Formula 2 at Geylang Gudang Race Track

Let's not lose track here(no pun intended), would a WRX split in two if it hit a tree while travelling at 60 kph? and hitting it sideways?

If loved ones view an accident video and it shows that the deceased died as a result of his own damned stupidity, it will end their grief immediately and they'll be rejoicing at the fact that the idiot is no longer around to cause more carnage!

thats y the NOK insist they're not speeding or racing. basically, its just that the boys were chiucheng only.

WRX travel at 60kmph, langah tree & split into 2 pieces... technically is possible.

explaination: bake a cake into shape of a WRX, throw it against a tree at velocity of 60kmph, when the WRX cake hit the tree, maybe it will smash into more than 2pieces.

 

[williamsF1]

Even if they were really swerving to avoid a cyclist, must have been high speed to split the car into two.

if it wasnt speeding, then that means the WRX was fake 1 lah, made from recycled milo tin cans.

Bro, you are scaring the Traffic Police's EPU(expressway patrol unit). What if they now decide to drive at maximum 59kph, how to catch speedsters?:p

Most cars are only designed to take a certain amount of side-impact force.Any force beyond the testing protocol requirement would mean that there is no guarantee that the car will not split into two.

Euro NCAP Test Procedures


Side impact

The second most important crash configuration is car to car side impact. Euro NCAP simulates this type of crash by having a mobile deformable barrier (MDB) impact the driver’s door at 50 km/h. The injury protection is assessed by a side impact test dummy, in the driver’s seat..

Although it is difficult to judge the level of protection provided from the extent of intrusion, control of how the car side intrudes is important. Through the programme, Euro NCAP has seen large improvements in side impact performance. The provision of side impact airbags has helped. It is now normal for the cars tested by Euro NCAP to be fitted with side impact airbags.


Side Impact Head Protection
In side impact accidents, the head is the most frequently seriously injured body region. The MDB test provides incentive to improve head protection. To address this issue, Euro NCAP adopted a low speed pole test, this provided a means of assessing the newly emerging head protecting side airbags. The pole test is carried out at 29 km/h and although it is a severe test of head protection devices, it does not represent the more severe impacts that commonly occur when cars hit poles at the roadside. The test is simply able to assess the performance of such devices, within their current range of capability.

Bro, you are scaring the Traffic Police's EPU(expressway patrol unit).

Last I heard, their's are all customised...so should be safe enough for any frontal crashes ...Also they should undergone some "specialised" driving course to handle the Rexs. Many years ago I recalled a similar session done by PM for their BMWs.

I thought it was bad enough for people to snap photos of the 2 dying men, but now it appears their mobiles and watches were grabbed in the post-crash pasar malam...

good grief... simple physics here...
pressure = force over area

the force of the dummy test where the lorry ramming into the side of the car at 50km/h is not the same as the force of the car ramming sideways into the tree trunk at 50km/h, the force of the car ramming into the trunk would be higher than the dummy test...

for those interested in paranormal events, please take note.

are those folks at the SPI alerted?

the TP WRX is for show only. they use the WRX to go sight seeing. and use if for disply during NDP only.

now sup out to cisco use speed cam & speed gun to catch speedster. so now, TP WRX go at funeral speed half clutch all the way also still can catch speedster.

Bro Sunny,

How intensive do you think the training given can be? They are not training stuntmen. The ability to do a 180 degree turn on the move does not make them one. The rumour of customising QX vehicles I believed would be at best
bullet proofing the millionaires' cars. What they had were workshops on defensive driving on different road conditions eg wet roads and oily roads with simulated rain conducted by the vehicle manufactures. I can state for a fact that I've seen the aftermath of these guys rear ending civilian vehicles.
Remember the case of the traffic policeman who rushed to attend to an accident in his QX BMW on the SLE and ended up killing the injured accident victim? Specialised indeed. At the end of the day, if one is tempted to test the outside of the envelope, there is always the chance of adverse consequences.

u really think the slave behind the wheel dare to try the stunt using the WRX when he on duty? if the car crash when on course he never mind, its training only.

if on duty he try to drift, try to use pattern when going on pursuit, they will deduct his salary for each scratch on the car, until his pants drop la.

Definitely higher lah!!!:p That is why some cars now come with side air bags

now econ bad, can only have 3 possibility.

• desperate onlookers rob them when they're motionless
• desperate mata rob them when they're motionless
• both onlookers & mata rob them when they're motionless

if the forensic cant find any traces, then confirm is mata rob them, cos only mata wear gloves on the scene, onlookers need to go nearest 7-11 to buy 12pack condom to hide finger prints

 

[williamsF1]

and thanks to the 2 dummies, now we know subaru WRX dont have side airbags.

read in the newsapaper that the car was modified.
so if it is true,i think the insurance will not cover it.
looking the at pictures,he must be driving very fast.

Whoah!!! Goot memory u . Think they do have safety measures in place e.g. specilised driving techniques, defensive driving, SOPs etc.,but if at the end of the day if that fella behind the wheel wants to take a chance to beat the system.....we all know what the epilogue would be

Hahha..lidat who wanna join them :p

Side air-bags are standard items for cars sold in EU. Even the new WRX 2.5 that is sold in Australia has it. . Why local WRX don't have may be due to the cost which will have a bearing on the selling price.

The Renault Megane 1.6 sold here is also equipped with them. A total of 6 in all. How I noe...me neighbour just bought one
