Car crash race

Since the invention of car, the way we lived our life has drastically changed. Especially in the recent years, people have started preferring to own a private car rather than traveling long and short distances by public transportation unless it is an overseas business. Be it one person traveling or the whole family, car is the first preference among other vehicles.


But since the car has been invented; it is not just limited for domestic traveling purposes, it has also been used for satisfying the speed needs of a man. Cars are extensively used in the case of racing. Racing is where cars are brought out on only one intention, to be the first among the others. Slowly the car manufacturers understood the underlying opportunity behind this; they started concentrating on building faster and stronger cars in order to lure the racers. Thus began the never ending era of the car racing. The racers started preferring faster and faster cars. Some even went to the extent of modifying the architecture of the car in order to cram in more speed and power.


Racers have been since then involved in driving their cars at very high speeds. Apart from winning trophies and cash money, racing also has brought innumerable accidents and disasters. Driving at such a speed obviously increases the risk of danger and accident. And a wrong turn or wrong move at those speeds could end the car toppling many times over and leave the racer injured or dead. We can say here the extent to which an accident might affect the driver has directly got something to do with the speed. A single crashed car might lead to a pile up of other cars too, which often keeps happening in the NASCAR races. When the race cars crash, there is often anything left to re-use. During these races, ambulances and doctors are always there to help; just in case anything goes wrong. The race drivers get inside the car well prepared for this kind of situation, as they know that higher speeds mean higher risk and higher danger. Thus they wear all kinds of security clothing starting from helmet, chin guard, shin guard, arm guard, and the list goes on.


There is no account of how many cars have been rendered useless after a crash in the race. If you have seen the WRC rally anytime, probably you'd understand. These cars are designed in order to withstand powerful shocks, because in rally racing, the cars often roar the sky with jumps.
