Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Balls of steel.  Camerman didn't even flinch...just keep filming, this is gonna be good!

Not quite - at 0.53 you see that he dove away from the camera when the second car landed on the tire bundle next to him. But he soon rushed back and did that final pan back to it.
Still, awesome work to stay with the first impact, and I think he did the right thing diving out of the way for the second car!

I guess he wasn't using a wide angle lens to see the "big" picture.  :)

Funny, how he goes to back to work after jumping out of the way like nothing happened.

Astounding race footage, btw.
