Zanardi spun coming out of the pits, and was hit by Alex Tagliani at 200MPH. According to news reports one leg has been lost above the knee, and one below.
All this, in the race that was re-named form the German 500 to the American Memorial 500.

Re: OT- Zanardi might lose both legs
what makes this even worse, as if it could be, is that fact that this is just about the only national sporting event taking place this weekend.

Re: OT- Zanardi might lose both legs (alexboy)
Anyone but him, man...He was one of my all-time favorites, up there with Schumi and JPM. The pass he pulled on Herta at Laguna...simply amazing. One of the most talented racers in rceent years.
The way F1 is going, he may be able to make a comeback. The cars are getting so sophisticated that most drivers only use one foot anyway. I'm being serious.

Re: OT- Zanardi might lose both legs (F1 Soul)
Yeah it sucked
but i guess if really wanted to...he could get articial legs....thank goodness he's even alive!
I felt sick the whole night thinking about what happend
I think he was a very talented driver and perhaps one of the best CART drivers of all time(i know he had a tough time in F1...but who cares)
I'd like to show how much respect i have for him by putting a small zanardi emblem on the back of my car
anyone know how the zanardi nsx emblem looks.....or does CART have stuff like Nascar has, where u can buy a decal or emblem with the number of the racer u like?
pictures of the emlem would be appreciated
thanks
