    Yep, specially coming out of that hour long safety car caution. Boneheaded move, indeed.

    Anthony Davidson said: "Some of my car crew came to see me today and left this by my bedside! I said 'is that all that's left?'"

    That's funny!
    Davidson is one lucky guy to come out of that wreck alive.
    I can't imagine what it must have been like for his loved ones and friends to see that happen.

    It's a helluva souvenir too! Not quite the trophy he was hoping for of course but I think I would proudly put that on the trophy shelf. :Thumbsup:

    Thanks to this helmet cam video, see and (if you have a good subwoofer and the sound turned up) almost feel what it was like to drive a lap of Le Mans at night in a Corvette.

    Love the rumble and growl of that engine :biggrin5: and you get a good sense of how he watches his side mirror and the dash mounted camera for prototypes coming up from behind.
