This happened during the Pikes peak hill climb. It was all over the news.

(first video already posted in thread, removed from post)

Here's a new view:


EDIT: And here's the onboard views. You can probably hear the drivers screaming as they fall, unless they are the spectators.



From time to time I check the Texas Rallysport facebook page to see how Yuri, an old friend and competitor from Houston, is doing and came across this...

"From Brianne-- "Our thoughts and prayers are with Jeremy Foley, his co-driver Yuri Kouznetsov and the whole Evo-D crew right now. Jeremy went off the mountain in a heart wrenching kind of way. They are walking around but the extent of his injuries are still unknown. May God watch over them in this time of need."

...and then I saw the videos. Damn.
 
Women drivers, or how to start a fire with a rally car:



There's a better view here from ~1:23 in:



Ramona Karlsson missed the turn and shot down an access road. She backed out, but slipped over the edge of the road and could not get back up onto the tarmac. At this point the hot exhaust ignited the dry grass.
 
It was the female photographers fault...

Not really anything to do with motorsport, but its related..

 
When I was at Camberley Kart Club today it rained torrentially for 40mins, and the first corner flooded from water running down a hill. They however proceeded with the Jnr Rotax race. I took some video (it was on my phone so not that good quality).

 
:lol:
I would LOVE to race in that.

At this one kart race for qualy the kart would lose speed on the straight because of all the standing water, it was brutal.

One of them, (the white one at the beginning who kicked up the huge splash dented his whole front in on the kart, he said it was like hitting a tyre barrier when he hit the water, it was a good 3-4 inches where he hit it.
 
Re: Mark Webber ad.

Yeah, we've put up with the 2 ads he did for too long now. They'd better shoot some new ones soon. On the other hand, it's good to see someone at that level in a profession still doing ads for their hometown produce.

And before any of the Aussies try shooting me down, I know that technically he doesn't come from Canberra, but it's only 30 seconds to Queanbeyan (literally) and that's close enough.

Am I missing something here? Because I don't find anything particularly out of the ordinary with the first and third videos.
 
I'm with Schwartz :lol: The rally crashes seem just like regular rally crashes to me :lol:
The super GT one is scary though :crazy:
 
Did you guys see this?



4 crew member hurt on DTM Zandvoort Friday practice.

All ok as far as I heard. Only one had to stay in the hospital overnight but no major injuries fortunately.

... Wow. That's a big miss of the "line".

I was watching it live and the commentator said one guy had a broken nose and teeth.. :guilty: And if you look carefully you see that metalthing slamming his head.


:lol:

Massive crash at the Nurburgring from my team mate from last saturdays race.



Notice the driver of the white car (Ginetta G50?) already banging into the side of the Megane pretty much, so he was already pretty erratic.
 
:50 - Leaders crash while battling for the lead

3:10 - Helmet throwing incident

4:50 - Threat

What a loser.

'I don't even care about the helmet, uh uh uh.'

It's not even funny, he should control his anger!
