A Super2 driver hit and completely knocked over a heavy concrete barrier after losing control in a scary smash near the end of qualifying at the Adelaide 500.

From then on, Goodall was a passenger in his ZB Commodore as he was unable to slow down the car with no braking power as he cannoned towards the turn four barriers.

The Gomersall Motorsport driver struck the edge of the concrete barrier with such force that it tipped right over.
