Does Banger racing count or is it only "proper" racing?
(i use the term loosely as i think bangers is proper racing but many dont)

Ah yes, some retard leaving the turn 4 gate open, exactly the same place as Waltrip in the 80's.

more like 1990. and now Bristol has a tunnel under the track. no more gate. (they did it to Martinsville as well, for the same reason. ppl were wrecking into the gates causing absolute carnage)

Re: Worst Auto Racing wreck ever?
just remember this one
heres the story
heres the story
During the second round of the 1998 JGTC at Fuji Speedway, with 47,000 spectators in attendance of the 67 lap race,[3] the race was held in torrential rain with limited visibility. Following the parade lap, the safety car drove through the starting line at 150 km/h (93 mph), suddenly slowed down,[2] causing 910 Racing's Porsche 911 RSR of Tomohiko Sunako to aquaplane and strike into the rear of Kaoru Hoshino's 911 GT2. Of the GT300 cars, the third car in front of the Porsches (and 22nd on the grid)[4], the BMW M3 of Yasushi Hitotsuyama, behind, managed to avoid the Porsche by driving onto the grass and then back to the circuit, while the Porsche struck into a barrier and rested on the grass.[2] A caution flag was waved out.
Seconds later, the Team Ferrari Club of Japan's Ferrari F355 Challenge of Ota, slowed down, causing his car to aquaplane and swerve left directly onto the Porsche; both exploded into a fireball on impact as a result.[2] The Ferrari, after hitting the wall, slid across to the other side of the track and rested at the pit stop exit; another Porsche swerved to avoid Ota.
Luckily, the driver of the blazing Porsche managed to stumble out of his car with a fractured right leg and was shortly attended by rescue officials.[3]
Shortly, the RE Amemiya RX-7 of Shinichi Yamaji stopped in front of the Ferrari while the other cars drove on, he took a fire extinguisher from his own car to extinguish the fire and then helped to release Ota's safety harness before marshals arrived.[5][3]
Ota was trapped in his car for almost 90 seconds while exposed to 800-degree temperatures and had to be dragged out of the car by a safety marshal,[2] to lay him on the ground, while his charred visor melted on his face. Ota while attempting to get up, at first fell; in another attempt, another marshal spotted Ota and picked him up to be bundled to the circuit's minivan, rather than the ambulance.
The race was to be rescheduled to a shortened 51 lap race, but thick fog rolled in over the circuit causing the race to be delayed. Organizers waited, hoping that the weather would improve, but by 17:00 the organizers announced that the race was officially called off and all results were voided.[3] Ota was taken to a hospital in Gotemba[3] where he was treated for third-degree burns to his face and neck area and minor burns to the rest of the body, but was fortunate to survive. He required plastic surgery to the nasal area as a result of the visor melting on his face. He also suffered from intoxication from the fumes he inhaled from the fire.
He was unable to function his right arm, right shoulder and fingers properly, causing an end to his professional career.[2]

How [Bad language is not tolerated - Mod Team] were the stewards man? If it hadnt been for that other driver stopping to put out the fire the guy would have died. And I can't believe the way they just left him on the floor once he was out the car all alone trying to get up in his condition! So lucky to be alive right now.

More to the point how the HELL did the car burst into flames as easily as it did. I've never seen cars go up like that. It didn't even look that hard a crash really.
Absolutely awful!

Re: Worst Auto Racing wreck ever?
That is pretty much as bad as it gets without someone being killed.
Some other camera angles of the crash in this reveiw video, the onboard from the MR2 negotiating through the weckage is terrifying, he must have thought it was armageddon!

pretty useless job by the marshals- how the hell did it just go up in flames? It looked almost as if there were gas tanks inside the cars

Re: Worst Auto Racing wreck ever?
That man is a true hero and represents how motorsport should be, he took out of account the race and his points and standings and stopped to help another racer in a desperate time of need. If i was the guy in the Ferrari, i would've never been able to do anything to ever thank or repay the RX-7 driver enough. god bless men like him.Richy59 wrote:Thats incredible, I can't believe he lived that.

Heres one of the biggest from Banger Racing this year,
The guy was pinned in his car, barely able to breath, by the steering wheel and had to be cut out of the car, after which he was fine.
