There has been some crashes as well during this test session. Tomas Scheckter white walled the car and parke dit int he grass, he is ok! The most serious one involved the second and third place finishers at Indy!
Kannan slowed infront of Heilo and heilo touched Ton'y back wheels and reportedly sent Heilo flying in the air, hittign the fence and ripping a hole in it. The car came to a rest on its top gulfed in flames! Heilo climbed out of the car with NO injuries, thankfully!!! Tony was un injured as well. There is no video of the crash but it would be something to see! I bet it was very similar to how Reborto Gurero crashed a few years ago at Texas!
I wonder if anyone was there taking pictures?
here are there comments
Tony Kannan-
"We were both running full tanks," Kanaan said. "In talking to Helio, what happened was I was warming my tires, and he was obviously going much quicker. I went wide in Turn 3 and 4. I was going a slower speed than him, and he was in a blind spot. He hit me from behind. Fortunately, he's OK and I'm OK, so we're going to go back home."
Heilo Castroneves-
"I was just behind Tony, and we were running together," Castroneves said. "All of sudden, Tony went high. He was in a situation where he couldn't see my hands. When he slowed down, my car hit his left-rear wheel. I noticed I was upside down. I smelled the methanol, and I was just worried about it getting on fire. All of a sudden, the fire caught. It (the crash) was a good one. I wasn't very happy, because the car was very good. I'm fine. I'm ready to go."
