my dad was in this race. he's in the car that gets shoved into the wall and launched in the air at about 0:23 (John Pew). he was in the hospital for a day or so, but the guy his car landed on was in a wheel chair for quite some time because of it. my dad's moved onto American LeMans now though.
If you watched any of the Canadian Grand Prix weekend this year, you will have noticed that the tire wall on the outside of that turn was replaced by a steel barrier (I'm unsure whether it was a standard armco barrier or a SAFER barrier) on the track's edge, in order to prevent a car rebounding onto the track and sparking an accident such as this again.
wow, Ralph Sheheen and Johnny O'Connell are really good commentators. they definetly arent naive about the sport like some other racing commentators...
Good vid.. Awesome circuit. Commentators were the best and most down to earth I've ever heard, good on 'em. Our english ones ae bull-shit. Talk about anything but wha's happening..
montreal so harmless so brutal

Replace it with Tecpro barriers instead. Absorbs a lot of shock, yet the car won't bounce back.

@hjjubnh The tyrewall is better than armco if a car strikes it at high speed. Just see what happened to Robert Kubica.

They should remove that tyrewall there, armco would be much better

@hjjubnh Agree, this tirewall makes the car bouncing back on the track, it is very dangerous.

It's more of an F3-type series, although it is not branded as "Formula 3".
