Pedro Piquet was competing in the second Porsche GT3 Cup race of the weekend in Goiânia, Brazil when disaster struck.

He made contact with Ricardo Baptista while running sixth and got up on two wheels. The second he hit the grass, the car started to roll and flipped violently through the air nine times.

He suffered minor injuries to his hand and some bruising.

The 17-year-old is currently 13th in the Brazilian Porsche GT3 Cup points after six rounds, scoring two podium results so far.

Next season, he will move to Europe to compete in the FIA European F3 Championship.
