it was scary as hell, seeing it happen in live broadcast. just shows how much luck can play a role in such situation, you can see how some even crouch down, try to protect themselves from any bits of car landing on them
It is undesputably a blessing that all of them didn't get seriously injured that day, but to me, it seems very unreasonable that they were there in the first place. Looks like this is a high-speed section of the track into a sharp turn, and they are right behind the barrier that is barely taller than the cars themselves.
Davidson climbed out of that car with a broken back. That Super GT crash blows my mind. The fact he was able to avoid hitting the slower car is insane.
The car in front was using an incredibly dirty tactic to keep his lead in the most unsafe manner as well. The intention was clear that he was using 100% of whatever slipstream he could get but whether the intention was there to make it that last second move so someone else could crash out should've been a few race suspensions and a fine. The reaction time to avoid that car is less than a second and is pure drivers instinct to move and trust the car to have the ability to do so. An accident that was 100% avoidable.
@tkurisuu I don't really see that being the case. I believe he was just going for slip. When you're racing I don't believe that's anyone's intentions. I'm not saying its not the case at all, but it's possible he was going for slip, checked mirrors as you are always doing while racing, looked back to see how quickly he approached the slow moving car and avoided contact himself. It's hard to judge others speeds from inside your car at times
The slow motion was one thing, but at full speed the impact was brutal. It really puts into perspective how fast things can happen as he had basically zero time to react.
This is Pre-HANS Device. That head and upper body movement is difficult to look at now. I also think this says a lot about purpose-designed prototypes, because there are NASCAR and Touring Car drivers who didn't survive side impacts like this
@@mostlymotiongraphics2134well, they’re totally different types of cars. Being lightweight and 2 piece chassis helps in an impact like that. I haven’t the slightest idea how the driver doing the hitting survived that. In an era before HANS, this should be fatal, regardless of the type of cars involved. It should speak to the safety of NASCAR that there hasn’t been a t-bone fatality since the 70s, when safety was an afterthought, and not a single one that I can think of in the “Modern Era”. Additionally, not a single fatality from any wreck since the HANS was mandated in October 01. That speaks volumes of how one much one device protects drivers. All that being said, this one was absolutely BRUTAL.

Instantly thought of the 86 Riverside crash Lyn Saint James had as well as the 92 flips for the Nissan cars in GTP, as well as both Audis finding trouble in 2011, McNish's start crash an Rocky's night time one are ones that instantly came to mind EDIT: Bob Wollek flipping a 962 at Sears Point as it was then also was brutal, for the sheer violence involved to flip a 962 at that corner, at those speeds, an to perfectly flip it, too
I was at the IMSA race at Mosport , was pretty wild, however, the McNish wreck at Lemans is honestly mind blowing. How noone else got hurt is seriously a true miracle, the panning shot could have been one of the most gruesome ever.
This is a great list! I'm less familiar with US endurance racing and I've never seen this Barbazza crash, but do remember seeing the Mcnish one live. Two other ones that come to mind are the Rockenfeller night-time crash at Le Mans in 2011 and the Josh Burdon crash on the Dottinger Hohe in the 2019 24h race. Both of those were truly scary
I remember around my early days of UA-cam I’d stumble across Joey Hand’s crash with Evanescence’s Bring Me To Life playing in the background along with other some other blowover crashes from 90’s/00’s nascar. Thanks for the nostalgia haha
I watched far too many of those live/as it happened. Watching the Dale/Barbazzo crash was horrifying, and when I saw the Gidley one I was instantly in tears with disturbing flashbacks. As much as I would love to get my son into motorsports, these are the reminders that I love him more.
It was just a misjudgment. The slow car was a member of the GT300 class (second tier class) and they are used to lapping them with a fairly high speed differential. However, this lapped car had a gearbox issue and was going much more slowly than usual. It's difficult to determine closing speed accurately when approaching from directly behind. There was no intention by the leader to draw the cars behind into an accident.
I actually blame the slower car for this one - the accident happened only just past the pit entry, the slower car was clearly having mechanical problems causing them them to be proceeding along the straight at walking pace, why on earth hadn't they gone into the pits??
