Luckily no one was injured

Looking at the video (below), it was quite an accident. tweeted that).
I think that it was influenced by fortunate luck in various misfortunes, but even so, the driver was unharmed even in such an accident, as expected of Porsche.
The accident, which occurred at the Algarve International Circuit in Portugal, happened during a practice session of the Porsche Sprint Challenge, a support race for the FIA World Endurance Championship, which was scheduled to be held at a later date.
It was really good that there were no spectators because it was not a real race. At this time, several people in the grandstand were also in front of the car, so they were not involved.
Accident caused by brake failure
The driver of the GT3 Cup was Alex Areia, who explained that this happened because the brakes of the GT3 Cup broke down.
It seems that the brakes stopped working near the end of the straight.
That's too scary...!

And of course, the first thing that came to mind when I learned the reason for this accident wasWhen the brakes of my own black Carrera broke..
Now that I think about it, I was once again in a situation where my brakes suddenly broke (they stopped working), but I am truly grateful that I am still able to write this blog without incident, and I am grateful for that. .
