easy saying that when you have this view. he couldn’t see the car on the road because the car infront of him was blocking the view. he pulled out to overtake.
Looks like poor communication. He could have also thought the yellow flag was solely for the merc trapped on the astro turf. But truly the pit team really should have warned the driver about a car in the middle of the freakin' road
@@koraxi8958it's double waved yellows which means extreme caution, slow right down, he was blind sided a bit by the cars slowing in front actually looks like he's squirrel before veering because he's thinking about getting alongside, which is definitely reckless.
he literally would’ve missed it if he didn’t turn the wheel for no reason unless he was coming too hot on the turn, but still that’s why you have a radio team
Well considering he was following 2 other cars who went right past without a problem and this guy turned directly into him for no reason, I’d say it’s not possible lol
EXCUSE ME??!!!! How the F did that happen? This guy should NOT be allowed on a track. Absolutely unreal. he could have ended the life of the other guy... danger to all drivers for absolutely NO reason.
A lot of accidents happen by a bad coming together of happenstance. We can clearly see stuff from this perspective but imagine being the driver in that car. I think the following happend. Being close behind the car in front the driver can't see the car right in the middle of the track while giving slightly more throttle coming onto the straight. The car in front of him releases throttle (or maybe brakes even a bit?) earlier then expected for him even under yellow. Being that close it means it can take just a second until a rear-ending. So he has a split second to react, he can't dodge right cause the pitwall is there. Slamming the brakes is probably already to late as you will probably lock up and rear end anyway. So instinctively he dodges left where now he can suddenly see the wrongly parked car right in front of him. You can see he then instinctively keeps steering left but it's too late...
@@maracozzzz he shouldve been able to see that car before the car in front started going past it, he didnt even need to slow down that much to avoid the car in front bcoz he came from far enough behind that a gentle bad firm dab of the brakes shouldve sufficed, you can see that when he starts turning left the gap to the car in front remains the same bcoz the car in front is accelerating again. pro drivers should have comfortably better then average reaction times, meaning this is nothing but a needless incident from one drivers overreaction and panic
@@Mazikeen8934 Have you ever raced? at 200+ Km/h, a firm dab of the brakes just doesn't cut it. Yes he probably wouldn't have crashed but you can't know these things. Hindsight is 20/20. What if the car infront slowed right down because of debris infront of him? Anything. There are a million things that can happen in a race and sometimes a crash happens. It wasn't overreaction or panic it was a logical avoiding move, and an unfortunate set of circumstances.
@@tortrac958Making shit up buddy. Dude was way too far for the dive to do anything, and the stopped vehicle was already in line of sight before he even began to turn. The angle that he turned also implied that he wasn't even trying to do an overtake anyway. He just made a genuine mistake 🤷♂️
He wasn't overtaking. Those 2 in front managed to slow down fast enough while he was unable to do so and the most obvious reason to me is because those 2 in front of him saw the car and were braking hard while he didn't see the car (notice how he turned more to the wall side at the moment where he was about to come in line of sight with the stopped car and thus failed to see it) Basically he didn't expect them to slam on the brakes so hard and was taken surprise by them braking there as he probably saw the car in the grass and thought that was the one so he turned to the left to be safe but then a huge surprise... Car in the middle, the reason the braked hard. It's not the fault of the driver that crashed into the car. It's the fault of his engineer who failed to notify him properly CAR IN THE MIDDLE BRAKE CAUTION CAUTION STICK TO THE WALL SIDE AND SLOW DOWN. PS: When it's yellow, drivers are always taking advantage of it to get as close to the car in front as possible. Which is also the reason why you always see cars trying to be as close to bumper as possible with the yellows.
Just noticed the green flags are waving with a car stopped on one of the highest speed parts of the track. Look at the end of pit road where the marshalls are all gathered the one closest is waving a green flag. This is race controls fault a stopped car on track is an automatic yellow in FIA racing, and a possible red flag to remove debris.
Check the sightlines.. he wouldn't be able to see that car in the middle until the very last moment as he tried to avoid a crash with the car in front of him. Even then he tried to steer around it, but there just wasn't enough room left so he sideswiped it.