That Peter Dumbreck crash will never cease to mesmerize me. I first saw the clip long before I knew anything about Endurance racing and to this day those images both amaze and terrify me. Nothing he could have done to stoop it; as the commentator said "and the car just takes off."
Maybe there's a top 10 brutal 24h of spa crashes coming. Tye Eau Rouge- Radillon section has so many crashes that you could do a top 10 exclusive of that section 😅
The one in '99 was horrific at Le Mans, it just took off like an airplane! I'm glad Peter Dunbreck survived it. ( if the last name is incorrect my apologies)
I just noticed this but at 10:32 if the tire wall wasn't there, all the photographers would've been forced into the wall by the car. This could've been one of the worst crashes in history
Literally any Motorsport crash would have been disastrous if it was not for something as basic and obvious as having a wall between the track and spectators...
The 2011 le mans was probably audi's greatest race in endurance series. Dows 2 cars on the early stages, being left with a single car fighting 3 peugeots. Yet they still manage to take a win and very minimal mechanical issues.
It was used for the 2001 ALMS race & there were plans for CART to use it as an alternative for their failed Texas race in 2001. However CART refused to do this because they felt ESPN & the sponsors wanted an oval race even though no one including ESPN didn't want the drivers to black out on the oval due to the G's generated in the corners.
@@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YTIt’s a fun layout to drive, even though it’s tricky to get the setup right. Do you go for high downforce to be quick through the infield? Or low downforce to be quick on the oval part? What do you do? Also, the ALMS layout has a chicane before the entrance to the oval, which isn’t in PC2.
McNish‘s flip in 2011 was a brutal one, but Rockenfeller‘s head on collision with the barrier only hours later was way worse. The way he hit that armco at that speed was absolutly sickening to watch. When we saw it on live tv, we first thought that he didn‘t survive the crash. Thankfully the news that he climbed out of the car by his own spread pretty fast.
The Jeremy Dale crash at the end with a T bone of the Ferrari brings to mind two recent deaths in T bone impacts at Spain open wheel racing the last three years or so. It seems that even 30 years ago, the bodies and driver protection systems of prototypes were. such stronger than those in even today's open wheel cars.
I'm always amazed at how safety bareers and cars are well engineered. Imagine these crashes 50 years ago... Some of them would have ended up like a fine red mist... 🤥
09:00 team mate Mark Webber didn't flip just once, actually he flipped twice - one time during Thursday practice, and once in the warm up on Saturday. Only footage from these incidents were photographs from the latter. Because of the lack of footage, Mercedes didn't believe Webber - they thought both was driver errors, as they claimed their car couldn't possibly flip like that. With two of their three cars left they still started the race, and Dumbreck flipped, but unlike Webber he landed outside the track and into the trees.
yeah he's very critical of how Mercedes responded to what he was saying following not just the qualifying flip but the one in the warmup (which the telecast cuts from talking about the Panoz to the CLR on its roof) and it was only after the footage of Dumbrek's flip that mercedes realised its an issue with the car's design rather than driver error
you know what was the most unbelievable thing in memo gidley crash? the fact that it wasn't supposed to have happened, the ferrari was very slow for quite a bit, imsa had time to throw the caution but somehow they never did
@@PSC-ll2dn I can definitely name two front-runners for the top spot on that list, both of which resulted in an injured driver. In 2013 a tire problem sent Alex Premat in car 34 off the road and he outright clobbered James Courtney's number 22 HRT Commodore on its driver's side, while in the first qualifying session for the 2015 Bathurst 1000 defending Bathurst winner Chaz Mostert wrecked his leg, car 6, and a marshal post in the same accident thanks to turning into a left-hander at the esses atop the mountain too soon.
I think you may have missed this but there was actually a crash in Super GT on Suzuka this year that caused a car to flip and hit the fence at the entry of Casio Triangle
Mike Rockenfellers crash at Le Mans 2011 is missing. Number 1 is clearly the worst. Without background information, I would declare it fatal. The fact that Jeremy Dale didn't suffer a basilar skull fracture or any brain injury that would at least leave him severly disabled forever is a miracle. You can see he was knocked out on impact for a second because his head is shaking back and forth, but then he moves his left hand and appears to open his visor.
