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

[RACECAR]

I didn't know F1 had its own share of numb nuts:

^ The second guy ran into the Ferrari garage and asked to drive the car!

^ The second guy ran into the Ferrari garage and asked to drive the car!

And I bet that he would do a better job than Luca Badoer. Zing!

Ok, I'm just kidding, but still, you need a good pair of gentleman's parts to just jump the railings, go all the way to pitlane and still ask a professional F1 racing team to drive their multi-million dollar F1 car...

^ The second guy ran into the Ferrari garage and asked to drive the car!

What...how...

The severe lack of logic in any of this is just burning my braincells.

He did indeed, he was clearly mad. Not least because it was a terrible car.

 

[G.T.Ace]

 

[Barra333]

Yikes! I puckered up a couple of times there!

 

[RACECAR]

Definitely a few Sphincter tightening moments there.

 

[DK]

Hmmm...reflexes befitting a Jedi, this man has.

If you look closely he was actually holding a contract for the Sauber.

I'd recommend putting that in the brilliant racing videos thread. That's crazy driving!

 

[Lewis_Hamilton_]

Santa Pod?

Correct!

Yep, Top Fuel is the single greatest noise experience there is, I'm only going for the Saturday since I'm at Rockingham for the BTCC on Sunday.

Absolutely, and also the afterburner shockwaves from the jet cars too.

Ok, so I like to think I at least know my way around computers and the internet a fair deal, but apparently not and I've been using them for 20+ years. On any forum that embeds twitter or facebook posts, it just shows as a big blank space with no content. Anyone know how to fix this? Still get the problem when I disable Peerblock, adblock etc.

 

[GTDriver1230]

Not exactly a WTF or an OMG video, but I thought I'd drop this here:

 

[carracerptp]

The footage is speeded up. Impressive but not that impressive.

Same for me. Does anyone have a link to the original video, or a Youtube version? Even just the name of the series, track and driver would be enough and I'll find it myself.

True, I'm usually quick in noticing it, thought it seemed faster because of the camera, but you're right.
Here's a direct link to it though: facebook.com/crankandpiston/videos/10153716195992259/

Videos should be up soon - Ferdinand Habsberg just had the most frightening of crashes at Silverstone.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

I've never seen a car get that high

 

[Famine]

Yeah, just removed two posts.

As far as I'm aware, one of the drivers is at the medical centre right now. Also as far as I'm aware, WSR cars don't have the suspension travel to cope with a thirty foot vertical drop flat onto wheels and the driver is unlikely to be entirely unaffected by it.

Let's wait until he is confirmed fine, eh?

 

[Bo]

Both drivers walked away and waved to the crowd. Habsberg was limping slightly and therefore was told to sit down by the marshals to wait for the ambulance, where he was duly taken to the medical centre for checks. Barnicoat has been confirmed OK, it's just Ferdinand's foot/leg that troubled him - likely from the initial impact with Ben.

 

[TenEightyOne]

Nasty nasty nasty

 

[tomhart9]

I think I can work out what crash you guys are talking about! I too have read they're both OK.

Quite a scary crash! Could have been much worse.

 

[Bo]

Just in case people were really still wondering if he was OK:

 

[RACECAR]

Holy 🤬

I've never seen a car do that before. How the hell did that not end worse then it did? That was amazing.

 

[Barra333]

Not sure how it went up, but the best thing that happened was that the car didn't land on its wheels.

 

[m8h3r]

I youtubed the video earlier after it was removed as per aup and it was a nasty crash. Luckily the guy is ok and not with a broken back or worse even.

[twitcher]

Check out the announcers comments between 8:10 to 8:20....first time I've heard that term in regards to racing

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Gangbang Chevrolet Sonics are the top most dangerous type of Chevrolet Sonics you will ever encounter, although I was never aware that you could actually gangbang someone else with them, haha.

 

[Bo]

They must get along really well as teammates.
