Professional race car driver, Sebastien Bourdais, was injured in a wreck on Saturday. Bourdais was in the middle of qualifying for the Indianapolis 500 when he tried to turn, but ended up crashing into the wall at about 231 mph almost head on. After the crash, Bourdais was transported to a nearby hospital where he will undergo surgery for a fractured pelvis and a fractured hip. At the pace he was going, Bourdais was set to have the fastest qualifying time after his first two laps around the track. He reached a top speed go 233.116 mph.
I believe that race car driving is very dangerous. This crash was an accident due to a fast turn, but there have been many injuries due to race car driving. I feel that the speed these cars are driven at is not safe, and should there should be rules and regulations regarding the speed race cars can drive at. I hope Bourdais is able to return to race car driving as soon as possible.
