I do believe that Cevert was effectively split in two, you can tell the torso/head is restrained and it's pretty impossible to be connected and have your legs in the position they landed.

Any driver's death is a tragedy, but some of the "fire" deaths were truly horrifying.

Thanks again for your efforts Alvin

Thats awesome to have someone who knows the deal behind most of the photos that I have posted, not only to back up the authenticity of them but to back up knowing how I have all of them on my computer from many years ago before the hackjob and destruction

I know you have seen all of these pictures before as a member, but its always good to bust them out and remember all the great drivers who gave their lives for the sport they loved

And I agree with you on Cervet, in fact I might (I stress might ) have a screen cap of some of that discussion of the Cervet photo

My heart goes out to Vuky II--horrible to lose both father and son to racing.

Yes I do, and I think I know the exact picture your talking about of Vuky Sr. with his hand showing outside of the wreck

An yes RIP to both for sure

Vuky Sr is one of the all time great drivers, maybe even top 5 but for sure top 10 no doubt

Let me try and find them, if its in my 1955 folder then give me a couple hours because I have over 200 pictures of the Le Mans Crash and aftermath, but I still need to post those pics as well so after Ratzy and Senna I will get some 1955 action going on

[AlvinKarpis]

Ok here is an amazing and horrible set of pictures of both Senna and Ratzy in both crashes

It took a little while to get them seperated out, so I do not have them in any type of order

If you cant tell Sennas crash between Ratzys crash just ask me

For heads up Ratzy drives the light multicolored pastel blue/green car with the large MTV logo on one side, Senna car is just blue

Also there are some pics of the Barichello pit crash where he ran into some of his crew and hurt himself as well

[AlvinKarpis]

This is a short but amazing video of Sennas crash

It is every video synced together including his onboard cam as well as the cars cam right behind him

It was made for the court case for his crash that went on for 11 years

Here is the original Vuky "Hand" photo from UPI

I have some variations of it as well as an explanation of the hand controversy

I also tossed in a bonus pic of Vuky with the Indy Star

The last pic is the full frame version of the "hand"

[AlvinKarpis]

Super ultra rare color photo of the "Hand"

[AlvinKarpis]

Speaking of pit accidents I have some amazing shots of the Bennenton Pit Fire at the German Grand Prix

I have lots more Senna and Ratzy photos as well that I will throw up

[AlvinKarpis]

Ratzenbergers crash from various angles

The clip is in German, but you dont need to understand German to understand what is happening

RIP

Takashi Yokoyama Fuji Grand Prix 1997

This is the only footage (besides rumors) that I have

It shows an accident that happened right before the Yokoyama crash

I hate to laugh and this is not meant disrespectfuly but you can tell its a bad crash by the amazing scream let out by the Japanese Sportscaster

Its both chilling and hilliarious at the same time

Its more chilling because its a life lost in a horrible manner

The Yokoyama crash (you do not see him and his car hit the sign or launch in the air) is at the end of the clip, the crash right before is where the clip starts

There is aftermath footage as well but im having trouble finding it

[AlvinKarpis]
