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

[jimipitbull]

Bathurst 1987, Peter Brock. Wet track, slick tires. Brock finishes 3rd over the line, but is awarded the win 8 months later due to illegal modifications on the Ford Sierras that were ahead of him

One of these 3 Citroen WTCC drivers used to be a rallying superstar. Can you guess which one?

Was he actually faster thru that sector?

Was he actually faster thru that sector?

My unscientific method had him at almost half a second slower between the end of the yellow chevrons and the resurfaced section.

I don't think I've seen this before so I'm guessing it's not in this thread already... apologies if it is.

This is one of those days when the course just goes the wrong way.

 

[Bo]

This was so entertaining I had to record it.

Valentino Rossi getting through a gap that you shouldn't be able to get a bike through. In a car.

That's brilliant! When Daughter #1 was about three she was sitting being a racing driver and making a funny "sshhhhump" noise on the gear changes. Silly mummy asked her what it was, "It's the dump valve Mummy!" was the reply. Silly mummy didn't know what one was. I was glad I divorced her for that amongst other reasons.

This is an OMG rather than a WTx, an old Fiat having its engine started.

As if that wasn't unusual enough.... it's a 28.5 litre engine. O. M. G.

Selling my headphones, almost new, some blood stains. I don't need them anymore. Contact for price.

Holy!!! That made me jump and I had sound down!

As soon as he started cranking it I noticed the "exhausts" and went for the volume button, but alas, I was too late. It was beautiful though.

Definitely going to look it up when that date rolls by.

I'm not sure they're "exhausts" so much as portals to the fires of hell themselves. And yes, can't wait to watch the full thing

@GTracer98 asked for a clip of how bad Plato can be... that sums it up.

Syncronized Porsche spinning

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

 

[Jahgee]

Such a 🤬 move

Yep. I've always thought he is a knob ever since watching 90's BTCC in my childhood.

June 29th, 1984. The driver was ok, she lived and continued racing but suffered severe injuries. But also, flying engine.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Such a 🤬 move

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...
