Jeff Bodine: NCTS Daytona 2000

I also have the full coverage of the crash which im trying to shrink down to a reasonable size because I hate splitting up videos

Im working on that right now but in the mean time here is a nice clip of a horrific crash that Bodine survived

Pierre de Vizcaya was a Spanish racing driver who also took part in the 1923 Indy 500, finishing 12th. He also drove in the 1923 French GP in Bugatti's fantastic looking Type 32 'Tank', an aerodynamic experiment that lasted just the one race at Lyon.

During the first lap Pierre lost control of his Bugatti it went through a wooden fence and the car ended up against a telegraph pole. At least fifteen spectators were hurt and De Vizcaya and his mechanic Joseph Etienne were also injured.

The best finish for one of the 'Tanks' was 3rd in the hands of Ernest Friderich.

"Fantastic looking"?



That thing is the most ridiculous race car I have ever seen

That however does not mean that I wouldnt give my left pinky toe to drive it around my block

I love the Bugatti Tank, completely mad looking car.

If you thought that looked weird then check this one out, the Voisin C6 laboratoire raced in 1923 and appearing alongside 'the Tank' at the French GP.
The C6 was one of the first cars ever to use monocoque chassis construction, and utilised a bizarre looking small radiator-mounted propeller to drive the cooling pump.

Its designer Gabriel Voisin had initially been an aviation designer.

Now that is fucking tits

I would drive that around town all day long in jeans and a white undershirt with a pack of "Lucky Strikes" rolled up in the left sleeve (even though I dont smoke ) staring down anybody who dared to glance a dirty look at the car

Photos won't enlarge and video clips won't play. The new server needs a lot of work.

Site does look a bit sorry for itself...missed it though.
Hopefully the missing photos will find their way back as well.

Why the missing posts? What happened to them?

Maria de Villota. Amazing she survived when you see the damage that was caused in her accident.
