F*** that looks truly horrible. Brings back memories of the terrible injuries suffered on a much more regular basis in those days. Anybody remember this bloke? http://www.asag.sk/bio/purley.htm |

Yep, Purley and his LEC, remember them well. A very brave man, maybe in the end if you knock on the door of heaven enough times it will open.
The driver in Paddys link, did survive with horrific scars and went on to sue the the racetrack i think.
There are plenty of images like that on you tube. The one of Lorenzo Bandini and his ferrari is very hard to watch.

This somthing I have never heard of, a race in 1971 between the US F5000 cars and the GP cars of the day.
Yes it certainly happened - if I remember rightly at Brands Hatch. MG Mark |

That was an anything goes race, F1 F5000 F2 and sportscars, David Piper entered his 917 etc. The race was won by Fittipaldi driving a JPS Lotus. That must of gone down well at Pall Mall, Rothmans paying £50,000 to John Player! Two drivers, maybe better know in sportscars came in 2nd and 3rd, Redman in a McLaren and that legand Henri Pescarolo driving a Frank Wlliams run March The race in the clip takes place in either the US or canada and looks to be a much bigger event with entrys from Ferrari etc. |

Hi guys, gone for a few days and just peeked in. Nordic the 1971 F1 vs F5000 race was the one off Questor GP at the long gone Ontario Motor Speedway in California. It was a big money event which drew all the F1 teams from Europe except Surtees. Mark Donohue led for much of the race in a F5000 Lola but retired and the race was eventually won by Mario in a Ferrari, with JYS and his Tyrrell second. There is a very nice film of this race that Speedchannel used to air as part of their "Glory Days" series, before Speed become the Good Old Boy network.
