Knie gekwetst schijnt't.

Benieuwd naar zijn beoordeling van de auto.

Elektrisch concept van Koenigsegg? Vreemd dat dat zo snel in vuur schiet zonder fossiele brandstof.

Batterij...

Zijn die zuren etc. zo ontvlambaar?

[Jochen 5.363]

Zit er tegenwoordig nog wel zuur in die batterijen?

Per definitie wel zeker? Ge hebt definities van zuren waar ge protonenleveranciers hebt, en andere met electronenleveranciers.

Maar brand betekent chemische reactie. De energie van de batterijinhoud zorgt ervoor dat de boel sterk verhit, en dan is er wel iets dat gaat reageren, Bv lithium met zuurstof in de lucht.

[Ceke 2.257]

Wij reden in formula student met yasa (zoals in de koenigsegg) en zo'n batterij'en, die dingen zijn toch best wel gevaarlijk ja. Zijn ook niet te blussen..

JEREMY CLARKSON'S TRIBE

HAMMOND IN SWITZERLAND: WHAT I SAW

According to the Sunday Mirror’s “motoring correspondent”, television is always done in a rush and Hammond wouldn’t have had much time to familiarise himself with the ferocious power of the Rimac before starting his ill-fated run on Saturday’s hill climb in Switzerland.

“HIS BODY” – THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID – WAS BEHIND A SCREEN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL

Which is completely accurate apart from the fact that Hammond had been driving the car solidly, on motorways, airfields and closed mountain roads for four days.

He’d also done several runs on the hill climb that day. He knew the car well, he knew how fast it was, and he knew how to handle it in the bends. Doubtless, you’ll be hearing all about his views on it in the next series of the Grand Tour.

I don’t know what went wrong. Hopefully, when he comes out of surgery and is feeling up to it, he will be able to tell us.

What I do know is that I genuinely thought he was dead….

THE END OF THE DAY

I’d finished my runs in the Lamborghini Aventador S, and was back at the film unit base, sitting in a deck chair with a chilled glass of wine when I heard on the radio that James and Richard were going up the hill one more time.

I decided to hitch a ride in a van, so we could all join up at the finish line and head for the airport and the flight home. It was a beautiful day, the filming had gone well and I was on the phone to our executive producer saying that it would be good enough for programme one of the next series when I heard on the walky talky that the Lamborghini test driver had had an “off” in the Aventador.

I was cross. We needed that car for pick up shots the next day and I couldn’t understand why he’d been on the hill in the first place, or why he was going fast enough to crash. Then I saw a plume of smoke.

THE DRIVER HAD HAD AN "OFF"

Fearful that the “off” may be quite serious, I urged the driver to get to the top of the hill as quickly as possible.

THE BIG QUESTION WAS: HAD HE MANAGED TO GET OUT. NO-ONE KNEW.

I arrived maybe 30 seconds later and leaped out to see an inferno raging, maybe a quarter of a mile away, at the bottom of a hill.

It was obvious from the skid marks what had happened. He’d lost it somehow on the final bend after the finishing line and had plummeted down one bank onto a road lower down the hill, which had caused his car to flip.

The big question was: had he managed to get out. No-one knew.

I CAN FEEL IT NOW; THE COLDNESS

“HAMMOND’S IN THERE” HE WAS SCREAMING

And as I stood there, waiting for news, it dawned on me that the burning car was not yellow, as the Aventador was. It was white. Hammond’s Rimac had been white. And I can feel it now; the coldness. My knees turning to jelly. It was Hammond who’d crashed.

I was joined at this point by James who’d arrived on the scene just before me in his Honda NSX. He was in a right old state, his arms waving frantically, his eyes wide. “Hammond’s in there,” he was screaming.

THEN CAME NEWS THAT HE'D GOT OUT

Then came news from a nearby marshal that he wasn’t. That he’d got out before the fire started. And that “his body” – that what they said – was behind a screen at the bottom of the hill.

I could see the screen. I could see the paramedics behind it. I couldn’t see Hammond. I didn’t want to see him. Not after a crash that big.

"IT’S ALL RIGHT FELLAS. HE WINKED AT ME"

At a guess, I’d say he was doing 120 mph when he left the road and that he’d have been going even faster than that when he’d smashed into the road below. He wasn’t going to be a pretty sight, that’s for sure.

Our security man is made of sterner stuff and set off down the hill like a racing goat. I watched him arrive at the scene. I watched him intently. I saw him lift his walky talky and I heard him say “It’s all right fellas. He winked at me”.

For all the rest, all the details, and who knows, another book; well I’ll leave that up to Hammond when the lucky sod feels up to it.

Richard Hammond is back in the UK and able to look back on his crash with good humour.

The Grand Tour presenter met with Rimac CEO, Mate Rimac, to review data from the Rimac Concept One, and relive the moment he left the track and hurtled 100 metres down a hill, narrowly avoiding crashing into a house.

"I was aware that I was up high, and that inevitably the car was going to come down," said Hammond.

"And yeah of course there was a moment of dread - 'Oh God, I'm going to die'."

"And also I was aware that the car was taking just such a beating. I mean if you look at those craters, that's a big hole that's just impact and it looks like the thing has been dropped from space to leave a whole that big. So yeah I was probably going 'well this is it'. In fact that is what was going through my mind. I thought 'I've had it'."

Die reconstructie van zijn crash, fuck man
