Here’s something you don’t see everyday, a racecar crashing into an official medical car. In this case we’re talking about the Stone Brothers Racing Falcon, driven by Shane Van Gisbergen, who had a steering failure after a minor crash on the opening lap of the Telstra 500 race in Sydney yesterday.
As Van Gisbergen was limping back towards the pits the medical car, a Porsche Panamera, caught the damaged Falcon and started to pass on its left side. At exactly the wrong moment Van Gisbergen’s car lurched to the right and the result is what you see above.
Thankfully, nobody was hurt in the incident and the damage to the Porsche seems mostly cosmetic.

Ryan, were you driving the medical car?
Smarmie what happened?
Expensive repair bill no doubt I imagine.
If only the steering snapped as the medical car was most of the way past, it would have hit the Panamera’s hideous arse and improved it!
The way that the front end was shoved hard into the fence was pretty tough, even with it being a car built as well as a Porsche there’s probably some heavy damage to the suspension-steering package as well as the doors and front panels damage.
