I’ve seen Nascar crashes where a car going 180 goes sideways into a wall, and then gets t-boned by other cars that were also going 180 mph and yet no rollover and the cars barely look damaged and everyone walks away unscathed. Meanwhile normal passenger cars go sideways doing 50mph and they roll over 6 times, gets demolished, and kills the driver. What is it about Nascar cars that make them so crash resistant/resilient?
In: Engineering
It’s amazing how Nascar cars can withstand such high-speed crashes and keep drivers safe. From what I understand, Nascar cars are designed with safety in mind, using materials like carbon fiber and Kevlar to make the car stronger and more durable. They also have special safety features like roll cages, impact-absorbing foam, and seat belts that keep drivers securely in place during a crash. Additionally, Nascar drivers wear fire-resistant suits, gloves, and helmets that are specially designed to protect them from impact and fire. All of these features work together to make Nascar cars some of the safest on the road, even at high speeds.
