Two cars were badly damaged in a dramatic crash during the Battle of the Belts racing event in Antigua on Sunday.

The vehicles flipped near the finish line, leaving spectators stunned.

Both drivers walked away without injury, protected by safety cages mandated by the Antigua and Barbuda Drag Racing Association.

Officials believe a slippery racing surface may have caused the accident. Heavy rain the previous day left dust and pebbles on the track, creating hazardous conditions.

An investigation is under way. Racing organisers have been urged to review safety protocols to prevent future incidents.