@@SeedlingNL "Tried to avoid a crash with the car in front of him" Yellow means slow down. Also the car in front of him was WAY closer to the car he was following, yet didn't do anything stupid like that 🤷 I don't know why people are trying to defend such careless driving.
So many people are so ignorant, trying to defend this driver 1: It's double yellow. That means slow down. And no overtaking, period. 2: The car he was chasing was _way_ closer to the car in front. Don't tell me there was not enough time to react. 3. Adrian D'Silva is a 60 year old pay driver. If it was an actual professional, this wouldnt have happened. But a lot of endurance teams have "gentleman drivers", who are rich, elderly people who fund a team in exchange for a few laps of thrills. That's why this happened. There's no excuse except a lack of talent, aged reflexes, and poor judgement.
Driver thought the yellow was for the car off the track. Really should have been a red flag. There’s no reason that it was only a double yellow. Section of track way too fast. Driver could have avoided it (possibly) but was left to make a decision based on his own judgement. Red flag would have prevented this. Also the European use of the red flag is wrong. Red should mean STOP is a safe manner and await further instructions. Not return to the pits at a reduced speed.
@@carnivorebear6582yea he should’ve slowed down but it’s wet and the first car slowed right when he was next to the car and that car behind had way too much speed under the yellow. Still it should’ve been a red flag regardless of any other argument. They have to tow the car off the track, that’s a red
They did slow down, if there wasn’t a car there they’d be flat out going into eau rouge, u can literally see the cars losing speed before going past the car
@@mikey24788 Double yellows just means slow down to a point you can stop quickly. I know everyone ignores them but they will have to be enforced because this is what comes of it.
Nicolas Baert is sitting in the car that's on the grass at the side of the track. Adrian D'Silva crashes into Christian Hook's car. Baert and Cook are stationary due to a previous crash between the two of them. All three of them are ok.
No driver us going to intentionally smash into a car like that. Not only does it ruin your race but it's also insanely risky for your health. Not sure why he hit him. Almost looks like he didn't think he could make it around on the outside, or he's blind. The line he took wouldn't have worked for that turn so I think he panicked and tries to avoid on the inside. Bad driver nonetheless
Dude had two correct choices and he chose neither. Stunning !!! Just because you can bring in a lot of $$ backing $$ doesn't mean you should be racing in this class (or at all).

Don't defend the person who hit him, he's clearly a stupid racer, he already knew yellow but didn't slow down and was still trying to overtake, he didn't even see a car in the middle even though it was actually visible from afar.
Nah you are, He is in a Gr.3 Car required to wear a helmet while racing for hours. The people that are dumb here is you and the people who thought it should’ve been a yellow flag instead of a red 🤦🏾♂️
to the people saying "how do you not see and randomly bashing him" the 2 cars infront of him accelerated like usualy but then suddenly slowed down to the point that hed either locked up and crashed or tried to avoid the car which didnt work
Visibility in a low race car might not be the greatest but not seeing that car, or realising why the cars in front were braking, or getting a warning on the radio as it's right in front of the pit, this crash was avoidable.
What no one seems to notice is that the car in front of him braked hard, because the other one also braked hard. That is the problem of the overcautious, they cause the problem, leave unscathed and the blame goes elsewhere.
He took evasive action from the car infront of him slowing down. But the question is why they were going that fast with double yellows waving. Absolutely not intentional crash though
In racing that's the worst wreck.. I've sat in those car's watching the same thing.. you can see it coming and there's nothing you can do. It's really violent. You can see their eyes in the last second before the impact.
It looks like he had no line of sight to the stopped car, until the cars in front swerved to avoid it, and then he panicked--again, where was his radio crew and what were they doing?!
Not sure how WEC handles these kinds of situations because of the nature of endurance races, but a car stopped in the middle of the track looks like a red flag scenario to me.
You would think that a racecar driver would you know be at minimum be a decent driver.. but then you see a video like this, and realize they are some of the worst drivers ever.
I see what happened. He didn't take into account that the cars in front had slowed down to make sure they made it through safely and the gap was closing with the car in front so he tried to bail to avoid rear ending him but it was too late. Still sloppy driving. Should have seen the danger ahead and been ready to slow down.
