Some of you might remember a while back, some muppet managed to drive onto Brands Hatch during a race in his road car whilst filming it all.

There was some conversation about whether it was a fake or not:

Turns out it's not! And the drivers been in court about it...
 
James Davison takes a tumble at Road Atlanta. He would walk away "ok but beat up" in his words.

"So at this Rally, shall we stand somewhere safe, or shall we sit on this wall as close as possible on the exit of a high speed corner where there's likely to be a crash."
"Yeah, wall sounds good."

I was marshalling at that event today, and we heard reports that that Subaru was cutting the chicane. None of us knew how. NOW I know how!

All of those people are extremely lucky that they somehow miraculously did not get hit.

He didn't even attempt it :lol:

He got called up and used the excuse of "brake fade" to which willie replied " what about the other 4 times" :lol:

Joe is a great guy I have alot of time for him and a good mate.

This was his sump after it.

You're asking for trouble and a Darwin Award standing on the outside of a corner during a rally race. I've always made sure to be on the inside and a few meters away when I've attended.

This is one of the most UN-BE-LIE-VA-BLE things I have watched in my entire life.
 
Do not post the video (or any version of the video, or gif) that's been floating around of Jules Bianchi's accident as it's (depressing to say) possibly footage of an incident resulting in a fatality or strongly life altering situation. Out of respect for this sub-forum's rules. Thank you.
 

Not really seeing the OMG or WTF in this - I watched the first couple of minutes and all it is is low level drift meets where folks who fancy having a go at drifting don't get it quite right and spin.

The title of this thread is:

So its a clip of drifting fails.
 
Should I just post the entire 2014 Bathurst Video here?
 
That whole race was one big WTF moment. Wasn't it? :lol: :crazy:

Did not watch the whole race, but in the approx. hour and a half I did watch I saw three cars testing the same barrier for structural integrity. :boggled:
 
The preview frame for the second video in Tak's post makes me sad. :(

Final laps of the race were fantastic though 👍
