Pugeot Wreck

Kind of reminds me of that one year when two cars went airborne down this one hill...I think both of those were Mercedes powered ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_CLR )

After watching the Peugeot wreck, the man was lucky despite the safety equipment, etc.

I saw these cars in person at the 12hrs of sebring and they're amazing. The R10s are so quiet that if you didnt see them coming you wouldnt know they were there, especially after hearing the porsches scream by.

If by "lucky" you mean relatively uninjured, then he was lucky BECAUSE of the safety equipment.

English FTW.


Damn, I'm hoping Mazda will do well but I don't see them in the top5 for P2 Quali.