What the hell was he thinking by overtaking a stationary car that broke down in the middle of the road you stay on the racing line by following others cars and not overtake till the track is safe again
Literally following the line of 2 other cars on a yellow flag on a straight and decided to peel out like that for absolutely no reason? Looked intentional with how insanely stupid that was.
So he actually could have had a mechanical failure.Jaun Pablo Montoya came out of the pits in Nascar at Daytona under caution.A control arm broke as he entered the turn and slammed into a jet dryer and burst into flames.
Yall talking about him not being able to see it when he was right behind a car blocking his view he didn’t see it until the last second. That’s his teams fault.
No Racer, that far back in the pack should be going that fast or driving that close to that accident. You can blame that squarely on the crew chief for not telling him
Trying to avoid slowing down so hard, as the car slowed down massively to go between the wall and the car. causing him to take avoiding action.. then the crashed car popped up last second, and he couldnt react in time. thats how I see it.
He might have thought that he’s getting too close to the car in front of him. Look how the distance gets closer shortly before he crashed. He might have tried to avoid crashing into the tail of that guy in front.
To me it seems like due to him following the cars ahead, he couldn’t see the crashed car. And due to the car infront of him slowing down, he swerved to avoid hitting his rear
The reason I don’t get angry when F1 gets red flagged after a silly crash. Small things can turn into deadly crashes and you cannot underestimate people’s blindness
I wonder if he was spooked by the car in front braking harder/earlier than expected, and tried to avoid running in the back of that car - while seriously misjudging his distance to the stationary car.
Remember the safety car and stewards in races the good old days... even the driver use to push the car off the road flags should of been put as a warning also
i’m not sure if this is what happened, but i have an idea. the driver at the end who hit the parked car most likely went to go to the right of it, but saw the car in front slam the brakes, clogging the hole, which made him have a tough choice. from his end, it must’ve looked like he would either go to the right side and smash into the car slowing in front of him, or gamble with diving to the left to avoid everything. sadly, he tried to go to the left and hit the parked car
I'm not sure but I think I saw a little puff of mist from a car ahead just as they went uphill which would suggest a bit of a puddle, the lights are reflecting off the asphalt which suggests a wet track, I'm thinking that although we may not see it the driver who crashed may have had a slight spray of mist from the car in front of him that affected his visibility and when that car ahead tapped his brakes he tried to avoid like how you explained but couldn't see the stranded car due to the spray.
Why did he turn last minute? That looked very weird… Hope they are both safe, but the one that turned into the stranded car last minute should get his eyes checked…
It is track responsibility to throw that caution. With technology like raceceivers this is just inexcusable. Now if they were using them and atill this happwned - then yes that car that darted left into the stalled car should never be behind the wheel of a race car ever again....
If you look closely the one before him lift his throttle that made him think he good not avoid a collision because he was to late to react. The decision to go the other way around the stationairy car was the worst he good make.
Double waved yellows, the cars in front of him slowing down and hugging the wall And yet he just keep going at full speed and into the middle of the track. That should be bannable
There was literally no reason for that guy to hit that car. The 3 cars infront did just fine and had planty of room from the guy infront of him and they made it with the same line as him yet desided to take a closer look at one of the bumber stickers (extremely close look) . He shouldnt be racing anymore
For all you saying it's his fault you're forgetting he is behind another car who is also in a train, he probably only saw the stopped car like 10 metres before contact
@RacingAnt mate all those cars were speeding + double yellow means slow down to gear 5 at most which he clearly was doing and another point is that the only visable car is the car on the grass, accordong to the FIA you follow the leading car and match his pace in order to catch a saftey car if its released if not you all match the delta speed on the drivers dash which im sure he did
"Caution there's a stopped car on track in front, the cautions are out. Take it easy in front of pit road" "I'm going for the pass these losers in front are slowing down on the straight!"
He wasn't slowing as fast the car in front of him, so maybe he thought he was going to rear end him, and tried to go from the other side but was too late.
Just another side to it. I wonder if it was some kind of optical illusion where as the cars in front passed he thought it was rolling back into his path 🤷🏼♂️ can’t think of any other reason. Still doesn’t excuse the words ‘car in the middle of track on run down to eau rouge’ not being said over the radio. He was there long enough.