Barbarazza suffered heavy head and chest injuries which left him in critical condition, in a coma and on artificial respiration. Although he fully recovered, he did not return to racing. Instead he started a go-kart circuit in Monza and began designing crash barriers.
McNish should have been fired from the team as soon as he returned to the garage. Taking himself out in the first hour of LeMans overtaking a backmarker? Stupidity. Absolute stupidity.
It was a truly stupid move, what the clip doesn't show is there was two cars side by side ahead of the Ferrari he clipped which is why his teammate slowed in the first place. Audi had gone back to a closed car that had high front fenders and poor visibility, he made a blind move 55 minutes into a 24 hour race. He was only used for longer enduros after that and let go after the following year.
Ive heard alot of people say jeremy dale probably would have died had he not been in the one and only carbon fibre tubbed spice chassis that was made at time
This is the first time I’ve seen Joey Hand’s crash since I watched it teevo’d when I was like 5. I always thought it was Carl Edwards that was flipping
I remember watching number 2, allan McNish, I still can't understand how that car didn't go over the fences, the trajectory took it over the fence but fate said not today
I've watched your other videos and have wanted to ask, we're there any consequences financially or points wise incurred during an6 of these crashes. Cutting off a GT to make a pass that was inadvisable. Not pulling off the pavement when obviously you are not able to generate thrust. And other situations that you would think should have some sort of retribution from the series.
Watching the Memo Gidley crash live on TV as it happened. I was convinced we'd just watched Gidley die, there was no way he was coming out of that, ESPECIALLY when they had the very brief shot of the front of the car, it looked too much like the wreckage of Stefan Bellof's car from Spa 85.
10) Bump from a different stretch of pavement sends car 21 flying 09) 1998 Petit Le Mans serves as a precursor to Mercedes' issues with the CLR at the actual Le Mans 08) Car 48 goes spinning into a barrier 07) Anthony Davidson would later reference this while on commentary at Spa for a GP3-type race 06) Well, that's not someone i'd put in a fantasy endurance team thanks to wrecking a Corvette 05) Problem with 62 leads to Memo Gidley clobbering the slow car in Daytona Prototype 99 04) Slow car causes the P2 car to wipe itself out hard 03) Mercedes hasn't been involved in endurance racing since, after three CLR flips - two by Mark Webber 02) "THAT'S MCNISH!!" 02-A) Only one Audi R18 finished the race, after Mike Rockenfeller wiped out car 1 later on. That car won the race. 01) A mega-hit outright sheared car 50 in half
Concerning the first incident, tracks are usually single direction. How difficult would it be to mandate that areas off-track should not rise but drop instead? Seen plenty a nasty incident caused by hitting a rise in ground in run-off/infield areas.
7:42: I don't think the commentary here is accurate regarding this accident. There was no "slipstreaming of a slower car". The other car was slow for some reason, probably due to a mechanical problem but was still on the racing line and there did not appear to be any flags warning of a slow moving vehicle. Now the lead driver may have been late in seeing the slow car ahead as he may have been looking in his mirrors at the two cars behind him, but in no way was this this fault of the lead driver and no "penalty" was deserved.
Armco or guard rail barriers suck, and are hard to repair. We can see that in several clips. But they are the cheapest of all race barriers. Staked cast concrete blocks are easier to repair, but cost MUCH more.
...and hurt more when you plow into one at over 100 mph. Which is why they use armco and guard rails coupled with tyre walls that absorb the impact better improving safety for the drivers and fans.

This is the first time I’ve seen Joey Hand’s crash since I watched it teevo’d when I was like 5. I always thought it was Carl Edwards that was flipping
Rockenfeller in LeMans crashing at 320 kph was also scary
The 4th one was the reference from gran turismo
Ouch.
I remember watching number 2, allan McNish, I still can't understand how that car didn't go over the fences, the trajectory took it over the fence but fate said not today
1955 Le Mans still takes the number one spot though…
I've watched your other videos and have wanted to ask, we're there any consequences financially or points wise incurred during an6 of these crashes. Cutting off a GT to make a pass that was inadvisable. Not pulling off the pavement when obviously you are not able to generate thrust. And other situations that you would think should have some sort of retribution from the series.
