Polish authorities have recreated the kind of accident that earlier this year seriously injured Formula 1 driver Robert Kubica.
Renault’s Kubica suffered horror injuries during a minor Italian rally in February when arm-co barriers skewered his Skoda. Near-identical Skoda Fabias was used for the recreation in Poland, where they were shot at 110kph against the arm-co at a 20 degree angle, and then compared to the same crash on a stretch of arm-co that was properly installed.
