Doesn't look as though the driver would have made it. The camera answered the question. Looks like a 355.
Yeah that was a 355. Wow what an ugly wreck. I hope the guy in the 355 made it. If he didn't I hope he was knocked out the whole time so he couldn't feel anything.
There is something in the racing section about this the driver did survive. And has just sued the organizers. The marshalls were absolutely useless. Here is the link to the racing section post. go down to the bottom of page 1 and you will see a link http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36899 Link to the marshall draging him out of the car http://members.roadfly.org/dakar2m/aftermath2.mpeg Dreadful
WOW! You can see his suit still smoking while he is lying on the ground knocked out. Glad to see he was able to walk away. Though be it he was still dazzed big time.
Oh man, these marshalls are absolutely worthless! Only one of them drags the driver out of the car and he just leaves him lying there. They absolutely don't care about him at all! Not even a medic.
