Horrible crash to watch.

A statement from IndyCar read:
"Verizon IndyCar Series driver Sebastien Bourdais was diagnosed with multiple fractures to his pelvis and a fracture to his right hip following an incident today while attempting to qualify for the 101st Running of the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race.
"According to INDYCAR Medical Director Dr. Geoffrey Billows, Bourdais will undergo surgery on his pelvis this evening at IU Health Methodist Hospital. Bourdais was on the third lap of his qualification run at Indianapolis Motor Speedway when his Dale Coyne Racing No. 18 GEICO Honda made hard contact with the Turn 2 SAFER Barrier.
Statement from team owner Dale Coyne: "Sebastien is in good hands here at IU Methodist Hospital with the staff and now we just wait for him to recover."

Looks like enough angle, RH side of the car took brunt of the hit.

I just read about it. Wow.

[WTF]

he had the fastest time up until he lost it....was over 231mph avg lap speed I think

to see him correct and then go almost straight into the wall like that made you think fatality

and 20 years ago a hit like that mighta been a fatality

I think he was stopped for like 3 seconds and the safety crew were right on him

they've come a long way on the safety side....major kudos to indy car

when you can hit a wall like that and eventually walk away....nothing short of incredible

[StAnger]

Hard hit, glad he'll make a full recovery.

Jeesus I screamed out loud while watching. My wife yelled from upstairs "Did you spill your beer again?! Goof!"

[WTF]

just read that the time between Seabass impacting the wall and the safety crew getting to the car was









11 seconds


impressive
