Mllcg 3rd Gear December 2, 2013 Share December 2, 2013 These super cars are designed to be light weight and fast, so I wouldn't expect much protection from the car. F1 cars are even lighter and even faster. yet safety is still there ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nzy Twincharged December 3, 2013 Share December 3, 2013 F1 cars are even lighter and even faster. yet safety is still there I think if a F1 car crashes into a tree the driver will also die. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maseratigood 5th Gear December 3, 2013 Share December 3, 2013 nah...i dont think a roll cage is much help in this accident..its called a roll cage and not a crash cage for a reason. The pictures shows a side impact at the passenger side and witnesses said the car flew before impact. As many has said the Carrera GT was difficult to handle during corners due to the placement of the engine and most likely will understeer during high speed cornering...but that was its trademark (it was explained in Discovery Turbo about iconic cars). Thats how i got to know! Actually the violent high speeds multiple side wipes (similar to this case) those WRC cars sometimes go through are absorbed quite well by the cage they have and the drivers are saved from major injuries. The fire was maybe too instant, even onboard auto extinguishers cant do much to protect the persons in the car even if they had worn fire-rate gears I like to watch Gal Gadot in F&F movies....she acts as Gisele in the movie.. Got pics? Car vs Tree and tree always win .... Not only win one time, as it will be weakened sometimes, it is waiting for another car to pass by and collapses onto it!!

Trees that doesn't grows through ages with deep roots but instant one ... These instant trees actually will be safer if they were secured by cables to prevent them from toppling. Looking at all the old trees (some started their lives as instant trees) along our roads, trees/branch collapses are going to get worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only win one time, as it will be weakened sometimes, it is waiting for another car to pass by and collapses onto it!! maybe you are right maybe i am wrong.....but a roll cage will be more dangerous in this kind of hard impact accident. Thats why roll cages are not allowed for rd cars..... These instant trees actually will be safer if they were secured by cables to prevent them from toppling. Looking at all the old trees (some started their lives as instant trees) along our roads, trees/branch collapses are going to get worse. you should see those in Bticklands Rd.....nb....the oni thing thats keeping some of them standing are a few sticks of wood!

Most sport cars bodies are made of fibre glass except the chassis. A metal body car can wrap round a tree couldn't imagine a fibre glass body ..
