Fifth Gear - 60mph Head On Crash

This was a world first - two family saloons controlled by remote control driven into each other with a closing speed of 120mph. Giving you the opportunity to see what you normally don't - the anatomy of a high speed collision.

@turin1 Interesting comment! The dry runs completed, the cameras set up accurately at the impact point with room to spare, then on the actual run one of the remote control guys decides not to accelerate so fast! Why? 'Cause he thought it would be better! Result - impact point 10m from all the dry runs and out of view of the fixed high speed cameras. Doh!

Lots of cameras around and none got a decent shot.

Come on guys, time to TOP your GEAR.
