Accident at Classic Car Race: Driver Seriously Injured - Vintage Car Race Ends in Tragedy: Driver Severely Injured
A vintage car race in the Allgäu region ended in tragedy yesterday. A 69-year-old driver was severely injured during the 'Jochpass Memorial', an event where drivers compete to maintain a set speed rather than race to the finish. The incident occurred as the driver attempted to overtake another vehicle on the route over the Jochpass near Bad Hindelang. The driver was airlifted to a clinic with serious injuries, while the passenger sustained minor ones. The track was subsequently closed for investigations. The 'Jochpass Memorial' is a 'Nascar-style' event where drivers aim to complete the route within a specific time frame or average speed, unlike traditional races where the fastest driver wins. The vintage car race was marred by this unfortunate incident. The driver's condition remains serious, and further details about the reopening of the track are yet to be announced.
