Cooper Challenge crashes into spectators in Queensland
 

Apparently no-one was hurt!

fucking hell :ohmy:

Where is the tyre barrier wall??

that gravel trap does nothing to slow down a rolling car!

Which is why there should always be a solid barrier between the runoff and the spectators - especially at the end of a high speed section of any type.

Piss poor track design.

How the heck was no one hurt?
I think this is a perfect example of why you should plan for the worst.

The rolling make it "jump" over the tire barrier.

The tyre barrier was not even as tall as a mini cooper.. that is too low.

No matter how many times I see it, I can't figure it out either.

I agree with RC45, poor safety design for this track :thumbdown:

There was actually another crash there the following day, but the car simply skidded onto the tyres so nothing dramatic happened. I suppose the track management felt that the low barrier was enough to cover all eventualities. Clearly nothing like this had ever happened before.

"nothing like this had ever happened before [at that facility]." ;)
