Could have been so much worse. Hope everyone recovers as much as possible. [/quote] It seems like she was spun around further up the track at over 250kph, when going backwards like that the rear wing creates lift instead of downforce, so the brakes would do nothing. Finally just before the barrier she tapped the yellow car which launched her into the air... One of the craziest crashed ive seen in my 30 years watching racing... [/quote]

I should start by saying luckily no one died, but the driver, 17 year old Sophia Florsch is undergoing surgery for a fractured spine. One photographer had fractured facial bones and lacerations, and another had a liver laceration.
Im a huuuge race fan, and have almost never seen a crash this scary! This is the danger of a "street course" as event staff and spectators are literally inches away from the track. This is of course a freak accident but damn, pretty intense. My prayers go out to the drivers and photographers. And please dont make "girl" driver comments, we need more women in Motorsports.