Double yellows being waved…slow down & prepare to stop. Racing driver with his racing brain in top gear not only not giving a f@@k about his life but other drivers & marshals ☹️
He was going too fast and was about to rear-end the car in front of him, so he thought he could go sharp left and avoid both of them......obviously he didn't go left enough. 😬
Everyone arguing "if he is blind or what" but in a real racing scenario. Where the car in front is slowing down quickly and you have nearly no space. The driver who crashed with the stopped car, had only two choice: crash with the car stopping, or try to take another way. Also, is not like Gran Turismo where every single car is lightweight and you just need to slow down. If he lock the steering while braking, it end badly, if he slips while braking, end badly, there is many variables that we don't see in most racing games.
Most vehicles in racing have ABS, TCR and more to assist the racer. But be sure those technologies don't work like in games. ABS can fail, TCR can fail. Any tech assistance can fail at any moment.

Literally following the line of 2 other cars on a yellow flag on a straight and decided to peel out like that for absolutely no reason? Looked intentional with how insanely stupid that was.
So he actually could have had a mechanical failure.Jaun Pablo Montoya came out of the pits in Nascar at Daytona under caution.A control arm broke as he entered the turn and slammed into a jet dryer and burst into flames.
Yall talking about him not being able to see it when he was right behind a car blocking his view he didn’t see it until the last second. That’s his teams fault.
No Racer, that far back in the pack should be going that fast or driving that close to that accident. You can blame that squarely on the crew chief for not telling him
Trying to avoid slowing down so hard, as the car slowed down massively to go between the wall and the car. causing him to take avoiding action.. then the crashed car popped up last second, and he couldnt react in time. thats how I see it.
Bro took Ricky Bobby’s words to heart.. if u ain’t first your last.. dude said fuck it might as well finish last in style 😂😂
He might have thought that he’s getting too close to the car in front of him. Look how the distance gets closer shortly before he crashed. He might have tried to avoid crashing into the tail of that guy in front.
The only coherent way to explain this is that the car is right-hand drive in the Japanese and English style.
Doing this under a yellow flag should mean a lifetime ban.
in this world if there's an opportunity for stupidity just hold my beer and watch dis guy
To me it seems like due to him following the cars ahead, he couldn’t see the crashed car. And due to the car infront of him slowing down, he swerved to avoid hitting his rear
Guy shouldn’t be in a race car period. He needs to stop texting and pay attention to the road.
The reason I don’t get angry when F1 gets red flagged after a silly crash. Small things can turn into deadly crashes and you cannot underestimate people’s blindness
I wonder if he was spooked by the car in front braking harder/earlier than expected, and tried to avoid running in the back of that car - while seriously misjudging his distance to the stationary car.
Remember the safety car and stewards in races the good old days... even the driver use to push the car off the road flags should of been put as a warning also
i’m not sure if this is what happened, but i have an idea. the driver at the end who hit the parked car most likely went to go to the right of it, but saw the car in front slam the brakes, clogging the hole, which made him have a tough choice. from his end, it must’ve looked like he would either go to the right side and smash into the car slowing in front of him, or gamble with diving to the left to avoid everything. sadly, he tried to go to the left and hit the parked car
I'm not sure but I think I saw a little puff of mist from a car ahead just as they went uphill which would suggest a bit of a puddle, the lights are reflecting off the asphalt which suggests a wet track, I'm thinking that although we may not see it the driver who crashed may have had a slight spray of mist from the car in front of him that affected his visibility and when that car ahead tapped his brakes he tried to avoid like how you explained but couldn't see the stranded car due to the spray.
This is why you don't use your phone while driving. The absolute muppet.
Why did he turn last minute? That looked very weird… Hope they are both safe, but the one that turned into the stranded car last minute should get his eyes checked…
Mi pare assurdo che nel 2024 in questi casi non ci sia una comunicazione al pilota per rallentare e evitare tali incidenti
He's focusing on the car infront to line up a run after radion, plus it's downhill. He never saw that car
It is track responsibility to throw that caution. With technology like raceceivers this is just inexcusable. Now if they were using them and atill this happwned - then yes that car that darted left into the stalled car should never be behind the wheel of a race car ever again....
