Another bad one is Elliott Sadler, Pocono 2010. Only one angle of this crash exists, and if I remember correctly, it was registered to be the hardest hit in NASCAR history.
I remember watching the 1990 F1 race from Monza when Derrick Warwick crashed on the first lap. Back the according to the rules, if you damaged your car in a crash and had not completed the first lap and the race was red flagged, a driver could go back to the pits and get into a backup car and continue. Warwick got out of his car, sprinted back to the pits and got into his backup car and continued. Unfortunately his clutch only lasted 15 laps and he retired from the race.
There was a similar incident with a driver crashing his car, running back to the pitlane and getting into the spare care, the team principal walked up to him to ask him if he was alright to race and the driver pretty much went "Yeah, it'll be fine, just tell me, is the first corner a left- or right-hander?" so the team principal pulled the guy out and sent him to the medics.
He had another very bad crash at Hockenheim in 1993, where he slid through the gravel trap on his head. During his medical check up with Prof Sid Watkins, the Prof apparently removed some gravel from his ear. "Don't worry about that" said Derek, "I recognise that gravel, that's from Monza 1990!"
For information, the bonus clip is in France. Peugeot 207 at rallye Lyon charbonnière i think in the years 2006/2010... The pilot suffered a lot of injuries. But still here today and still racing ;)
Chaz Mostert's onboard is one of the most brutal onboards ever, seeing his leg breaking upon hitting the gear lever... Its almost as if i could feel the hit
The crash contributed, but was one of multiple factors. Multiple concussions throughout the years and some lingering health issues that no one was aware of brought it on as well.
I mean it certainly couldn't of helped, he had a lot of hard hits in his career. Though I think saying that's why he died is speculation on it. Though a healthy person rarely dies at 42.
Wonderful compilation, Robert Kubica hitting the wall after trying to get by Trulli ( the train conductor ) could definitely be included. i believe it was a 230 km/h , 75-G impact.
Just so you know. The Eric McClure crash did wind up ending his life. It took a few years but that wreck destroyed his life and wound up being his end.
Other big hits (non fatal): Kenny Brack, Texas - 214g Chris Van Der Drift, Brands Hatch - 210g Mike Hakinnen, Adelaide - 204g Karl Wedlinger, Monaco - 360g? (unclear) Fatal hits: Jules Bianchi, Suzuka - 256g Roland Ratzenberger, Imola - ~500g There might be some spelling mistakes, and if there are, I’m sorry
Ratzenberger is a estimated figure. Which means you and I can propose a number. Bianchi is the lateral forces. Meaning it wasn't the stopping force, but the downwards force of his helmet pressing down on his body and spine. Kenny Brack was in rotational force. Hakinnen split his most of his skull in two. Zhang, in Macau, experienced the same unbelievable punch of stopping in an instant. I doubt he was unharmed
If you watch "Sebastien Bourdais Huge Crash 2017 Indy500 Qualifying" at 24 1/2 seconds his speed goes from 230 mph to 331 and then back down to 39 a couple seconds later. A true glitch in the Matrix.
Nice compilation of different racing series. Maybe next edition include Michael McDowell's 2008 Texas qualifying crash & Kyle Busch's 2015 Daytona Xfinity crash.
Great video. I expected one crash from qualifying for Indy I think, probably from the early 90s, of a Marlboro liveried car getting a slide halfway through the turn and overcorrects it and hits the wall hard with left wheel first, and then spins the hell away from that wall. Can't remember who or what year though
Take a moment and be appreciative of marshals and the work they do, And also the advances in safety measures that allows they cars to absorb impact they way they do.
One of the pit reporters for that race's broadcast was Dr. Jerry Punch, an actual medical doctor, who hurried down and administered care on site that saved his life. I'll spare you the details but he would've died if Jerry hadn't gotten there.
0:55 fun fact: this driver said that after the crash he turned off the engine, only to realize that there was no engine and the car was in half. Pretty funny.
Ha ha ha ha..... No he didn't. Ha ha ha ha ...... Serious Fact: He was shutting off the ignition to shut down the power in case of sparks from maybe torn wires grounded out, sparking, and starting a fire. That is what smart race car drivers do.
Incredible how advanced those Dallara cars have become.. Sebastian Bourdais is living proof of that. Unbelievable that he has not sustained chronic injuries
I got terrified at 1:50 due to the crash looking exactly like the one Gordon Smiley had in the 70's, also in a indy car. His bolide desintigrated on impact
Guys, go easy on him. He hasn't seen every auto racing crash since 1898 to know what to include. Now for the guy or gal, who put this and their other videos together . . . be careful how you title these things. If you promise "Auto Racing Crashes" then you can't be held to any standard. Once you put Big-EST, Wild-EST, Hard-EST, etc., you are setting yourself up for unnecessary criticism.
