On this day in 1996, a high-speed horror crash pushes Emerson Fittipaldi into retirement
However, his American open-wheel racing career was suddenly cut short at the 1996 Marlboro 500 in Michigan, when he hit the barriers at more than 190mph, sustaining fractured vertebrae and a collapsed lung.
Fittipaldi made a full recovery and – despite his initial insistence on continuing – never raced in CART again. His only subsequent outings were at the short-lived Grand Prix Masters series in 2005 and 2006 and a one-off appearance in the 2014 6 Hours of São Paulo.
