This is a video account of race car driver Joey Hand’s BMW crash - his Matt Connolly Motorsports BMW M3 gets nudged off the track by a Pontiac GTO.R, and somehow ends up getting launched into the air by an elevated piece of land - he then spins around for 8 times before landing on the other end of the track. Click here for the driver’s account. Tip thanks to Shaolin Tiger. Video after the jump.

That’s the most spectacular race crash I’ve seen. At the 6th spin, the car sommersaulted airborne; vertically more than 360 degrees. The fact that the driver escaped serious injury is a miracle itself. The M3 is a total wreck.

That is a spectacular crash! The video just goes to show how safe the car is; all those crashes and the passenger compartment is still ok; only the front and rear end are damaged, lucky he’s alright!

it’s a race car with roll cage and eveyrthing

The most dangerous part of a touring car that can kill you is the side. Nissan BTCC driver Keith O’dor was killed tragically from a side impact and one Aussie V8 driver has already been killed this year.
That’s why FIA has redesigned the position of the ‘X’ shaped roll cage on the door to be lower than your waist so that it doesn’t protrude into the cabin and smash your body.
This information should be useful to those boyracers who race on the road and think that they are invincible…

Stupid circuit, how can you have a ‘bump’ beside a race track. No safety in mind.

Hmmm..VW Malaysia will meet the same fate as the rest of its cousins..Skoda, Fiat, Alfa and Ford…To survive in malaysia, the price has to be realistic. Honda and Toyota should be VW’s closest rivals..
