Nigel Corner, driver in the Goodwood Revival of 1998, survived this brutal crash. In an interview with Motor Sports Magazine, he had this confession to make: “those old Ferraris are bloody strong, but if I’d been belted in I’d be a dead man now.”
Who knew forgetting to put your safety belt on could actually save you in a crash?
Still gotta hurt though - right!  :swoon:

Same thing happened to Gilles but he hit
a fence. Very lucky guy

The front engined cars wouldn't have had them. They thought it was safer to get thrown clear. F1 cars didn't have belts until around 1970.
