holy crap....terrible track wreck (grand am series)
might be a repost, but this is one of the more amazing wrecks i've seen, particularly in GT car racing. And the driver was apparently ok

yeah... you don't see crashes like this every day.

The guy probably got a brain concussion, but he'll live...

The Mid-Ohio track got blasted by the community afterwards for building those berms and configurations. They bulldozed them shortly after the crash investigations were completed. It's just another example why I won't track competitively yet...even HPDE.
