The gruesome accident in Japan's Super GT that paralyzed the Fuji Speedway

A severe crash occurred during the Japanese Super GT race at Fuji Speedway, involving Brazilian driver Igor Omura Fraga. His Honda Prelude-GT flipped at approximately 270 km/h after colliding with another car, causing the vehicle to roll onto its side on the main straight. The incident happened early in the race, shortly after the safety car had exited the track. Wet conditions and underheated tires contributed to a chain reaction involving three cars. Fraga’s car was pushed by another vehicle into the air before crashing onto the track. Drivers involved explained that poor grip due to wet asphalt and unwarmed tires led to loss of control. Bertrand Baguette admitted fault for initiating the collision, leading to penalties for his team. Despite the severity of the crash, Fraga was conscious afterward and reportedly gave a thumbs-up to mechanics.
