š This might be the most aggressive driver change in endurance racing history.
ā
The clip comes from the 1999 British GT Championship at Donington Park, where the number 0 Sintura S99 was shared by Richard Dean and Kurt Luby.
ā
Instead of waiting for the outgoing driver to carefully climb out, a crew member basically grabs him and launches him clear of the cockpit so the replacement can get in immediately.
ā
The S99 itself was a seriously exotic GT1 machine, using a carbon-fiber chassis and a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter Judd V10 derived from Formula 1 technology.
ā
Only one S99 was built, and despite its short career it scored a British GT victory at Silverstone and multiple podium finishes in 1999.

Would you trust your pit crew after getting extracted from the car like this?
