Las Vegas Motor Speedway
On October 16, 2011, the final race of the 2011 IndyCar season, the IZOD IndyCar World Championship, was held at Las Vegas. However, the race was halted by a horrific crash on lap 11 that involved 15 cars, some of which became airborne, and some of which burst into flames. The crash began when Wade Cunningham made light contact with James Hinchcliffe, but the situation turned into a big pile-up of cars. The crash allowed a red flag to be waved almost instantly, due to the remains of the damaged cars and the amount of debris on the track.
Ico-D
In March 2002, the Icograda Design Week took place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and consisted of the "Environs'002: Design Without Borders" "Design Perspectives" seminar and a North American Regional Meeting. Smaller versions of the "Design Perspectives" seminar were also hosted in Victoria, Canada, as well as in Seattle, USA. The Icograda Design Week in Brno took place from 17–21 June in the Czech Republic. The event included "Over the fence: Design in Central and Eastern Europe" "Design Perspectives" seminar, a Regional Meeting attended by delegates from eight countries, the "Identity/Integrity Icograda Conference", "East Meets West, Icograda Student Workshop", a symposium and inauguration of the Icograda Education Network (IEN) and a workshop to conceptualise the formation of the International Design Media Network (IDMN). The Design Week was further preceded by a joint meeting of the boards of Icograda, ICSID and IFI, resulting in the conceptualisation of the International Design Alliance (IDA) and the Host City Project to establish a joint Icograda/ICSID Secretariat.
