ERNESTO VISO’S CAR CAN FLY
07.02.07What, you've never heard of Enrico Viso? Me neither. [EDIT: Probably 'cuz his name's Ernesto. Oops.] But who cares, he crashed his car in spectacular fashion at a Gran Prix race this weekend (it comes about a minute after the two lead cars crash into each for no reason at the start of the race).
Disappointingly, no one was injured. Obviously these cars need to be lighter and faster if we're ever going to start killing race car drivers with any sort of regularity.

Cory Lidle says thats not the way to fly.
apart his name being ernesto viso, you are absolutely right: we need to build lighter cars to make motor racing what it once was. btw: of course, germans have been involved in both of those accidents, as well in that even more spectacular crash of robert kubica in toronto three weeks ago (through building his BMW, that is). we all should be probably in jail now…
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
When did they start letting Asian women race in Grand Prix?
@ heinz
Huh?
If we as sports fans are serious about upping the death/dismemberment factor of racing, we should insist that every pitstop include a mandatory chug of the sponsor's alcoholic beverage.
Unless its Budweiser, of course, because that'd just be cruel.
Red Bull gives you wiiings!
I know all Italians look the same to you, Matt, but it's Ernesto Viso.
I've never heard of Enrico Viso. Neither has the rest of humanity.
Jesus Christ. Okay, I just need one person correcting me.
Has anyone looked into Anthony Hopkins and Mick Jagger possibly playing a role in this?
Nice fucking hustle by the people who came to pull him out of his car. Why not wait until the sun goes down and it's not quite so hot outside?
Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads.
The only thing that could make that clip better is if they added that "bbbbbbbbb" sound to the audio like the Jetson's car used to make
That was cool. I like the way there was a concrete wall next to the track as a safety measure. There should also be a river of burning oil.
The same thing happened to me on the Ike during my commute to work. I just got out and walked the rest of the way. My name? Bill Brasky.
Very Greg Louganis-esque.
I haven't seen awesome wall smash like that since Dale Earnhardt forgot how to turn left.
