Corvette pit crew crash repair video ???

[kriss]

I recall an amazing video of team work where the Corvette team repair a crashed Corvette in about half an hour.

I have been looking all day for the video to no avail.

I am sure it was 2010 when Collard came close to Davidson and put the vet backwards into the barriers near Porsche. I can find the actual crash footage but not the amazing effort to repair it.

So that's a no then? It's an amazing clip for those that have not seen it

cheers chap!

There is deffo a full video out there - I think with some cheesy yank rock music heroics going on over the top too

Afraid I couldn't find it either - you're right about the cheesy soundtrack (Simply the best)! I think it was essentially the Speed TV feed edited down a bit. Rear end of the car was a right mess, although not surprising if you see how catch fence moves when the car hits the barriers. The crew had to refuel it before they started the repair, and there was a little consternation when Collard got it back, as there were fluids dripping everywhere, so didn't know if the fuel system had been compromised.

Great video, shame the full one has gone AWOL. I was at the back of the pits once a few years ago when a full front knuckle had to be replaced after there was contact on the track. Amazing watching them swap the part out and then track and set the camber with a bit of string, a pair of mole grips and a good eye.
