The massive accident that nearly killed Alex Zanardi in Germany a week ago will be repeated on a computer.
Steve Olvey, a founder of the CART medical team, says the Italian's crash will be analysed when the series returns to the United States for any clues to improve car safety.
"We reconstruct all of our crashes now that involve an injury," he said at the Rockingham 500 race in central England at the weekend.
"They are very sophisticated computer models that duplicate the crashes so that we can work with different changes in the car and in driver-protection areas to prevent injuries in the future".
Zanardi, twice CART champion, was hit by Canadian Alex Tagliani's speeding car after the Italian spun out of the pit lane on to the track at the Lausitzring.
Tagliani had no chance of avoiding Zanardi's Honda, and the impact at close to 320kph destroyed the car.
Zanardi lost a huge amount of blood and had both legs amputated in hospital.
