@daily.historian: Tom Pryce's accident occurred during the 1977 South African Grand Prix at Kyalami. The incident began when Pryce's teammate, Renzo Zorzi, parked his car on the side of the main straight due to a fuel meter failure, which caused the car to catch fire. Two marshals, one of whom was Frederik Jansen van Vuuren, crossed the track to assist Zorzi, despite the race still being in progress. As the marshals ran across the track, two cars driven by Hans-Joachim Stuck and Tom Pryce were approaching at high speed. Stuck managed to avoid the marshals, but Pryce, who was directly behind Stuck, could not see Jansen van Vuuren and was unable to react as quickly. Pryce's car struck Jansen van Vuuren at approximately 270 km/h (170 mph), splitting his body in half. In a tragic twist of fate, the fire extinguisher that Jansen van Vuuren was carrying hit Pryce directly in the head. The impact of the 18kg container caused Pryce's helmet to be wrenched upward sharply, leading to his instant death. The force was so great that it nearly decapitated Pryce, with the chin strap of his helmet digging into his chin. After the impact, Pryce's car, now without a driver, continued at speed down the main straight. The accident resulted in the deaths of both Pryce and Jansen van Vuuren. Pryce was only 27 years old at the time, and Jansen van Vuuren was just 19. The incident remains one of the most shocking moments in the history of Formula 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Pryce https://firstsportz.com/f1-news-dissecting-the-story-behind-the-tragic-deaths-of-f1-driver-tom-pryce-and-marshall-jansen-van-vuuren/ https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1l40f https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1143650-the-35th-anniversary-of-the-death-of-the-formula-1-welsh-dragon #formula1 #f1 #f1racing #carrace #race #dragrace #carguy #car #cars #racing #Carmemes #Carmeme #carphoto #history #historymeme #historymemes #dankmemes #dankmeme #meme #memes #memesonly #historyfact #historyphoto #e30 #carguys #racer #fastnfurious #Nascar
