Motorsport OMG / WTF moments - Racing Funnies, Fails, Crashes, And Randomness

[Lizard]

Onboard of my qualifying lap from yesterdays VLN race at the nurburgring + nordschleife.

I set pole position in the Porsche GT3 Cup class but look what happened at the end of the lap...

Nice save. I do that on gt5 and I go into the wall 9 times out of 10.

And congrats on the pole.

That is one of the better saves I have ever seen, opposite lock both ways, impressive!

@Chris
Nice save with, let me guess, 270+ km/h? Btw. the car seems a bit narrow for you or is it normal that the helmet nearly touches the car roof?

 

[Christhedude]

thanks, well im 193cm or 6.4 feet so im on the limit height wise

telemetry showed that the car came sideways at 245km/h

Not the speed you want to go sideways with
Nice save indeed. 👍

Thanks for clearing that up, i watched the lap in 720p and fullscreen now and have seen the 245 on your speed indicator now. 👍

The joy in the end was cause you heard over teamradio, you got the pole position, right?

You ever landed on your roof? I hope you have enough space for that!

Saw that on the news today...



Wild and epic. How NASCAR should be...

How on earth did he walk away from that...amazing.

Probably because in that day he decided to wear a racing suit (wich are fire proof) instead of driving naked...

 

[JohneyPixel]

This one is scary



and this is more of a LOL moment

1. Racing suits are Fire-resistant, not fire-proof. Very few things are fire-proof.

2. His suit is the main reason he didn't get burned, but. also...when engines explode like that, it's usually pretty short. You can tell that as soon as the body was gone, the fire was pretty much out. And the air current from the moving car helped to further extinguish the flames. By the time he was stopped the fire was completely out. In that situation, I'd have the same reaction he probably did: A lot of cussing because my day was done.

Thanks I lacked the vocabulary to express myself correctly 👍

Castle Combe's infield is literally that, a corn field. Cars often have contact an fly into the field. It also catches fire often. When it is high in the summer, you just cannot find cars in there.

 

[Sier_Pinski]

Not too OMG/WTF, but I don't know where else to put this:

Helmet cam during the start of an actual F1 race:

[Antonisbob]

I said "OMG" when they both broke & Heartbeat's rear axle came off. Monster Trucks today just can't compare!

 

[Sier_Pinski]

^I'm telling you, the only thing that can defeat a monster truck...is the monster truck's own ridiculous, fragile concept itself.

The cars look so pretty when they're pulled out of the field of oilseed rape! I bet they smell great too!

Hm, this is annoying. It keeps displaying a green screen every time I click on it. All the other Youtube Videos works and I've been to Youtube to play the same thing and it is still green.

Anyone knows why?

 

[MagpieRacer]

Right click video, untick "enable hardware acceleration" Refresh and try again.

 

[Submerged]

Just tried that.

Doesn't work at all, just makes it totally blank and black.

I am really quite surprised at why it doesn't seem to work at all. Hm, dodgy codec perhaps?

Just change the quality from 360p to 240p! Then it works fine.

That's what the drivers saw too...

Ferrari's boss is looking for management tips from Apple's boss.

He could probably learn more about aero from Apple than he can from Ferrari's in-house aero department, too.

Why post that here?

Ah yeah sorry, unticking hardware acceleration solves the green screen you may get on some videos, forgot to mention as someone has now said, that vid also needs to be 240.
