10 BRUTAL Endurance Racing Crashes 

how neither of the marshalls or Photoghaphers were injured in that 2011 le Mans crash is just a miracle..

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.

Jesus that number 1 clip onboard was horrifying. It’s a miracle either driver survived this

You're taking your life in your hands whenever you try to try to overtake a GT-class Ferrari.

ty 4 not including any fatalities much appreciated ❤️

We gonna need a part 2 ❤

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

No 24h of Spa crashes in this top 10 is a crime

This channel is so well done for someone who sounds relatively young. Love your indy recaps

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 the one at 7:43. That was pretty dirty of the leader.

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.

5:18 saw this in gt movie and damn they overdramatic this crash but still that is scary af

Thanks, Demise. 😊

Congratulations big video thank you😂😂😂🎉🎉❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

I remember around my early days of RU-vid 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

LOVE endurance racing 💚

Great video, maybe a top 10 for drag racing or MotoGP?

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

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."

3:16 The team: damn, our competition just got a perfect view of the underside

6:54 I was there for that one. Was brutal and you could feel it in the stands by turn 1 in the second level.

Great compilation sir!! ❤❤..is there a car know n as a Frisbee?! Think it was in gt.

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.

Great video mate may i suggest a sprintcar one could make a series

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.

I didn't know TMS has (or had) a roval configuration! I believed it only existed in video games

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.

10:30 Look at how close that prototype came to going over the tire barriers and into those bystanders. That could've been way worse

Nice clear narration. Well done. 😅. Please do some more.

1:10 The driver should have sued the track owners for that launchpad

5:28 When you watched the gran turismo movie this looks super familiar

Wow, i was not expecting an onboard for the #1 crash.

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)

Man I was at that BMW wreck at mid Ohio. That was insane seeing it in person. Still remember it vividly

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.

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

The 1999 24hours of Le Mans when the Mercedes - Benz flip up and over and off the track and landed on the wheels. And it scared the crap out of me.

HANS device saved the life of the driver that was number 4 on the list

Ouch.

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... 🤥

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.

3:11 *record scratch* *freeze frame* "yep, that's me. you're probably wondering how I got into this situation…"

GT and Protos on the track together is asking for this.

No deaths, but definitely heavy injuries

Part 2 should include the 1993 Watkins Glen IMSA crash between the Nissan GTOs, crazy crash.

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

#9 the classic GT1 fly, when front aero wasn't really a thing yet

I was at daytona for Mimmoz crash. Crazy

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.

Steve Millen's 300zx crash at Watkins Glen needs to be in Part 2

Nothing more destructive than a lapped down Ferrari GT car

Spooky when the driver reaches for the wheel but it ain’t even close to being there anymore

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.

the utter fact 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans wasnt on there is shocking..

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.

You should do a video of 10 brutal crashes from the Supercars Championship in Australia.

McNish saved by a wheel tether! Was there in 2011.

The 4th one was the reference from gran turismo

10 Brutal Australian Supercar Racing Crashes please.

gotta have the merc clr flip

3:37 flying mercedes prequel

After seeing that first wreck alone with a BMW... I want race car technology in my personal operated vehicle.

Bananas. Goodness.

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.

You’ve done IndyCar You’ve done NASCAR You’ve done Endurance Racing Now you gotta do Formula 1

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

Another one you could add is Rockenfeller's crash at le mans (I think 2011 maybe?)

1955 Le Mans still takes the number one spot though…

That last crash is more reason to have the HANS device

Love a good wreck but not into fatal.

Rockenfeller in LeMans crashing at 320 kph was also scary

Ngl the crash in spa this year is kinda brutal too where the all new cadillac just slam through the wall after losing momentum

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

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

10:30 Almost saw another Le Mans tragedy

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

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.

So the CLK-GTRs weren't the only cars then that had a tendency to fly. The 911 GT1 did as well.

7:36 look how much air time the Ferrari got.

Nothing worse then when a car is trying to be a plane

I just realized that there was a Pontiac GTO GT car

No7 is like the Le Mans in the gt movie

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...

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.

Is number 9 at Road Atlanta?

On the topic of insane SuperGT crashes, 2023: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nYe58RQfh1A.html Possibly one of the craziest survivals I have ever seen however, is this one (Japanese GT), and viewer discretion is seriously advised: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2sN6atTPJ78.htmlsi=EEoaMxtKvMWAwZBa&t=42

4:22 nunca voy a entender xq dejan 2 categorías netamente distintas en una misma carrera

That SuperGT crash is attempted murder 🫣

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe .

Watching the race Ive,when Memo hit the Ferrari. Thought the worst

Those of you who think Joey hand got loose needs a eye exam He was Pic maneuvered and got the worst of it ...

Sekiguchi, the driver of the Toyota Supra should have been banned for several races after this crash. He literally planned a trap for the guys behind him.

Was the first clip at summit point?

Kendrick vs Steve full 18 holes no matter how long the video is. ASAP please

it no doubt the slow cars that cause accidents not the guys going fast, i have often been in situations like this people driving to slowly on normal roads causing accidents

1998 GJTC fugi crash Tetsuya Ota, You’re welcome

McNish should have lost his license for that 2011 crash.
