Two High-Impact Crashes at Toay Leave Drivers Unharmed

Rapid on-track medical care, combined with built-in car safety devices, limited harm after a front-row TC2000 crash into a wall where tire barriers were absent.

Overview

  • Tomás Fernández lost control at the start of the TC2000 final on Sunday when his Nissan Kicks hit a curb, slid across grass, struck a perimeter wall in a sector without tire barriers and rolled.
  • Fernández exited the heavily damaged car under his own power, received immediate track medical attention, was taken by ambulance to the pits for checks and said he had only 'some pains' and nothing serious.
  • Hours later in the Fórmula Nacional final, Renzo Sabatini was involved in a contact with Benjamín Squaglia and then suffered a lateral impact from another car, but he was able to leave his vehicle and was reported out of danger.
  • Both incidents caused major material damage and briefly interrupted racing, illustrating how high speed plus a fixed-wall impact produces violent forces even when safety structures function.
  • Race coverage and medical response emphasize the protective role of modern car safety systems and the need to review circuit protection in the specific sector where Fernández struck the wall.
