Footage of bizarre crash between Eric Scalvini and Nicola Baldan surfaces

By

The crash which eliminated TCR Italy Touring Car Championship front-runners Eric Scalvini and Nicola Baldan from the Imola weekend has been published, showing Scalvini slamming his Hyundai i30 N TCR into Baldan’s on an out-lap.

The incident happened in the qualifying session, with Scalvini swerving left as he began to warm up his tyres, but Baldan began to move down his right-hand side, perhaps interpreting it as Scalvini letting him through,

Scalvini then slammed into the side of Baldan’s car, wiping out both cars. Scalvini was excluded from the event, while Baldan was unable to take part after he broke his collarbone. Although both are academic in respect of the two cars being unrepairable during the meeting.
