What was the biggest accident you ever had on a racing game? Mine was on Need for Speed Pro Street. I was driving in a top speed race on Nevada Desert B... I think. It was somewhere on Nevada anyway. I went over that jump at high speed in a Ford GT, and as I landed my car got out of shape, went off to the left and up the sandy bank at high speed. My car then rolled in the air about 3 times, before the nose burried into the ground and rolled another 3 on the ground before my car lended up lying totaled, upside down, in a ditch. So what was your biggest accident on a racing game?

PS: If you have a video of the accident, post it ( you don't have to) as a video says more than one-million words. But if you don't don't worry, words are good.
 
It'd probably be one of my many crashes in Grand Prix Legends.


None of those are mine, but I had many similar ones.

Indianapolis 500 on the Amiga was good for crashes too.
 
Well, I could nominate my experiences in the Crash Mode in Burnout 2, but that doesn't seem fair. :lol:

An example of the game and mode in question:
 
Couldnt find a good vid but my largest crash was on Toca 2/ V8 Supercars 2. I started at the top of the grip in a race in Sandown. I was battling it out and the end of the pit straight when the AI car pushed me into a tyre wall near the end of the straight. I flew backwards and owned just about every car behind me :dopey:
 
One of mine:

In terms of big realistic crashes, probably on Richard Burns Rally, had some good big ones there. Had a couple of reasonable ones on pro street, some good ones on GTR2 and a good one on Race 07 at pau.
 
Off the top of my head, for games with car damage it would probably have to be either when I parked a Panoz GTR-1 into the wall backwards at 130MPH (on the sweeping uphill right corner) at Lime Rock Park in Sports Car GT, or when I caused an 11 car pileup in Viper Racing by crashing into (and launching off of) a rock formation on the right side of the road in Silverdale (people who have played Viper Racing know exactly what I'm talking about).
The first time I played Rallisport Challenge, I drove off a mountain. And I once played Toca 2 by seeing how many laps I could do in reverse. But I don't think those count.

Sorry, I forgot to answer this when I first saw it. Lets not have Burnout crashes, as they are caused by purpose. They are meant to happen. Like I said in my post above, it doesn't do much justice to the word 'accident'!
 
I had a good one last night in terms of realism.

I was playing Live For Speed on the new South City track and started mid pack. As the light went out the guy infront of me bogged down so I was able to take him with ease, then the guy infront of him defended the inside line so I went for the outside. As we went round the turn however his car snapped out and his front left wheel tapped my right rear. Next thing I know I'm looking at flashes of grey and blue as I roll 3 or 4 times. Didn't tag anyone else thankfully.
 
There's two I've got videos of:

1. Is on Toca 3 in the lotus 49 at spa. In this case i hit the inside grass then the central grass and couldnt turn while trying to avoid position 19 car


2. GTR2, sent into the trees on fire in a lister.


BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY ONLY_IN_F1 SPUN OFF THE SCREEN NEAR THE START
 
The only ones I really remember are in (T)RD3.

My favourite was in a European V6 race (Clio V6s). I was hit from behind by the 3rd position car, which launched me into the back of the leading car, taking all three of us out of contention.
 
I'm in the process of making a whole crash video from GTR2. I'll post it here when its done.
 
My worst crash was in Burnout: Takedown. Took a jump, came down on another car, lost control and pulled a Nick Hogan.

That car wrapped as far around the tree as the game would permit.

This was not a crash mode "adventure" either​

And what song are you gonna use for BGM in the video? I would like to suggest "Crash" by Methods of Mayhem. ;)
 
I think, while testing an Escudo Pikes Peak for top speed at the Test Track in GT2...well, it hit the wall and spun like a top.

I may have also caused the Big One at Daytona in a NASCAR game.

What else...what...Oh, yeah, I've caused a few interesting wrecks in Microsoft Train Simulator...the ballistics on those freight cars are pretty wild.

I was going to use 'crash' by Papa Roach actually :lol:
 
Infact that's not a bad idea. It'd certainly add a minor element of humour to the video. I couldnt stop laughing when it was posted in the F1 picture caption game. :lol:
 
Skid Mark I know your intentions are good and all but you make me cry sometimes.
