IndyCar Driver Avoids Disaster With Mind-Blowing 190mph Save

IndyCar driver James Hinchcliffe avoided a nasty accident during last weekend’s Pocono race with an absolutely mind-blowing save at over 190mph

Completing an awesome save after a wild moment is difficult enough on a normal racing track, let alone a barrier-lined oval where cars reach close to 200mph.

Schmidt Peterson Motorsports driver Hinchcliffe almost definitely needed a change of race suit after this wild moment on lap 102 of Sunday’s IndyCar race at Pocono.

As he got to the mid-point of the corner, on the higher line, the back end started to step out – leading to some incredible car control and reactions. Look at him working at the wheel on the onboard footage!

Whether Hinchcliffe just clipped the wall or narrowly avoided it, we’re not 100 per cent sure, but he certainly escaped a huge shunt with this ridiculously cool save.

He tried to make the Need for Speed wall scraping without crashing look realistic 😉

Once in Need For Speed Hot Pursuit (2010), I completed a race of 8 Bugatti Veyrons & finished 1st. The track was so long that it took about 13 minutes to finish, even with Veyron’s 431 kph top speed. Afterword I restarted the race & figured out, I drove the whole 13 minutes at over 400 kph, without brake/reverse button. That moment still makes me freeze. O_o

Dayum son, how’d ya pull that off? I can barely ever finish a race without crashing into an orange or red car at dusk or a blue or black car in the dark or a silver car on dry and wet road

So this happens all the time in NASCAR and even harder saves are made but never any ct coverage. Sad.

They are not going as fast or as close to the wall often but some saves are still better
