It was a throughly enjoyable race until the accident. Maybe open wheel racing can use an enclosed cockpit.

Very sad, hope he makes a full recovery. Looks like he hit the brakes before hitting the wall?

Damn.....
Justin was one of the good guys - never did get a ride to match his ability & things were just starting to brighten up with Andretti picking him up...

Shame.
One of the nice guys, he will be missed.
At least his family did not have to go through the lengthy induced coma routine.

Old concept, think they did this design a couple of years ago.

Old concept, think they did this design a couple of years ago.

And probably one more concerned with aerodynamics perhaps?
It would certainly be open to such abuse.

But freak accidents will always happen..

... Then add body parts around the wheels for safety, and you will get a perfect LeMans prototype. Who wants open-wheel anymore ? :banghead:
