Default 125+mph, seven and a half rolls, no cage - how does it end...?

Surprisingly well and testament to the strength of the passenger cell.

The subaru safety cell is pretty strong check this out. Even the fire dept have trouble breaking it.

I just love watching people smash up their cars!

£,000's to scrap in 3.5 seconds - you can't beat it!

Loke the blood wagon and chopper too - pity there was no footage of him being cut out.

I thought it was huge shame they put up the green screens around Schumacher when he shunted at Silverstone. I'd like the camera man to have been in there showing us the oxygen mask and the drips going in. Just love the blood and guts.

They do roll quite well, which is one plus considering how flimsy they are in front and rear impacts.

I've seen that often, where a car is totalled by someone who borrowed it on a track day. Porsche Carrera, BMW Z3 coupe, and Lotus Elite to name a few!
How they get on with that one I don't know. I'd say the motto should be along the lines of "if you can't buy it, don't try it!"

Lol, I take it you've never had any type of serious trauma/procedure..?

Do you like having injections and blood taken too, or are you just interested in others pain and discomfort..!?

Some serious weirdo's about, even more so in your case as you feel proud to admit it on a public forum..!

How old are you BTW..?

Is there any point in putting a roll cage in a road car?
What do you lot think?
If they are this strong in a roll!
Cage is extra weight - does it make it THAT much safer. It obviously does to a degree. The cage would have to be padded as well.
It must make the car stiffer too - Anyone one had a car with and without a cage?
Thoughts anyone

What the heck went wrong, suddenly veering off like that, mind you a bif front splitter and no rear wing were a recipe for some problems!
