Oh blah blah. How many times do these things have to happen for people to realize that actually these cars are very safe? Gerhard Berger at Imola 1989, Alex Caffi Monaco 1991, Erik Comas Spa 1992, Mika Hakkinen Australia 1995, Mark Blundell CART crash 1996, Martin Brundle Australia 1996, Villenueve and Zonta Spa 1999, Kenny Brack CART 2003, Ralf Schumacher Indianapolis 2004, Robert Kubica 2007, etc. all of these crashes were "so lucky to survive" despite them happening so many times
@@jefftaylor1186 what tells you that haha. Berger was out for one GP. Caffi was uninjured. Comas was knocked out and saved by Ayrton Senna, but was fine by next round. Hakkinen was badly hurt, however the quick actions of the medical team did save his life and he had a full recovery in 4ish weeks. Blundell was sidelined for a couple weeks, full recovery made later. Brundle was completely unhurt, actually in such good condition that he ran back into the pits and jumped in the spare car while the crowd cheered him on. Villenueve and Zonta were both completely unhurt. Kenny Brack was actually hurt, spending 18 months recovering but not racing CART anymore after. Ralf Schumacher was sidelined for a couple races but made a full recovery. Kubica was only sidelined for one race and made a full recovery too. Out of all these huge crashes only 1 was unable to continue elite racing. 1 other driver did have some minor changes to his life. What are you talking about?
There are some comments here stating that Legge lost her entire rear wing before the crash, but it was actually just the wickerbill, which is the small lip along the back edge of the wing. Still, with as critical as downforce is to these cars, once it was gone, the result was inevitable. She's an excellent driver and it was good to see her walk away from that crash.
Today I've learned a new word! Wickerbill. :) In F1 it's called a Gurney flap, named after the (ironically?) American driver who came up with it - Dan Gurney.
I was under the impression it was an end fence. I watched it happen. Car snapped around as fast as I’ve ever seen one let go. Had tears in my eyes with fear and then tears of joy when she stepped out of the medical trailer and asked if her back up car was ready. God bless her. Talented driver
"He won the rookie of the year at the first attempt". I remember seeing the live coverage but was worried for Katherine. Now hearing it again, i can enjoy that statement. Hope everyone is well and good and staying safe.
I was at the track that day. When they brought the car back to the pits on a flat bed they used snow shovels to scrap all the pits and pieces off the truck. There was literally nothing left to it.
This crash proved that Katherine had what it took to be a winner. Got out what was left of her car and was ready to go back racing. Shame she never got a good ride in a open wheel car or at Indy.
People who say that she crashed like that because she's female need to GTFO. This crash reminds me of Greg Moore's fatal crash at Fontana. Granted there's a major speed difference, but the physical look of the car is almost the same and just as scary. Glad to hear she's okay.
Her rear wing fell off, there was nothing she or any other driver could have done about it. It was nothing to do with her driving skills, she was a passenger in that one. Plus, don't all male drivers also have spectacular crashes?
@@MrSirMrSirMr holy shit responding on an 11 year old comment legend. Ya it's more like 1 to zero ok Danica but she doesn't count. The fact is she was going 150+ into the kink and lost her wing nothing you can do about that.
Adam Nope there's never been a man that crashed in all of motor racing. When ever a man spins he flies up and flips back onto the wheels and keeps going, just like Grand Theft Auto five..
jcynavarro luckily she didn’t go cockpit first into a concrete barrier like Greg or into the catch fencing. Very lucky indeed thank goodness. Unlike poor old Greg rip.
That also came to my mind. But the main difference is that gregs Rollbar instantly collapsed on impact with the wall What left Gregs head neck and Arms totally Exposed and unprotected.
That Fontana, California speedway had the slippery grass infield that Greg Moore's car slid on. Should have been some gravel to slow the car down. Irresponsible to have that slippery grass surface there.

I can't believe she was actually in 6th place at the end of a race. Really competing. She was really good, or at least put together a very good drive up to that point. Lucky to survive that. Unfortunately she never got back to that form in good equipment.

Yeah but F1 are computers on wheels, atleast Champ car drivers know how to correct a car out of a corner. F1's too boring, almost no over taking moves, F1 needs push to pass like Champ car. And F1's way too political. A faster racing class isn't always better.
to all the misoginists out there, her wing broke going into the curve and the back stepped out and she was a helpless passenger. nothing to do with being male or female
Who the hell cares about what Sebatien Bourdais has achieved in his career when there has just been such a bad crash? Some times, these TV-people are just incredibly tasteless.
@@dronepro7316 I thought the bitch was dead for sure. Can you imagine the press with all the feminists and equal rights and shit. They'd be claiming that she died because she was a woman. Fancy that.
What were they supposed to say? The accident happened a minute or two earlier so they had no other info than that there was a crash. They aren't mind readers
Apparently they restarted this after a 42 minute stoppage. Since there were only three laps left, I can't see the reason why to be honest. If it was me I would have called a result, or not used the red flag and finished the race under Safety Car conditions
The survival cell was intact. The Lola was a great car. The Panoz was great, but honestly they didn't need it. They wasted the money on the Panoz and thats probably why CCWS folded.
yes, the lola was a great car. The DP-01 was better. It was made to take Champ Car to the next x years. The reason CCWS folded was sponsorship and the suits migrating to IMS. yes IMS, Cuz all the network suits know is Indy 500. If you don't travel on that gravey train, you don't travel son!!
There are just as many people who think the Panoz is hideous as there are who think the Dallara is hideous. EVERYONE has different tastes in car design and because of that, you will NEVER design a car that is "cool" enough to be the sole reason a fan was attracted to a series. I didn't prefer CCWS to IRL because they had the cooler car, I preferred CCWS because they had better racing. THAT'S what attracts most fans. Looks are secondary.
I never forgot this one and in fact I was just thinking about it the other day. I think a lot of drivers would call it quits after surviving one like that. Pretty sure she is still racing.
i was thinkin about it after the indy 500. it was fun to watch, but i'm not a big fan of oval racing. and i liked to see a sort of american f1 that champcar was..but the season is going well so far. i wonder what next year will be like with alms and grand-am series together
And here we are, 17 years later, heading into the 2023 Indy 500, and Kathrine Legge is still losing control of race cars and causing brutal violent race car crashes.
The safety engineering is as impressive as the speed nowadays. How people survive some of these crashes is astonishing. Granted there is always some luck involved but the protection the habitat provides is amazing
The built in safety is incredible. I had no knowledge of this incident and was sure she would have had broken bones and concussion, minimum. This crash looked horrific.
Kat is my all time favorite female driver, for this crash alone especially her interview afterwards. Kat blew it off like it's just another day at the office....what a CHAMP!!! She has more testicular fortitude than a lot of male drivers. Here..th-cam.com/video/8h2iqmliVMk/w-d-xo.html
Well atleast you see passing moves, and push to pass only gives them 3 or so pounds more boost. It still takes a lot of skill to use push to pass effectively. I don't think it was the best way to make passing moves more common but it works.
@@loriumartinez her accident was a snap. I thought her car broke lose and wasn't her fault. I could be wrong but thought a wing broke or something first and lost all traction.
From next year, no more winglets in F1.Aerodynamics will be reduced of at least 30% with return of slick tyres to try to have more mechanical and less plane car. Maybe overtaken will be more simple than now...I hope so. Now formula one dreams a spectacle like this.
Not 5 from 16. You forgot about the addition of Surfer's Paradise and Edmonton. 7 out of 18. And Tony George has indicated that by 2010 there'll probably be a 6-6-6(6 oval, 6 road, 6 street) schedule. And shut up about the Dallara already. I'll agree its ugly, but the look of a racecar is the POOREST reason to judge a series. A car must be designed to do its job within the technical specifications as best as possible. If it looks good on top of that, bonus.
er noobs.. I believe the Hans device was designed after big crashes in Nascar that started to Kill people left right and centre... it't now used in most kinds of motorsport these days! and Women can drive! they just can't park!!

