just incase you think motorsport is dull. watch this from an irl race in texas 3 years ago. the driver in question is swedens kenny brack. he is back this year in training for a serious testing role with a top irl team. the man should not have survived this horrible accident.....

and of course the hero, alex zanardi of italy. racing in the champ car series in germany in sept 2001. this accident should have killed him but instead he lost his legs pretty much instantly. he is now back bigtime and is a favourite to clinch the world touring car championship for bmw in 2007 .this man is a legend even if his f1 credentials domt show that fact!

i posted these primarily to show the sheer brutality if something goes wrong, these guys were badly badly hurt but thankfully injuries are rare. i thnk its ok to watch these as the guys in question are fully recovered but i draw the line in posting crashes where people died. th most horriffic thing i saw live was the death of greg moore of canada during the final race of th 1999 champ car (CART) season in california. its on youtube, search it if u want but i dontfeel right posting it here..................
