Eau Rouge Crash Club

It's nice to know that I'm not the only one that has had some problems
getting through Eau Rouge cleanly. Today, Jacques Villeneuve and Ricardo
Zonta both spectacularly destroyed their BAR F1 cars at exactly the same
point on the track, losing it coming out of Eau Rouge. What I couldn't
believe was Villeneuve actually running back to the pits to get into the
spare car -- after walking away from a major smashup and rollover of his
primary car. Zonta's crash was even worse, but he too walked away.

Wow... Jaques tries it again every year... absolutely the *same* crash as
last year. And Zonta tried to copy Salo's last year fly-off. Seems that Eau
Rouge doesn't like BAR's this year :-)
But amazing, how much these F1 chassis' can stand. Jaques and Ricardo jumped
out of the wreck as if it was only a minor crash in everyday traffic (thank
God :-) and both crashes looked very ugly.
Yes, Eau Rouge is also one of my favorite corners to kill my 'virtual alter
ego' in GPL (just imagine, what would had happened to a '67 F1 car in such a
crash...)
