Hey there!
Last weekend I went to an Autocross event and I thought I'd show you some of the pictures I made.
Most of the cars there were cheap pieces of crap, driven by amateur drivers who can thus 'race' with a tiny budget:
sometimes the drivers a a bit too optimistic and things go wrong
all cars are fitted with safety roll-cages, so the drivers who crashed are fine
there was also a class just for beetles
in this class there was a real big accident. the car in the picture rolled 4 or 5 times. Unfortunately I had turned my camera off when the accident took place, so this out-of-focus picture is all that I have
the car was wrecked, I think only the engine can be used again. the front left and the right rear were bend several centimeters (or inches) and I guess the whole chassis is bent as well
And last but not least there was a 'sprinter' class with amazing pieces of engineering! This car has two (2!) 1000cc Honda motorcycle engines tuned by 'ten Kate' (who also have a team in the world championship motorracing)
These thing were blindingly fast!
If you ever have a chance to see these sprinter-cross-buggy things in action, you should. The speed will amaze you. reportedly they can reach 100kph (60mph) in 3 second ... ON DIRT!!!
well anyways, I had a nice day, hope you like the pictures
