C052 Roll Cage Saves Driver in 100mph Roll Over at Copse Corner

Client Insight

“It was myself in the car and other than a bit of concussion and a bruised elbow I was very grateful to walk away from it.”

Full Testimonial

We are incredibly grateful to share the harrowing yet inspiring footage of one of our customers, whose life was safeguarded by our C052 6-point bolt-in roll cage.

During a 100mph rollover incident at the well-known Copse Corner, Silverstone, the driver experienced a severe accident in his Citroen C1. In his own words, ‘It was myself in the car and other than a bit of concussion and a bruised elbow, I was very grateful to walk away from it.’

This incident underscores the paramount importance of reliable Roll Over Protection Systems (ROPS) in Motorsport. The C052 roll cage performed exactly as designed, preserving the structural integrity of the vehicle, and ensuring the driver’s safety. We are proud to have provided the crucial protection that enabled the driver to escape with minimal injuries.
