the car hit and how hard? It ripped about 1/3 of the tree away! That takes some serious impact. There was damage to the road surface too where the car must have been flipping already before it even left the road surface, then it hit that tree and totally got ripped apart.

 

The last shot of the road show it really oscillates ahead of the crash - if you were going fast enough it looks like you could be airbourne and maybe they lost control when they hit the ground, rolled it etc. RIP. A stark lesson for us all to drive at a safe speed for the road conditions and read the road ahead.

 

A deer could have run out on this country road and caused the driver to lose control. Who knows. RIP.

 

RIP.. Sucks.

Is there any point in driving at Mach 1 speed on a road like that?? I'll never understand I guess. Take it to the track I say so you don't kill some poor family heading the the grocery store.

 

RIP. Very tragic.

Does it look like a slick tire or is it the resolution of the video?
