Queensland Raceway MINI Challenge Crash!



Just saw a clip of this crash on my local news... Incredible that the driver and a few spectators only sustained minor injuries! And sure, the car had a roll cage, but still very impressive that the driver was not more seriously hurt.

Who new Minis could fly...

Wow! That was amazing indeed. So glad nobody died, I thought for sure there'd be more spectators hurt than just two. Incredible...

Now there's an "E" ticket ride if there ever was one. Glad there were no serious injuries. Could have been a heck of a lot worse.

What a crash, amazing that no person in the crowd was killed, the MINI pretty well held it's shape as it tumbled through space, looked like it came to rest quickly on its wheels.
