Mosterts massive crash at the top of the Mountain yesterday in Quali obliterated his car, luckily only one out of the six officials involved was taken to hospital.


CRASH

On a good note, Whincup (you legend !) has obliterated the track by posting the fastest time ever around the 6.2 k circuit

Yeah, Mostert's crash is testament to how much motorsport safety has improved over the years. To have the car tear apart like that, losing wheels, doors and even the diff but come out with only a couple of broken bones is amazing.
Track marshals must be thankful for barriers and catch fences too!

I don't think Whincup's lap counts as the fastest ever though. The GTs in the 12 Hour managed 2:02s and 2:03s. And Jenson Button pulled of a 1:48 or something in an F1 demonstration car a few years ago. eek2

Fabian Coulthard's 2010 wreck was pretty intense too.
