Chris Forsberg - Safety Concerns [SNAPSHOT OVERLOAD]

[Wrecked Magazine]

In our first post about the Calvin Wan Vs. Chris Forsberg drama that I titled Rulebook Vs. Reality I covered the 5 minute rule. My next issue with this tandem battle is how was Chris Forsberg let on track with their “repairs.” Now, the way Kevin Wells and CFR got his car to operate and run on the track was truly amazing and the fact that Chris Forsberg was able to drift with ratchet straps holding his front suspension together is amazing but was it safe. Personally, after reviewing the photos of how his car was held together and the movement of his wheel it seems very clear to me that Nissan 350z should of not been allowed on track period, much less after a One More Time was called. Here is a break down of the Nissan 350z after the unfortunate crash between Calvin Wan and Chris Forsberg. Here is what held the front suspension together and the damage done to the wheel.

So this is how Chris made three passes in his Nissan 350z. It’s amazing he got this car to drift at all. Here now is a shot of the damage done to Calvin Wan’s S15. You can see the front wheel of Forsberg put a hole in the Silvia.

Now you can view the wheel movement on Chris Forsberg’s car as he was continuing to compete. The images below are pretty crazy.

Should Chris Forsberg have been allowed on the track after the collision with Calvin Wan? Please leave comments to let us know your thoughts!

^^ haha yeah i was thinkin the same thing. Although, that is pretty badass, its kinda gay because its hella unsafe.

 

[Slide~Or~Die]

Its unsafe, but for who? him nd other drivers? if so then y not let the decision be up to him nd who hes driving against?

Even tho that is some serious damage!

 

[STP03bluesi]

wow.

 

[japan101]

They should have never let him drive. Rules should state that if you cant fix it properly or for that matter have a tech judge inspect the damage and if he deems it to much the run should go to the person able to compete without compromising safety.

I give it to him for keeping control of that thing...but if it were anyone else *or a privateer* he would have never been let back on.
