The red and black coloured car of Teixeira fortunately landed the right way up and on to a strip of the lane which was not part of the race. The car then slid to the racing area with sparks from the rear and hit another driver before coming to a halt.

However, against all odds the Portugese-Angolan driver walked away from the wreckage with only a saw neck and shoulder.

One unnamed official said “He is very fortunate not to have landed upside down or to have landed on another car as that could have resulted in serious injuries”

Teixeira’s crash resulted in four other drivers crashing out of the race.

Teixeira who spoke to Autosport said “I had a good exit and boosted, so I was catching a lot. I went to the middle and he moved to block, and then slowed. I just hit the back of his gearbox and went straight up,

“At first all I was thinking was how I was angry at him, then I realised I was up in the air and turning and I looked down and thought I can see all the cars down there”

“I saw where I was going to land and just crossed my arms for the hit, but it wasn’t too bad.”

Teixeira continued “It’s a very strange feeling, I wasn’t scared, everything goes very slow and it feels like it’s not you, like you shouldn’t be part of it,”.

The race was eventually won by Austrian Philipp Eng, who is leading the new championship’s standings.
