Marco Simoncelli Sepang Crash Video, Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi Hit Simoncelli

Marco Simoncelli Sepang Crash Video:

Marco Simoncelli Sepang Crash Video.

Above is a video from youtube shows how the Marco Simoncelli accident result his dead on Sepang Malaysia MotoGP GrandPrix.
Organisers confirmed the 24-year-old had died after the race was cancelled following his crash on the second lap. Simoncelli fell and was hit by Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi as he slid across the track on his Honda.
The race was stopped after four minutes when Simoncelli’s bike veered across the track at turn 11 into the path of Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi.
The 24-year-old had his helmet knocked off and was hit by both other riders.

Marco Simoncelli Sepang Crash Video Died on MotoGP Sepang Malaysia 2011

Race director Paul Butler brought out the red-flags as the Italian and Monster Yamaha’s Colin Edwards were attended to by trackside doctors. As Simoncelli went down, his RC212V gripped and speared across the track into the path of Edwards who had nowhere to go. Initally, Simoncelli was laid in the middle of the track after his helmet had been ripped off in the accident but he arrived at the medical centre conscious.
Because the medical centre is giving its full focus to Simoncelli, it is not safe to run the race with no more cover if there is another accident and riders are injured. Edwards has suffered a dislocated shoulder and could well be ruled out of the Valencia round.

Simoncelli’s death is the first in the premier class since another Honda rider, Daijiro Kato, was killed at the 2003 Japanese Grand Prix.

New 2012 Toyota Camry Unveiled in Naples, Available in About 10 Colors

Germain Toyota of Naples unveiled the new 2012 Toyota Camry at a launch party on Wednesday in Naples.
The dealership formally launched the newest version of Toyota’s flagship with a special event to benefit the American Cancer Society’s breast cancer research initiatives.
The Camry Hybrid is a front wheel drive, four-door sedan with seating for five passengers. Available in two trim levels, LE and XLE, the heart of Camry Hybrid is the Hybrid Synergy Drive, a combination electric motor / gasoline engine that produces a combined 200-hp and efficient transmission, continuously variable electronic. The standard warranty for hybrid-related components is 8 years/100, 000 miles. The stability and traction control, ten airbags, antilock brakes with brake assist and control the pressure of the tires are among the standard safety equipment. Technical features include Bluetooth phone and audio streaming, garage door opener, rear camera, navigation with touch screen, HD and satellite radio, and the new Entune mobile application and service system.
The hybrid, on the other hand, gets a monumental 39% bump in fuel economy and, in a trick that defies convention, it does so with a larger and more powerful (200-hp) 2.5L engine. And, if Transport Canada’s 4.5-/4.9-L/100-km city/highway ratings are to be believed, the 2012 Camry Hybrid LE almost matches the previous-generation Prius for parsimony. Its overall 4.7 L/100 km is superior to the Kia/Hyundai/Ford hybrids, says Toyota Canada, and the upgraded 2012 version will also wax the Fusion and Sonata Hybrid in a drag race, not that your average enviroweenie condones such misbehaviour. Criticism for the hybrid is simply for Toyota’s decision to stick with old-fashioned nickel-metal-hydride batteries rather than the newer, more powerful lithium ion variety. Toyota says it was for reliability; a cynic might say it was to save money.
Camry models start at about $22,000, but the decked out showroom model was listed at just more than $32,000.
The other big news for 2012 is that the Camry’s pricing is reduced across the board. The base LE goes for $1,610 less than the 2011 ($23,700), while the top-of-the-line V6 XLE is $2,700 less at $33,700. It doesn’t take much of a reporter to figure out that Toyota Canada has felt the heat of Hyundai charging up behind it.

2012 Chevrolet Sonic Compact Sedan And Five-Door Hatchback From GM, Replacing Aveo

2012 Chevrolet Sonic is an all-new car developed with input from GM’s worldwide engineering operation. Replacing the Aveo in the slot beneath the Cruze in size, the Sonic will be available in both hatchback and sedan body styles.
