Survival: Le Mans 2012 Crash

  • 12 years ago
This massive crash involving Anthony Davidson in his Toyota TS030 Hybrid happened in the fifth hour of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Davidson tried to lap the AF Corse Ferrari driven by Piergiuseppe Perazzini on the approach to Mulsanne Corner. The Italian apparently didn’t see him coming and just shut the door on the Toyota driver. The Ferrari collided with the Toyota, which flipped through the air before crashing into the barrier. The Ferrari also flipped on its roof after hitting the barrier.

Both drivers suffered only minor injuries, which speaks volumes about the effectiveness of modern safety equipment.