That last crash is more reason to have the HANS device
So the CLK-GTRs weren't the only cars then that had a tendency to fly. The 911 GT1 did as well.
Ngl the crash in spa this year is kinda brutal too where the all new cadillac just slam through the wall after losing momentum
Watching the Memo Gidley crash live on TV as it happened. I was convinced we'd just watched Gidley die, there was no way he was coming out of that, ESPECIALLY when they had the very brief shot of the front of the car, it looked too much like the wreckage of Stefan Bellof's car from Spa 85.
the utter fact 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans wasnt on there is shocking..
He only shows clips without any fatalities. So I don’t think that qualifies.
10:30 Almost saw another Le Mans tragedy
Watching the race Ive,when Memo hit the Ferrari. Thought the worst
Memo is back to full-time racing in the SRO GT America series
@@racer1578 Good to hear. Thx for the update
10) Bump from a different stretch of pavement sends car 21 flying
09) 1998 Petit Le Mans serves as a precursor to Mercedes' issues with the CLR at the actual Le Mans
08) Car 48 goes spinning into a barrier
07) Anthony Davidson would later reference this while on commentary at Spa for a GP3-type race
06) Well, that's not someone i'd put in a fantasy endurance team thanks to wrecking a Corvette
05) Problem with 62 leads to Memo Gidley clobbering the slow car in Daytona Prototype 99
04) Slow car causes the P2 car to wipe itself out hard
03) Mercedes hasn't been involved in endurance racing since, after three CLR flips - two by Mark Webber
02) "THAT'S MCNISH!!"
02-A) Only one Audi R18 finished the race, after Mike Rockenfeller wiped out car 1 later on. That car won the race.
01) A mega-hit outright sheared car 50 in half
3:37 flying mercedes prequel
7:36 look how much air time the Ferrari got.
gotta have the merc clr flip
Concerning the first incident, tracks are usually single direction. How difficult would it be to mandate that areas off-track should not rise but drop instead? Seen plenty a nasty incident caused by hitting a rise in ground in run-off/infield areas.
7:42: I don't think the commentary here is accurate regarding this accident. There was no "slipstreaming of a slower car". The other car was slow for some reason, probably due to a mechanical problem but was still on the racing line and there did not appear to be any flags warning of a slow moving vehicle. Now the lead driver may have been late in seeing the slow car ahead as he may have been looking in his mirrors at the two cars behind him, but in no way was this this fault of the lead driver and no "penalty" was deserved.
Bananas. Goodness.
I just realized that there was a Pontiac GTO GT car
Love a good wreck but not into fatal.
Armco or guard rail barriers suck, and are hard to repair. We can see that in several clips. But they are the cheapest of all race barriers. Staked cast concrete blocks are easier to repair, but cost MUCH more.
...and hurt more when you plow into one at over 100 mph. Which is why they use armco and guard rails coupled with tyre walls that absorb the impact better improving safety for the drivers and fans.
Nothing worse then when a car is trying to be a plane
Falta el de Pechito López en las 1000 millas de Sebring 2022.
looked like Barbazza had a seizure after the crash, seeing him jerk with his head...
No7 is like the Le Mans in the gt movie
Yeah that's what they based the crash on
That SuperGT crash is attempted murder 🫣
Those of you who think Joey hand got loose needs a eye exam He was Pic maneuvered and got the worst of it ...
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe .

On the topic of insane SuperGT crashes, 2023: ua-cam.com/video/nYe58RQfh1A/v-deo.html
Possibly one of the craziest survivals I have ever seen however, is this one (Japanese GT), and viewer discretion is seriously advised: ua-cam.com/video/2sN6atTPJ78/v-deo.htmlsi=EEoaMxtKvMWAwZBa&t=42
Can you feature Australia’s V8 Supercars in this series?
I've been asked this a number of times. I'm going to give it a shot in the near future 👍. I love Supercars.
@@Demise90Racinglegend.
There’s some nasty ones for sure. One of the more spectacular that I’ll never forget is from Karl Reindler stalling on the start at Wanneroo raceway and getting rear-ended, rupturing the fuel cell.
1998 GJTC fugi crash Tetsuya Ota, You’re welcome
