He only escaped with bruises, but he himself says that he may have escaped the gravedigger from the shovel. The pilot of the Mičánek Motorsport team powered by Buggyra Bronislav Formánek crashed at full speed into the barriers during the tests on the circuit in Imola. “It’s a section where you drive a full six, a speed of about 240 kilometers per hour, and then you go to the brakes,” describes the circumstances of the accident pilot circumstances that preceded the skid and impact into the barriers.
From the accident in which the brand new Hurricane EVO 2 was practically completely destroyed, Formánek happily escaped with only minor injuries. “I’m recharged, my chest hurts, behind my neck. Fortunately, I have no internal injuries, “he describes the results of the accident and the conclusions of the medical examination.
“It was my riding error, I pushed too hard on the saw,” the pilot admits, saying he hadn’t had a major accident in six years. And never so hard. He couldn’t get out of the car after the accident In any case, he left his seat and, after the examination, sat down again that day in the second team Lamborghini and set off on the track.
“Before I returned from the examination, the boys tossed me a seat, a steering wheel, adjusted my belts and I went around for another six laps so that I would return immediately and not have a block from the accident,” explains Mičánek Motorsport, powered by Buggyra.
The accident came just before the opening weekend of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe series in Imola. In it, Formánek and Josef Záruba want to defend last year’s overall third place in the Pro-AM class. If he will start the race weekend, he will probably decide on Friday. “I expect to start training and then we will see,” says Formánek, adding that he is most limited by an injured knee and a swollen instep, due to which he cannot brake his left foot well.
According to team manager Jiří Mičánek jr., The crew will receive a replacement car for the first race weekend. “We are also prepared for the option that Broněk will not be able to go. In that case, Pepa Záruba would drive alone or be joined by one of the professional pilots from Lamborghini. We are talking about it now, “Mičánek explained.