u got it. thats absolutely true, there is no tension at all but we watch it cause there's no coverage of US series on european tv. i really hate modern f1, cars with all their wings producing nearly no slipstream, making it so hard to overtake. also most of the new tracks suck. but 20 years maby is a little to hard. f1 used to be allright until the end of the 90ies. it was great until the death of senna in 94, cause after that they put to much focus on safety and killed f1.
Ugh, I am SO sick of seeing that argument... Yes, the IRL Dallaras are ugly(especially next to the Panoz DP-01 and even the Panoz IRL Car), but the look of the cars is the STUPIDEST reason to judge a series(if it were valid, Daytona Prototypes would have KILLED Grand-Am). Everytime I hear someone make a big deal out of the IRL car's looks I wish I could make them the first person since Jansen Van Vuuren to be reduced to a cloud of pink mist by an open-wheel car.
it's impossible to compare a f1 to a champcar - because of completely different offical rules (weight, aerodynamics, technical helps, electronic, etc.)! so, please desist unrefined and abusive comments. a f1 AND champcar fan.
that crash made me sick... i couldn't watch the replays until i found out if she was alright. at the end of the day though, accidents happen. they improve safety. she was so lucky not to be killed let alone injured!
No, it's because he is driving for a second rate team with a manufacturer that is horrid at the present time. Ganassi hasn't done anything in NASCAR since 2002.
No the rear end will not 'overtake you' But the slightest imbalance or steering input will move the front of the car, and the rear won't follow the direction change as it should.
Just some JB Weld and that car would be good as new... Seriously, I still can't imagine how she walked away uninjured from that shunt. She had the hell of a luck out there...
hmm... yeah that probably also has something to do with it too... I've heard multiple different reasons why he was killed, but I'm sure they all had some factor in it =/
And this is why I won't race on courses like these. Even when there is no driver error (and drivers do make mistakes believe me) you are at the mercy of the idiot track designer who apparently thought that cars could somehow never lose control and run off the tarmac

For sure. Without seeing her actually walk away - I would have thought severe injuries to head/spine/extremeties at a minimum. Amazing.

Everytime I hear someone make a big deal out of the IRL car's looks I wish I could make them the first person since Jansen Van Vuuren to be reduced to a cloud of pink mist by an open-wheel car.
Why does one of the announcers sound like a highschool kid
Musicrecords10 I believe that was James Hinchcliffe, who was in Champ Car Atlantics at the time and he was 19 or 20 years old.
Thanks
Kink is Tamburello of Americas. Road America in F1 It would have unfortunately Bend chicane
well sort of, champ cars tend to do this much better than Indy Cars, or did seeing as that series is over now
Oy!! - ‘ow am I supposed to say this - BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY !! ‘Ow disgusting !!
Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Scotty, Bones, and Yeoman Smith beam down to the planet and pose as race car drivers...
it's impossible to compare a f1 to a champcar - because of completely different offical rules (weight, aerodynamics, technical helps, electronic, etc.)!
so, please desist unrefined and abusive comments.
a f1 AND champcar fan.
When they went to get her out, one of the guys said she's hot....little did they know he was talkin about the car.
Car literally in half and they are asking her to copy on the radio like that's still going to be working. Bruh
that crash made me sick...
i couldn't watch the replays until i found out if she was alright.
at the end of the day though, accidents happen. they improve safety.
she was so lucky not to be killed let alone injured!
Hello. Maybe TV people is trying to redirect attention to another direction, while wait news about accident... I don´t know. just maybe.
well, its all over. irl has absorbed champ car and now open wheel racing will be unified in America.
She's a badass.
She sure was!
greg moore nao teve a mesma sorte ...
Jhou 787 não mesmo
No, it's because he is driving for a second rate team with a manufacturer that is horrid at the present time. Ganassi hasn't done anything in NASCAR since 2002.
I used to go to Road America back in these days.. I believe I was there 2001-2005. I met Sebastein too
Very jealous!
I remember that race before with my dad house on living room
Why? A unified open wheel series as it is now is way better than the split.
never gave her a chance in that one, but luck prevailed, or someone, something..wow..glad she walked away. :-)
No the rear end will not 'overtake you'
But the slightest imbalance or steering input will move the front of the car, and the rear won't follow the direction change as it should.
... the rear end most definitely overtook Katherine, finished about 100' beyond her.
Just some JB Weld and that car would be good as new...
Seriously, I still can't imagine how she walked away uninjured from that shunt. She had the hell of a luck out there...
shit that was a very bad crash, luckily she wasnt hurt
I saw that race live, and i must say. I thought the worst about her when i saw all those depries.
Legge > Patrick
hmm... yeah that probably also has something to do with it too... I've heard multiple different reasons why he was killed, but I'm sure they all had some factor in it =/
She was running 6th at the time, one of her better efforts. Well, anyway, thanks to that idiot Tony George we'll never see this kind of racing again.
You would be surprised what ten years can change
except for sears point, but yea, it does suck
Oh My goodness me
wow!
I like all your comments
And this is why I won't race on courses like these. Even when there is no driver error (and drivers do make mistakes believe me) you are at the mercy of the idiot track designer who apparently thought that cars could somehow never lose control and run off the tarmac
