sorry, you're right. In Dutch it is just 1 word for both.

haven't seen something do that many barrel rolls since Neymar in the World Cup.


the driver compartment looks relatively intact, so hopefully the driver was ok. wish the video didn't cut off when it did, so we can see if he climbed out or whatever.

Driver was transported to the hospital. Apparantly nothing broken but bruised, so really lucky (and of course a good safety cell design in that car).
Needs to stay for 1,5 weeks from what I read for observation.
It was an american driver btw.

The American John Shoffner is doing well according to the circumstances. He was conscious after the accident and was transported to a hospital in Koblenz. There, he was treated according to his team overnight in the intensive care unit.

Wow. Looking at the way that spun I would've thought that was incompatible with life.

Amazing.

That's why you need a roll cage. I'm sure the racing seat and harness helped too.


big one.
