In the endurance races at Bathurst, it happened and happened.
Christopher Mies’ car was destroyed in a collision with a kangaroo. PDO
There were enough dramatic events in the 12-hour endurance races of the Intercontinental GT challenge class held in Bathurst, Australia.
The race only had time to expire by a quarter of an hour, when Christopher Mies ran into a kangaroo with his Ford Mustang at a speed of 250 kilometers per hour.
The German driver’s car was damaged in the collision, but he survived with just a shock.
It could have been worse.
– Of course it was a really, really hard blow at a really high speed, so I’m just happy that I’m standing here now, the Man who won twice at Bathurst comment what happened on Motorsport’s website.
The dangerous situation was also nauseating, because the kangaroo spread inside the car. There are pictures on social media showing the carcass of an animal on Mies’ helmet.
The man announced after the race that the riding gear went straight into the trash when he took it off.
– I can tell you that the kangaroo inside the car doesn’t smell very good, but I’m just disappointed, on behalf of the team, that we weren’t able to complete the race.
The eight-hour ears shook again – and properly.
Two cars had crashed and spun in the middle of the track at a point where it was practically impossible for those coming from behind to spot them.
The Mercedes team that led the race Ralf Aron collided with someone who was on the track at full speed by Johannes Zelger To Porsche.
– One of the scariest racing situations we’ve seen at Bathurst for a while, Autosport summarized in its X update.
In this case too, the drivers were lucky on the way, as both drivers miraculously managed to avoid injury.
