Porsche Cup Brazil Driver Catches Major Air in Scary Qualifying Crash
On the opening weekend of the Porsche Cup Brazil came to a halt early when a scary solo crash sent rookie driver, Heverton Cardoso, airborne during his qualification session for the Sprint Challenge. Cardoso lost control entering the top of Autodromo Velocitta's corkscrew corner and hit a barrier while sliding sideways; this lifted the No. 36 GT3 car, and his momentum sent him flying.
The right side tires barely grazed the track surface as it flew across the corner, starting its first rotation. Upside down, Cardoso flew through the air before hitting the ground on the lid of his car and bouncing back up into the sand barrels. He had at least five more points of contact with the ground before skidding to a stop, alternating from hitting the surface with the nose and the vehicle's roof mostly.
The Porsche Cup medical team quickly attended to Cardoso and was able to exit the vehicle and head to the medical center with assistance.
