View Full Version : Redefining the phrase "massive accident"
Felipe Giaffone was very lucky not to get taken out in a 19-truck pileup in a Brazilian race. These were the big racing semis weighing 10,000 pounds each. That's nearly 100 tons worth of equipment wrecked. One truck went over the pit wall and disintegrated as it landed.

or..."The Big One!" I used to see tractor/trailer races EVERY morning on my way in.
The noise from that crash must have been incredible.

real truck racing is cool. proper articulated trucks going through the Kraner curves at Donnington is something else.
