S19 F3 Benelux Series - Wilsean Dahir walks away from huge crash at Spa-Francorchamps

Wilsean Dahir finished 3rd at the sprint race and started there for the feature race, Dahir had an amazing start, jumped up to 2nd place then at Raidillon (after Eau Rouge), made a small mistake allowing Vanderhaeghen back into 2nd place, Conroy into 3rd then De Sloper found himself in the wrong place, wrong time, went too close to the diffuser of Dahir's car, forcing Dahir sideways and later having a huge impact head-on into the guardrail, front end of the car already damaged, spinning the car into the wall again, before spinning 360 degrees two times before grinding into a halt on the middle of the Kemmel Staright, deploying the safety car staright away, thankfully Wilsean Dahir was able to get out of the car and have a chat with the press.
Wilsean, huge crash out there, thankfully you're ok, explain what it looked like out there.
The car had a hefty whack, it's good that the MRC and Dallara crew pushed the safety limits otherwise I don't think I would've been out of the car.
It's doing damage to your title hopes now, you're in contention for the title, after this it drops you down to 5th in the championship and it's only your first retirement of the season, how are you going to respond?
Yep, we've been consistent this season but we weren't lucky at the start and to get a good result streak is good but it's over now and I will need to start all over again. Leo is running away with the championship so if I work more on my driving skills, hopefully I can close the gap, maybe i'll consider that it'll be emergency training. Hopefully it hasn't mentally scarred me but I got some bruises but they will pass, so i'll say it did physically a little bit haha.
When do you think your first professional win will come?
When Leo's engine blows up (laughs hard).

It's good to see Wilsean out there smiling after what just happened but here comes the 2nd half of the season...

To be continued....
