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

[Jahgee]

Is it just me or is this Kyle Busch the American equivalent of Jason Plato? They are both known to have explosive personalities and extremely agressive behaviour on the racetrack. If I didn't know any better, I'd say Kyle shaped his style based on Plato's driving...

Is Jason Plato one of the best drivers ever talent wise, but unable to pull through when it matters most in terms of getting a Championship? If so, then yes

Ok, maybe there's that to consider too.

Heh... that's not a million miles away, and although he does have 2 BTCC titles (2001 and 2010), in 16 seasons he's had 4 runner up finishes and 6 3rd place title finishes.

He also tried getting in to NASCAR in the early '00s, but never even got close.

Syncronized Porsche spinning

Note, even if the video title says so, this didn't happen in Oschersleben.

Do you know the actual name of that circuit?

44 minutes of Bathurst crashes.

Very early on you'll see a horse at trackside and one notable crash where the pillars just collapse with the car on its roof; driver somehow unhurt.

I am still amazed that the crash right on 5:00 didn't kill the guy.

There are several in the 60s/70s where I have seen several times and still dont believe the footage, some truly horrifying action and dumb luck outright,

 

[Liquid]

@Barra333 5:25 and you really wonder.

 

[GTDriver1230]

Looks very challenging, I wonder if I can do something like this on GTR2 or RFactor. Or I could just boot up DiRT 1 again.

 

[Johnny1996]

According to the description, the driver was "shaken up but uninjured."

Holy crap. This looks like something out of a horror movie

I would post a picture of Yuji Ide and Pastor Maldonado as a superlicense fail but I think the FIA might be insulted.

#50 Daytona Prototype from the Roar Before the 24 testing this morning. Driver walked away with no injuries after that crash at 190mph.

And now on today's edtion of "One of these things is not like the others"... Seriously, how did that get in there!?

 

[Cano]

worse thing is, it seemed to behave fairly well for it's size and, well, 6 wheels

A Dubsta 6x6 that took a wrong turn in Los Santos maybe?

No, the one in the video looks way too subtle for that.

 

[GTPorsche]

That Brabus gets put out on trackdays quite often.

 

[Liquid]

I've seldom found music and F1 synching up so well.

 

[DK]

Seeing all of those backmarkers spin out is making me miss F1Rejects even more.

Ha! I was not expecting to see that. Awesome.

 

[Clark]

Oldie but goodie.

 

[TDZdave]

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Well that's one way of having close racing, although I fear that they took that idea way too seriously...

Also that fast start at the beginning of the video was hilarious. Guy couldn't wait to crash, could he? And that YT channel sounds about right, it could only be a redneck sport. Yeeeehaaw!
