A costly collision at Monza’s tricky Turn 1.
A Porsche 911 GT2RS struck a Pagani HuayraBC from behind during a Monza track day. Both cars sustained serious damage according to the Instagram clip.
It appears that the crash occurred at Monza’s legendary turn 1 chicane, which is part of Monza’s famed Grand Prix circuit. This turn is difficult and requires strong control of your car’s brake power as well as the ability to slow down at the end of a straightaway. This tricky corner was a key factor in Lewis Hamilton’s success at the 2019 Italian Grand Prix.
The 700-horsepower Porsche 911 GT2 RS was too fast to turn the corner, causing the Porsche 911 GT2 RS driver to crash into a Pagani HuayraBC coupe. The Porsche 911 GT2 RS can be a formidable track weapon, but it requires a skilled driver to handle its incredible performance. Driver skill is more important than a car’s ability to set lap records at Nurburgring.
The brief footage shows that the Porsche 911 driver was not injured and opened his door before it came to a halt. This dangerous maneuver highlights the importance of proper track instruction to keep you safe after a trauma.
At this time, we don’t have any information on the driver of Pagani Huayra BC. This was shown in the video. The impact with the 911 caused the Huyra’s doors to be forced open, which shows the enormous forces involved in the crash.
We are sorry to see these two amazing machines go, but we also hope the drivers and their safety equipment were able to protect them from the impact. This is a moment that shows how crucial proper track instruction can be when pushing any car beyond its limits.
