Details are sketchy, but sometime during the morning of July 15th, a 22-year-old male in a - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER lost control of the vehicle and died in the resulting catastrophic crash. The massive debris field scattered across the Qatari desert suggests the car was traveling at very high speed, rendering any amount of carbon-fiber protection useless.

If you are going to have a car crash, the SLR is probably the best choice with F1 like carbon fibre monocoque and carbon fibre shock absorbing cones at the front. However nothing can save you if you are going at insane speed like that. The rotation and deceleration alone will make you vomit out your internal organs.
