Damn... Its amazing that their injuries were that little. Most high performance race cars (besides nascar) are ment to break away from the driver when they wreck leaving them in nothing but their seat and rollcage. Knock on wood for that guy, insane race!

Yeah, its amazing how CART/F1 cars are designed. I saw a special on it, that every part of the car could break apart, and the driver would still be just fine in the little cacoon of carbon fiber and some other materials that make up the drivers area. Supposively its on the the strongest materials for its thickness ever designed. I don't know what all layers it consists of though. Its carbon fiber and like 4 other things. All very lightweight obviously.

Yeah every year is safer than the previous. Still sitting on a stick on dynamtie though. Don't forget, just last year a top fuel driver got killed.
