Porsche Crash

This is taken at I believe Suzuka racetrack in Japan. The Porsche looks to loose control and rear-ends a M3 GTR(??) and proceeds to loose control and slam the wall. After the fact what appears to be a Ferrari looses control and slams the disabled Porsche on the side of the track, causing both to erupt into flames (the Ferrari considerably worst). Below is the statement I don't quite understand:

"You have got to see this crash. It is the most incredible 2 car crash I have ever seen and at the end the guy walks away from his car." I count at least 3….

Sure the driver of the Porsche gets out but there is not mention of the Ferrari driver, which in my book looks to have been the one is the worst shape. The Ferrari is completely engulfed in flames and there is no sign of life. It never shows him/her getting out…

Very bad crash

Hope he is OK....

Don't be, what I meant was the quote made on the site does not quite fit with the severity of the accident. He/She sums it up as if at the end of it all everything turned out fine, which doesn’t quite fit the actual facts...

Just seemed odd to me...

I saw that a long time ago. I saw more of the video than they have there, and it took like 2 minutes for the saftey crew to even GET to the ferrari. I thik they changed a lot of regulations because of this accident, the ferrari driver was covered in burns and had a broken rib or something, but otherwise he was okay.

I'm with you, I hope he's okay.
This accident happened in 98 at suzuka Japan. The guy in the Ferrari (TETSUYA OTA) had serious burns and some broken ribs lose his nose and took a few reconstruction serguries. but guess what he is been racing on F3s in the last 2 years [read]
