Lando Norris breaks Verstappen's 1st place trophy

 

[Dylan]

A wheel came off a car at Goodwood today and landed in the crowd along side the track. 2 people were struck but no serious injury’s reported.

 

[Dylan]

Driver was alright.

 

[PaMu1337]

Driver was alright.

Pretty well managed, but I bet that wall hit was a little bit harder than he intended 😅

 

[Liquid]

Good thing he had HANS.

 

[Obelisk]

That looked like a painful hit, but I have to give him credit for having the presence of mind to throw the car into the wall away from his rivals and get it stopped safely.

Here’s what happens if the wing fails on a winged sprint car. Driver okay.

Guess those wings are not as ridiculous as they look

 

[Dylan]

More Sprint car shenanigans.

Edit: found video of accident that dosent have swearing.

Dodge Tomahawk: "I am the most excessively unnecessary thing to exist"
TMC Dumont: "Allow me to introduce myself"

Also, I can't be the only one that's abit concerned about the exposed nature of that engine (Especially behind the Front wheel).

 

[Liquid]

The tyres look way too small for those wheels.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Is it a coincidence that the whole clip is the bike going in basically a straight line?

 

[TheCracker]

Hubless wheels are the answer to the question that nobody asked. Unless the question was how to make something simple that works well overly complicated and heavier and probably less efficent.

It's NASCAR, these folks haven't cared about track limits for years. Why would they now?

Except the yellow line on the inside of Ovals. That seems to be a no-no

Some tracks they do enforce it. They enforce it at COTA and at another location at Watkins Glen.

The yellow line on restrictor plate ovals (Daytona and Talladega basically, which only exist because the noise made about people going below it), otherwise it's non-existant elsewhere. I was talking Road Courses where it for the most part doesn't exist outside the chicane at the Glen.

Ryan Preece flipped at least 10 times in this terrifying wreck, including four consecutive flips in the air, at the end of today's Daytona 500. He was able to get out of the car, and is currently at a local hospital for an overnight observation.

I haven’t that sort of a wreck for a quite while in NASCAR. Just insane.

 

[Earth]

That was like a videogame crash

They'll probably pave that part of the track now

Some sad news to report didn't know where else to put it:

Vesti pulls a reverse Buemi as both his rear wheels decide to depart the car.

I wanted to pop on Bagnaias crash from earlier since he's now confirmed to be recovering in hospital but not sure how mods feel about it? He did take a bike to the leg.

I think it's not against the rules, but it's quite nasty to see, and given that he is in the hospital, I would argue it's a bit in bad taste to post it here.

No worries, I'll leave be.
