2009 Macau GP – Crash photos from the crash fest
Posted on November 22, 2009 by F1Wolf
The 2009 Macau GP provided some great racing action in all the events. It also produced lots of minor, major and spectacular crashes. Safety car was called to action in all Sunday races, two of those (the 2nd WTCC race and the Formula 3 race) were even red flagged. There were no serious injuries but lots of debris and some seriously damaged cars. Here are photos of some of the Macau crash fest action from the Lisboa bend. There were more seriously looking crashes and pile ups but those occurred at higher speed corners, away from the lense of my camera. Click on the thumbnails to enlarge the images:

Great crash photos! It all goes to show how tricky Macau is, as well as why winning it is so highly prized among F3 racers.
