Don't forget the change of underwear. He got out white as a sheet , Tony and I ran over to him as I checked him out he was shaken badly . Tony slipped a plastic human turd on his seat , Mike looked at it and said " no need for that the real one is in my pants" his diff had locked up on him so he said . After getting his mojo back he set off again and this time he forgot he was Fangio .
Who among us has not had a near brown adrenalin moment in our days racing.
I had a Dolomite Sprint which I raced for a couple of years (actually I had three due to various off's) but the worst was when the universal joint at the front of the propshaft gave up.
I felt a wobble.
I heard some grumbling and screech noises
I heard a lot of metal banging (prop on body etc)
It dug in and gave me an unexpected vertical component to my motion
I ended up on the roof with hardly a panel straight.
The view through my helmet went white, very odd experience. Didn't expect snow on the weather forecast. Turns out the Foamex went off.
Then I went unconscious for a bit.
Adrenalin may be smelly but when you mix it with fear it comes in a variety of colours apparently.
I did get the accident of the year award, not much of a consolation in truth
