The 1960 Crash of the Porsche 718 RSK

Internationales Flugplatzrennen Klagenfurt, 1960 (Austria). Second stage Cup der Österreischen Flugplatzrennen der ÖASC.

Joseph (Sepp) Greger (on the photo — behind the driver) in a fight with David Piper and his Lotus 15 (№127). Porsche, having lost control, flies off the track at high speed and crashes into the parked Porsche-356B Hardtop, which is located directly in the spectator area. Алюминиевый капот turns like foil, penetrates into the cockpit and strongly injures the right hand of the driver. Greger recovered from his injury in a few months and continued his racing career.