Marcel Tiemann's crash is missing in my opinion. It happened at the same spot as the first one in the video, but in GT Open in 2010. He was put into the barriers at around 200 kmh and was in coma for 4 weeks (suffered a traumatic brain injury). His short term memory and vision is terminally damaged and his racing career is over since then.
That's how it sounds, if you're standing still and the vibrations bounce off buildings and such. Sounds like that too, at Le Mans when they flew out onto the mulsanne
It just boils down to experience. Plain and simple. Granted, you do run across some guys who have money AND THEN find out the hard way they have no talent. In Andy Farr's case the only experience he had going that fast in a race car was when the car crashed in this video. The car hadn't been running right all week. He was the first champion of the CASCAR Super Series, which is now the NASCAR Pinty's Series. He had the talent and the qualifications that many others have had to take that next step. His only ARCA experience up to that point was in the 77 teams backup car, in a 200 lap race on a 1/2 mile track where he had won a championship at. He would have an impressive finish if his idiot crew chief (YEAH, IT WAS ME) hadn't put him in a bad spot. (I made up for it. Kind of. I recommended him for the 77 car. The downside of Daytona being the first race of the season. It can make you or break you.)
I can speak for the ARCA videos a little. We as people involved DID care about what we put on the race track. I was a crewman and spotter for the 77 car. After the owner stopped running full-time. I became as ARCA official. Contrary to popular belief, in the days before NASCAR's recent acquisition of ARCA (and turning it into NASCAR Kindergarten) we did care. We did all we could with the trickle down parts and technology we had available. One thing I always liked about ARCA was there was still some room for brain power and finding better ways that we were allowed to search for ourselves to find safety improvements. One's we could build and use ourselves instead of waiting for some higher ups to tell us when we are allowed to do something safer. ARCA was the first in stock car racing to require neck collars and fire resistant gloves. Now, the neck collars did have their drawbacks. The Simpson Hybrid (my preference) and HANS devices do a much better job supporting the head and neck. But we used what was the best available at the time. Experience will always be the biggest difference that there ever was for us. You either learn by seeing how others wreck, being wrecked, scaring yourself from almost wrecking, or being the one that wrecked.
Caling it the hardest hits of all time and not including the accident of Kenny Bräck ? The highest messured G force ever recorded in any racing incident.
Ray Evernham and a partner just bought the property rights and remaining assets, which include some cars, of IROC. They are reportedly thinking about putting on one race (for sh!ts and grins) in 2024. The problem I see is the problem IROC had it's last few years before. Logistics (getting the drivers people want to see all at one track, all at the same time), sponsorship, and a good enough value TV package.
I have a problem with a lot of the crashes on here, mainly to do with safety. It’s baffling how these motorsport organizers still allow concrete and metal barriers, besides NASCAR. SAFER barriers work. It’s been proven time and time again. They rarely break, they don’t split, and they’re a helluva lot softer than metal and especially concrete. Tire barriers I guess make sense but they still aren’t good. Non-oval motor sports need to get with the program before another driver gets killed.
Safer barriers strong points are for when they are up against the edge of the track. Properly set up tire barriers and Armco work well when you are far enough away that you aren't as concerned about bounce back into the paths of other cars. That being said, Mt. Panorama could certainly use some, except the fact that it's already very narrow at those spots.
idk about the Eric McClure crash. All things considered, I honestly can't think of a single harder hit. Theres no slide like most of the crashes, just driving head on at full superspeedway pace, and without any fancy airborne dissipation, just *stops* and then slides sideways.
I have no idea how Andy Farr lived that Daytona Crash
Neither does he
If not for Neil Bonnett, before he died 24 hours later.
He got lucky with how the car hit wall.
“Survived” or “ lived through”
I believe Dr. Jerry punch had to perform various emergency procedures on him while still in the car
Another bad one is Elliott Sadler, Pocono 2010. Only one angle of this crash exists, and if I remember correctly, it was registered to be the hardest hit in NASCAR history.
Terrifying
There's actually a conspiracy theory about it because there are multiple angles, nascar just never showed them

Eric McClure actually died of his injuries after the crash at Talladega in May 2021. Rest in peace, Eric.✝️
Partially
More of less, was a combination of the 4 concussions he suffered in racing (including this crash)
The crash contributed, but was one of multiple factors. Multiple concussions throughout the years and some lingering health issues that no one was aware of brought it on as well.

Last clip is Damien Daumas 2010 I'm pretty sure