Not the drivers fault but his teams, he couldn’t see the car In The middle of the track because the 2 cars in front of him were blocking his view
If you look closely the one before him lift his throttle that made him think he good not avoid a collision because he was to late to react. The decision to go the other way around the stationairy car was the worst he good make.
Double waved yellows, the cars in front of him slowing down and hugging the wall
And yet he just keep going at full speed and into the middle of the track. That should be bannable
Una cosa simile è successa ad Ignazio Giunti nel 1971 a Buenos Aires, nelle Sport Prototipi, lui purtroppo non ce l'ha fatta. Riposa in pace Ignazio.
There was literally no reason for that guy to hit that car. The 3 cars infront did just fine and had planty of room from the guy infront of him and they made it with the same line as him yet desided to take a closer look at one of the bumber stickers (extremely close look) . He shouldnt be racing anymore
24h race => Why are people surprised he fell asleep behind the wheel?
If a car is stopped right in the middle of the track what is the harm in throwing a full-course yellow?
That has to be the team’s gentleman’s driver. Sad
For all you saying it's his fault you're forgetting he is behind another car who is also in a train, he probably only saw the stopped car like 10 metres before contact
You're missing the double waved yellow flags that means "don't overtake, slow down and prepare to stop." He didn't even lift, so totally his fault.
@RacingAnt mate all those cars were speeding + double yellow means slow down to gear 5 at most which he clearly was doing and another point is that the only visable car is the car on the grass, accordong to the FIA you follow the leading car and match his pace in order to catch a saftey car if its released if not you all match the delta speed on the drivers dash which im sure he did
Is there no yellow flags or radios in this racing? That is the stupidest accident I have seen in modern racing
"Caution there's a stopped car on track in front, the cautions are out. Take it easy in front of pit road"
"I'm going for the pass these losers in front are slowing down on the straight!"
Ban that driver from racing for life!
I am more surprised at how easily those cars got destroyed. It almost feels like these cars are made of LEGO's.
Professional racer is crazyyy bro had enough time to slow down instead of swerving
He wasn't slowing as fast the car in front of him, so maybe he thought he was going to rear end him, and tried to go from the other side but was too late.
You're not supposed to hold your phone while driving that's why we have bluetooth.
How!? It's almost like he crashed on purpose
After many hours of sim racing recently I can see easily how shit like this can happen. Scary. No one here is at fault.
nobody knows his pov, poeple really should stop saying he shouldnt be racing
My only guess is radio was telling him to go around the outside and he reacted too late
Completely his fault! If it was in a blind corner then I'd see the argument but he had half the straight away to avoid.
Just another side to it. I wonder if it was some kind of optical illusion where as the cars in front passed he thought it was rolling back into his path 🤷🏼♂️ can’t think of any other reason. Still doesn’t excuse the words ‘car in the middle of track on run down to eau rouge’ not being said over the radio. He was there long enough.
Double yellows being waved…slow down & prepare to stop. Racing driver with his racing brain in top gear not only not giving a f@@k about his life but other drivers & marshals ☹️
He was going too fast and was about to rear-end the car in front of him, so he thought he could go sharp left and avoid both of them......obviously he didn't go left enough. 😬
That driver shouldn’t race. Unacceptable crash.
Dont they know you cant park there?
Why was it not red flagged? Dude is literally in the middle of the road
For this situation a VSC system is perfect. Apparently it's not present in this racing class.
Everyone arguing "if he is blind or what" but in a real racing scenario. Where the car in front is slowing down quickly and you have nearly no space. The driver who crashed with the stopped car, had only two choice: crash with the car stopping, or try to take another way.
Also, is not like Gran Turismo where every single car is lightweight and you just need to slow down. If he lock the steering while braking, it end badly, if he slips while braking, end badly, there is many variables that we don't see in most racing games.
Most vehicles in racing have ABS, TCR and more to assist the racer. But be sure those technologies don't work like in games. ABS can fail, TCR can fail. Any tech assistance can fail at any moment.
Dude shouldn’t be allowed to drive ANYTHING let alone a race car!!!
