I dont think a Sprint Cup Nascar car would have faired any better. He slid sideways into a wall, he got t-boned by it.

Nascar was like that just years ago.. And they have many tracks still like that. Jeff Gordan almost did that this year. First couple of races.. Let me look it up.

Ya, you do that and get back to me

Gordon's wreck was at Vegas. That has been fixed. They major difference was the wall was way lower in the track (comparatively) and it was coming out of the corner, not INTO the corner.

Again, those 'ends' are coming out of the corners. Can't hit them like he did. The wall in mexico was like that goin INTO the corner. Not safe.

So your saying you could NOT t-bone the inside pit wall?? Just like the driver in your video...

Goin 120, entering the corner? Correct. If the wall started in the middle of the straightaway, sure they could. But the wall is at the from one end of the corner to the next. With the laws of physics, a wreck like the one that killed Pardo is not gonna happen there.
