Before the runway: what the organization pointed out as preparation

On Saturday (17), during the night, pilot Zuar Maciel suffered an accident in the Área 48 event held at Speedway Music Park in Balneário Camboriú, on the North Coast of Santa Catarina.

According to Speedway, the starting vehicles go through safety checks before competing in order to verify that they meet the requirements necessary for entering the track.

Marcel Pires, Speedway's chief operating officer explained that the cars are prepared to withstand impacts and reduce risks to competitors. They feature sturdy chassis structures designed to keep the driver-occupied area protected even in severe collisions.

The clothes worn by competitors are also part of the safety kit: they are flame retardant and help to protect the body in fire situations.
