Glad to see they walked away ok. I get it, some cautions take a lot of time, nothing you can do, but that "race" was the most pathetic one I've ever seen. Two or three minutes of racing, literally that's it.
But again, at least they're ok, so that's a positive. Could have been a a lot worse.

That was some impressive driving avoiding traffic and getting the most surface area into that tire wall. Doubt it could of gone much smoother in that situation.

The safety equipment in road racing cars and on the drivers are life savers. I crashed my mustang at Mid Ohio in 2018 running with NASA. Hit a wet spot (oil we think) coming out of T12 and was sent into a guard rail. First hit was R front and it snapped the R rear into the rail as well. My safety equipment did its job, I walked away. When we built the car, safety was #1 priority. The cars in IMSA, WCC etc., are setup many times better than mine was so it's no surprise drivers can walk away after a bag crash/impact. Impacts like that, frontal & side, Dr's, tell you, you may look ok on the outside of your body, but the inside is what gets rattled up, internal organs being slammed in one direction then the other. Once the adrenaline dies off, you begin to feel the impact.

This was literally the first race I have sat down to watch in my entire life and they couldn't complete a full lap under green flag without a crash. Made me wonder if they are normally like this lol. Glad the drivers are ok though.
