Video of when Allen Simonsen lost control of the car. There are comments how the race prep put down fresh paint prior to the race. Certainly looks like he got onto the paint and the car could not be controlled. The paint would cause the left side tires to slip and the right side to catch...thus pushing it counterclockwise and off the track to impact.
Obviously, a completely preventable collision: both in race prep and the barriers they chose to use. IMHO Rest in Peace Allen, I hope your death is not in vain and will result in changes so others may be safer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojUp0gLlcsU |
