  • The 2001 American Memorial was a Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) motor race held on September 15, 2001 at the EuroSpeedway Lausitz in Klettwitz, Germany. It was the 16th round of the 2001 CART season and the first race in the series to be held in Europe. Originally known as the German 500, the race's name was changed by CART in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks. Kenny Brack won the race for Team Rahal; his teammate Max Papis finished in second place, and Patrick Carpentier was third. The race is remembered for an accident involving Alex Zanardi and Alex Tagliani that led to the amputation of both of Zanardi's legs. Zanardi led the race when he made a pit stop with 12 laps remaining. Upon leaving the pits, he lost control of his car, which turned sideways onto the circuit. Tagliani crashed into Zanardi's car, splitting the chassis into two pieces. Both drivers were taken to a Berlin hospital; Zanardi had a fractured pelvis and a concussion in addition to his amputations, while Tagliani was not severely injured.
