Why would anyone be racing in fog? That's just down right stupid. Did the other racer live?

There is no way that other guy lived...not with the color of that smoke coming off it...totally fried, no chance. Hopefully the impact was enough, because burning would be horrible. What race was that, and what site did you get that from? I wanna send that link to my dad.

Yeah that didn't look good. Looked like a Le Mans series race or GT series race. Over in Europe they race in everything. Although it was weird that the car just kept going. I can't believe they both ignited like that on impact fuel cell must have ruptured and spark hit it. That's terrible hate to see racers wreck or go down.

That looks like the JGTC. Saw a yellow Mazda RX7 slow down and almost stop by the car on fire. Yeah, what the hell...if that race was here there would have been people there with fire extinguishers almost immediately.

Thanks for the link Spidey....
and I don't think that race being here would have changed a thing. The Europeans are VERY big on racing, and do have some very stringent safety regulations. They are probably more used to crashes than us Americans are here. Seriously, the only big US things are drag racing, some Indy car, and Nascar. The Europeans have Rally car, much more Kart, endurance races, GT series...they have it all over there.
