R.I.P
The death of Georg Plasa to 50. time trial edition of the Rieti-Terminillo for the moment remains a mystery. The German 51 year old native of Warngau, was one of the most experienced drivers participating in the European Championship on the Mount: crashed at the wheel of the BMW 134 V8 Judd near the post number 35 in the second part of the track after the 4 . hairpin, when they were just uncheck the 14.23.
The dramatic impact occurred against the mountain at high speed right from the driver's side and the sympathetic German conductor seemed at once the conditions are very severe, so that the organizers have been placed in the ambulance transport to the Gemelli hospital in Rome.
Doctors in the capital have not yet issued a bulletin on the causes of death, but who has boarded the poor in the first aid Georg talking about multi-traumas that have affected various parts of the body. The car was seized and the place was opened an inquiry by the judiciary.
Alberto Riva, Carotti Cup race director, has been unable to explain the incident: "Shortly before the point of impact - has told Omnicorse.it - there are signs of a very short braking. One would think that he confused two very similar curves, but I am surprised that a conductor of his experience has made a mistake so gross. "
We're not talking about a pilot on Sunday, but a great professional and popular knowledge of hill climbs with undeniable experience in the international arena. Georg, in fact, had entered the Cup Carotti because in addition to love Italy, wanted to be a player with the Bmw 134 - Judd V8 race that was valid as proof of the seventh and eighth round of CIVM European Championship.
"I exclude the driving error - Fausto Bormolini reveals, the sample of K02 Reynard knew very well that George - Monday made the track very accurate tests. Where it is not off the road is where you make a mistake so gross. There are only two possibilities: an illness or a mechanical failure. The rear suspension and steering box. "
Bormolini is distraught because he lost a dear friend:
"These may seem like the words of the condition, but Plasa was a serious professional who was very well want to. He learned Italian and spoke with us only in our language. He has spent the last two years to develop the BMW V8 Judd and had made up his mind to achieve important results. "
Yet George is gone ...
"And 'terrible, but the truth will surely surface: Who perizierà the machine can determine whether there was a mechanical failure and the camera-car, which was mounted on the car, but was destroyed on impact, may be useful to shed light on this terrible accident. I Reynard at that point with the arrival at 235 km / h and Georg was not going much slower on the straights. Later there is a curve that addresses separated after having climbed two gears and decided . I do not think that the idea may have made a mistake ...".
Simon also champion the Tuscan Faggioli dell'Osella which is the most successful active driver, was in Rieti and was among the drivers who decided not to run, before the time trial was canceled.
"I have repeatedly requested information on the conditions of Georg - Simon reveals - but we were not told anything specific. When I saw that the BMW was destroyed, taken away by a tow truck, escorted by police cars, I knew something had happened serious and talking with colleagues we have decided that there were no conditions for racing.'m broken ...".
Bormolini excludes the mistake of driving and talking of a mechanical failure or a sudden illness ...
"I met Georg Thursday while he was mountain biking in the woods. It was a prepared and well trained pilot. I'd be amazed if she had taken ill. I can not really say what might have happened. At that point years ago had a bad crash and Regos you said it was successful because he was watching the tachometer, while now it was close to the curve. Plasa was a methodical, so I do not think for a driving mistake. I lost another friend, an esteemed opponent ...".
Who will have good arguments to be investigated to find a solution to this tragic yellow. A sample of the caliber of Plasa deserves for clarification
