Formula 3 Driver Sophia Floersch High Speed Crash
The Macau Grand Prix was brought to a standstill during a Formula 3 race when German driver Sophia Floersch went flying through the air after a high-speed crash. Floersch, only 17-years-old, lost control of her Van Amersfoort Racing car as she sped towards the tight right hand corner and slammed into the inside wall. She then sped backwards towards the turn and after clipping the kerb, her car became airborne before she hit fellow driver Sho Tsuboi at incredible speed.  The result from the impact then launched her high into the air where she was catapulted into the debris fencing before her car smashed into a photographers bunker and landing back on its wheels. The terrifying footage was captured from all angles by fans in attendance with the vision looking like something more out of a movie than an actual race. After sitting in 16th place, Floersch reportedly hit the back of Jehan Daruvala on the straight before losing control.  The speed-trap had her tracking along at 276.2km/h before the braking area into the Lisboa corner. Ferrari junior driver Guan Yu Zhou, who was behind Floersch, explained how the unprecedented crash unfolded after the race. “Sophia was really close to Jehan, so when Jehan braked early she had no time to react,” Zhou said. “She hit Jehan’s right-rear, and that spun her around straight into Lisboa, and she flew into the other car. “I just hope she’s OK.” Despite the enormous impact of the crash, the FIA confirmed Floersch was conscious and was being transported to hospital. “A serious incident has occurred on Lap 4 of the 2018 FIA F3 World Cup at Macau involving car #25 Sophia Florsch (GER),” the statement read. “Following evaluation by medical staff, the driver is conscious and has subsequently been taken to hospital for further evaluation.” Unfortunately the result of the crash ended with five people in total being taken to hospital with two drivers, two photographers and one track marshal. An update from Macau officials after the race confirmed the up and coming driver had suffered a spinal fracture in the crash, her vital signs are stable. |

Re: Formula 3 Driver Sophia Floersch High Speed Crash
"Footage of the accident taken by spectators shows Floersch tearing into a right-angled corner at 276km/h." Who enters a 90 degree turn at 276 km/h (173 mph)? What a dumb bitch! |
