Actor Leandro Lima, 40, Levi in the soap opera “Pantanal”, flipped his car during a stretch of a race at the Sertões International Rally. He wasn’t hurt, as he was wearing all the safety equipment, and he says it was all a scare. It was the first time he participated in the competition as a guest.
“I didn’t hurt anything at all, I wasn’t even sore. If I drive my car from São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro I get knee pain and I didn’t feel anything there”, he said in an interview with GShow.
“When the car rolls over, you can’t think much about it. We did safety training the day before and the car is very safe, you stay in a fully adjusted seat, the seat belt has four points, you wear a helmet, balaclava, fireproof coveralls and neck protector. I went out the window, we turned the car around”, he said.
The only “scolding” he got was from his wife, Flávia Lucini. “I called her half laughing as soon as the car turned, I sent the video and she was making fun of me thinking I had braked on the curve, but in fact there was a gap that made the car roll over. She kept calling me a stiff arm”, said.
Even after what happened, he and his navigator friend completed the route. Not even the rollover makes him give up the idea of participating more often in the Sertões International Rally. “I was just sad because we ended up wasting time to finish the race.”
