I'd imagine this is a repost considering it's one of the biggest OMG's I've ever seen in motorsport:



Nobody was seriously injured and even more surprisingly only 2 drivers were unable to take the restart.

Can we try and look at all these video's and count how many times a Ferrari causes an accident

There were 2 crashes at British GT's on Monday, both involving 458's.

That was really Simons misjudgement. But THIS is epic.

Was that the Ferrari's fault though?

Who cares, they're accident magnets.

 

[pyrates]

Who cares, they're accident magnets.

Yeah I guess that's true.

I felt weird to hear a F1 sound on an MPV. Well, that's when you get when you stick in an F1 engine inside an Espace.

Hopefully this is not a repost but this happened during a VW Cup race at Oulton Park about a week ago after the car's front brakes failed. The car went over the barrier and plummeted down the bank. The driver suffered minor injuries though but is now completely fine. The car is a write off.

I guess this goes here. I posted this in the GT racing thread earlier.

 

[neljack]

Fairly certain this year is going to remembered as the year of constant start line crashes, here's another horrifying one. All ok.

 

[G.T.Ace]

The Audis were braking instead of accelerating and I'd really like to know what Thiim was thinking when he pulled into the Corvette. He has pain in his hip and legs, but nothing serious.

 

[Samus]

I know it's the main straight where accidents are uncommon but I'm surprised that small bank in front of the barrier is there, it seems like it'd always be likely cars would be lifted with any contact, just as they did.

 

[GTDriver1230]

Uh... What? They have official scooter races? This won't go well...

 

[NFSCARBON1]

Those scooter races look like amazing fun, and despite the scary looking crashes, most of the riders just get back up and get riding!

 

[Bo]

They look absolutely lethal

 

[Prince.M5]

The guy at around 2:52 in that Cub Prix video.. Hahaha!

I almost felt bad for laughing at that. Almost.

 

[pyrates]

Ok, this is not a crash in the most literal way but hilarious.

 

[Clark]

This is just silly fast.

 

[tomhart9]

Awesome save trying to set the road car record on the Isle of Man TT course (he did)

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Isn't that Higgins and Craig Drew?

 

[daan]

Isn't that Higgins and Craig Drew?

I don't know.

Yes, it would seem to be.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

David** Higgins and Craig Drew.





How many rally Higgins are there? I had seen this one before, and wrongly believed that Higgins was the same Higgins.


Of course, it doesn't help that they're both from Isle of Man...

And possibly brothers?

Edit:

Confirmed, they are brothers.

 

[Clark]

They are brothers and both very accomplished rally drivers.
