Mr. Porsche Driver has some serious death grip on that wheel.

Agreed. I’m hoping for the best but every other crash I’ve seen where the driver is slumped over and not even trying to save the car... It’s usually the worse cast scenario.

I am an engineer and you are absolutely correct!!! A crash fence needs to have the structural integrity to absorb impact with out actually becoming elastic and using the force to change direction. And it’s a great question! I got into racing because of physics, I love seeing questions like this instead of “my favorite…

It would if the car went directly into it head on. But what it would do on a high speed corner like this, it would turn all of the lateral energy and make the car spin with it. Which would suck for the driver.
