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

[ITCC_Andrew]

The guys starting in last, "I'll just cut through the pit exit, and say 'cheers, guys,' I'm on my way to Formula 1!"


I love getting free positions when everyone else crashes.

Can we post things featuring motorsport figures, but not particularly within real, on-track action? I suppose so, I have seen posts about Kimi Raikkonen tripping and stuff like that.


Anyway, just putting this in. What if Michael Schumacher competed in the Olympic Games during the times of Ancient Greece?



There's Jean Todt as team principal as well, or....err...whatever you would call the role he's taking in the context of the era.

That.... Is ........ Brilliant.

4 wide and they didn't touch once, just insane.

Anyone else think that if that had been GP2, all four end up as little bits of carbon fibre? Impressive stuff.

Definitely, no doubt about it.

Just imagine that in an online race in most public racing games. It'd be blocking, weaving and ramming galore.

 

[Rossell2]

Yep and when the race starts you brake as hard as you can on a part of the track no-one races on so everyone passes you into the first corner, collide and crash then you just pick up 7 odd places in one corner.

Thats what I do

Rule #1: blocking doesn't work in open wheel cars that go above 60 mp/h.

Rule #2: people will break rule #1.

Rule #3: 2013 will not be a good year for GP2, because of Rule #2.

The only real OMG/WTF moment comes early in the video, and the rest are pretty much something that is good fun to watch.

I see one or two; shifting up with the left hand with a flappy paddle gearbox? And that "N" that never goes away. What's wrong with that car? OMG/WTF were they thinking when they put that gearbox together. Otherwise, I've seen more interesting races.

Also he isn't wearing any racing gloves.

 

[Samus]

What a bizarre mixture of cars as well.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

This is something one may or may not be able to relate to, but the first time you go out on a racetrack in a car... you'll be saying OMG/WTF. I promise, I've just done a track day. PM if you want video.


But, as for a video of a moment you can relate to, how about this?

Blinding rain. Just, umm, mute the music for swearing.

In time for the Canadian GP, here is a Mini crashing at the Wall of Champions.





Camera in car with crash at 8:12.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

^ I love Canadian Touring Cars... But, I wish I had seen the MINI. (edit: during my trip to Mosport)

Apologies if this is a repost, but I haven't seen it come up while searching.

Leh Keen takes us on a lap, helmet cam and all, during the 2013 Nurburgring 24h, moments prior to the race being red flagged. Prepare to be amazed.

 

[Shoe67]

That is some true driving. And visibility is even worse in person than it is on camera.

I think I saw that on the Nurburgring 24H highlights show on motors TV.

 

[Spacegoat]

That is phenomenal driving in those conditions.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Not OMG or WTF, but listen at 0:17, it's priceless.

Hehe, 'Oh Dear', it seemed one has crashed into ones wall.

[Mac K]

Was that serious? Looked more like a playful joke.

 

[ND4SPD]

Oh he was serious. That's why they call him Mad Max!

This reminds of this picture.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Is there any footage of that crash at all anywhere? ^^^

 

[Prince.M5]

I am interested to know what actually happened to the Ferrari for years already, and who was behind the wheel?
