I saw a feature on Speedvision yesterday talking about driver safety.  They
showed some crash footage - one was a CART car sliding into a gravel trap, then
barrel-rolling.  It was a Players car, but I don't know who the driver was.
Any ideas?

Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you

Patrick Carpentier?

(Didn't see the show on SV, just seem to remember him being in a barrel
roll accident at one time)

Could have been Greg Moores accident that killed him....although that
wouldn't really show driver safety.

It was not Greg Moore, this was on a road course and I am pretty shure it is
Carpentier car. This is the same crash that they used in the trailer of
Driven.

I remember that one, but I think what is being referred to is Patrick again,
but at turn two (after the first turn hairpin), at Laguna Seca last year.

He hit the gravel, the top of the tyres and right over the catchfence!
Maybe a few here missed it.  It sure is worth a look!

That's right in the show they did show both accidents. Man that was one heck
of a lucky crash. His head just missed the fence as he was flipping over it.

Man, Patrick *has* had some amazing accidents, hasn't he?  The one I was
referring to was NOT the Laguna wreck, so it must have been Elkhart.
