2nd video explains everything in horrific clarity. Given the velocity of the collision the fuel cell didn't stand a chance!
The Capri driver had to know well before the hood crumpling CSL impact their brakes had faded close to zero on the track.
Makes one wonder about the skill of the Capri driver. Would seem the correct protocol would be stay to the left in pit lane until the car fully stops & try to stay out of harms way.
Part of the Street Survival curriculum offered through the BMW CCA Foundation, SCCA & PCA is exactly this scenario. During the acceleration zero warning Right or Left evasive turn exercise. The students are taught how to maintain control at speed while their instructor says L or R, reacting in under a second to stop in a designated area without hitting any cones.
It's an excellent skill to have & I have used this in real life several times. Most notably on a Connecticut Historical Automobile Society Tour (C.H.A.S.) on back roads through CT, RI & MA in 1996. We in Rhode Island, 2nd in line driving our 1933 Packard Twelve Convertible Coupe Roadster behind a 1965 Convertible Mustang through a construction zone leaving Newport. A flag lady walked onto the road with their stop sign, the Mustang screeched to a stop nearly hitting the flagger! Seeing this, I hit the brakes hard while turning left, all 4 tires squealing & stopping even with the people in the Mustang. I said, matter of factly "Well, that was close." Then I smiled & waved the horrified flag lady. Now stopping that Packard even to the Mustang owners, meant our front bumper was 3 feet beyond theirs. There was a collective sigh of relief from everyone on the tour who saw everything.
