Drivers nightmare, photographers dream... it was all caught on film. Rally San Martino di Castrozza 2018.















The two men, aged 31 and 48, conscious, were taken by helicopter to Santa Chiara: the navigator was discharged in the evening, while the other remains hospitalized

The pilots involved are Riccardo Canteri and Pierino Leso , who were on board a Fiat 131 Racing, 2,000 displacement, of the Scaligera Rallye stable.

  1. The link provided seems to have expired.

    Do you know who the driver & navigator are and if they were injured/ or survived?

    1. the link works, your computer doesn't. Sorry. It's fine, and since you didn't get through, you might want to fix that and prevent it from getting you around the internet in the future.

      the FIAT Abarth 131 of Riccardo Canteri and Pierino leso during the Rally of San Martino di Castrozza 2018: the pilot lost control and the car turned over several times ending up in the street below, 50 meters down.
      The crew did not report consequences, a true miracle according to who was present. It would have been very different with a roll-bar of the time and if you had not unhooked the tank on fire during the flight.

  2. Says a lot for roll cage technology. Amazing pictures, and even more so, that they survived as of this posting.

  4. I thought cars only exploded soon after becoming airborne in the movies.

    1. I guess the movie guys got the idea from reality?
