On May 3, 1998 Japanese racing star Tetsuya Ota was involved in a chain reaction collision during a GT championship race. Ota was trapped in his car for more than 50 seconds while exposed to 800-degree temperatures. There was no safety crew coming to the rescue as fellow drivers frantically extinguished the flames. The result ended with serious burns to Ota and a lawsuit against track promoters and sponsors.

5yrs later after the accident...

one VERY lucky man indeed!

Good lord! I'm amazed he survived. I mean they wear those suits and stuff but that was pretty insane!

Jesus! I can't believe the second car! I'm surprised they even raced in those conditions.
