Don't know if anyone else saw it yesterday but Katherine Legge had a HUGE HUGE HUGE crash in Champ Car at 180 mph whilst running 6th with 6 laps to go. It was probably one of the biggest crashes I've ever seen in racing and I felt physically sick watching it. The car was in pieces - and she walked away from it physically unhurt. Her rear wing flew off as she was going into the 'kink' at Road America Circuit. She's one tough cookie. I hope she gets back into a car a.s.a.p coz an accident like that has got to mess you around mentally.

Bloody hell that was a big one. Tyre barrier wouldn't have gone amiss there. Amazing that she was ok.


Apparently most people are saying that it was better going into the concrete as it absorbed more of the energy of the impact.
