people dying/ getting injured badly is not cool, deal with it
Sophia Floersch Survives Horror Macau Accident
- Thread starter Paul Jeffrey
- Start date
I agree, it is disappointing to have these people active on the forum, totally out of order.
Though you could also say the curb also threw her over the fence into marshals and photographers that should be as removed from harm as possible. Tricky one.
I agree that this is a highly dangerous track. However, it's my favorite track in Raceroom... I wonder how real racing drivers feel about Macau? Anybody knows?

One of the scariest crashes I've seen in my 40 years as a motorsport fan... I can't believe she's alive. What a miracle! I hope she recovers fully.
I think you meant cojones

You should really see a doctor. Your mind must be playing games on you.

Why put those sausages, why?
IN A STREET TRACK, as if it already didn't have walls close enough to the track. We had similar crashes at Spa (Raidillon) because of this stupid policy regarding track limits.
Glad she is stable, hopefully it will bring more safety developments to racing in general.

My opinion (and only my opinion) is that a far more likely incident than Sophia’s would be a car turning in too early, bouncing off the Armco on the inside, and pancaking a car on the outside into the opposite barrier. The sausage curbs would obviously discourage this by keeping cars away from the inside Armco. I’m not saying that’s right or wrong. I’m just saying that may be the thinking behind the sausage curbs.
"Good God!" she was traveling fast before becoming airborne.
I couldn't believe the speed differential.
The sudden stop was what I was most concerned about.
Glad she survived that and hopefully will be back on the grid soon.
One tough chick to be tweeting so soon after that shunt.

Uhm... This was the 65th Macau Grand Prix.
Obviously is not cool, but if you're going at 300km/h doing dangerous manouvers don't expect to be completely safe it doesn't matter how many security measures they take. The human body is not suposed to go at that speed. He is right, racing is dangerous deal with it.
Wow was shocked when i saw the accident. Quite amazing no bystanders died, when this projectile was flying at over 200 kmh in to the photobooth.
Very happy to hear her spinal injury seems to be recoverable. It's a broken backbone but she not paralized.
So i expect she will recover quite fast, i think its even possible she will be racing again in a year or so.

Wow! looked more like her car was traveling at least 3x quicker than the other cars and my 1st thought was a stuck throttle , otherwise how can get to be so much faster than other cars.
