Motorsport - Horror Crashes #2 (INSANE) 

It's amazing how most of the drivers in these horrific accidents walk away unharmed or only with minor injuries and other drivers get really hurt or even pass away in "stupid" or "avoidable" incidents. It really puts in perspective that luck plays a mayor factor when it comes to motorsports crashes.

One of the best worst crash channels on this site, with a lot of stuff i've never seen before. Keep up the great work!

1:09 the driver is Achim Zumtobel miraculously he only suffered a broken knee 2:10 his full name is Marc Delpierre, it was during the 1990 Dutch Formula Ford championship at Zandvoort

The unknown track is Zandvoort

6:46 Ive never seen this one..Johnny O came damn close to getting clipped. O.O

Some wild crashes here. 3:56 just a point of interest. Manfred went on to race until August 1985 where he crashed in turn 2 at Mosport Park north of Toronto. I was flag marshal for the next corner on that day. A helicopter was brought in to air lift him. We found out later that he’d succumbed to his injuries.

1:13 this felt like a damn movie scene

I knew Danny Drinan (2nd clip :36 second mark) back then from photographing open wheel racing. After he'd recovered, I saw him working on his car at a race and he showed me all the scars on his forearms from where they'd been thrown outside his roll-cage by the centrifugal forces caused by the violent rolling and the surgeries he'd had. I told him how much the news and video had scared me, and he kinda chuckled and said "Scared YOU?". From what I remember hearing right after the accident, he wasn't breathing and had no pulse when responders got to him, but they got him resuscitated pretty quickly. He probably saved his own life, because instead of one of the major chassis builders' cages, he was driving his own product. Drinan chasses were built extremely strong. A pic of the one involved in this crash stripped down to just the chassis itself showed it had only been bent an inch or so out of square. Three or four years after that crash at the Springfield mile, Danny was again badly injured in a practice session crash at Indianapolis.

2:54 How did he survive?! Especially when the cab mowed over like that! 😮

Wow this was really good. A few of these I’ve never seen before.

No matter what level of Motorsports we're in , planes, boats motorcycles, trucks or cars there's always gonna be high speed violent crashes that sometimes cause injuries and or death. That's something we live with as we strive to make our sport more safer and yet still exciting. I've had some brutal wrecks to on a little dirt track I'm my hometown where I grew up. I hope the drivers in this video came out ok.

5:07 5:23. Wow, both of them got out so quickly 😯

The first crash... 14 surgeries and fractures? As an F1 fan of 2024, this is insane!! Safety improved so much in the last years... This looked like he barely scratched the wall.

John Mickle's Legends somersault happened right in front of me at Cadwell. Was taking photos at the time, and it made me freeze! Incredibly lucky with the direction he bounced!

How did Alboreto just stepped out his car mike nothing happened? Thats insane.

That 1:09 one looks like something that would be out of a movie, that is strange

Great video, some very lucky drivers 😮

That is the worst crash I've seen in truck racing, the whole cab ripped from the chassis

Manfred climbing out from the wreckage immediately was a miracle.

Half of those clips look like someone died there.

3:58 the Indiana Jones OST I can’t 😭

It wasn't "Tom Ginetta" it was Hunter Abbott driving a Ginetta

The Ginetta accident at Oulton Park was Hunter Abbott

5:24 : I had never seen this crash from Alboreto ! 😮

Great video. Do Sebring worse crash next please.

5:38 Michele Alboreto teve a sorte que o Senna não teve em 1994

1:10 this one is insane the fact that he ran over his own loose tire

1:37 I DID NOT SEE THAT ONE COMING

4:08 Jann crash 💀💀💀

4:19 driver seems to be Filip Czarski

can you make a video like this but showing the aftermath, as in if they died or the injuries they sustained?

@4:25 , driver has left the chat.

there was actually a crash at brands at the 2022 formula ford festival on the Saturday. It was at Paddock Hill corner too and I was there watching it live. Very scary accident he was OK

0:43 that was preece

At the time 5:10...It's not from Finland, it's from Estonia national rally event. That i dont know is the driver correct

unbelivable!

For part 3 you should include Ryan Preece’s crash at Daytona in August 2023.

1:47 HOLY SHIT HE HIT THE FLAGSTAND was the flag man ok

I often go to the track in my car just for fun, but watching this constantly reminds me the dangers of this sport.

Some nasty ones here. Tho I'm surprised you don't have a couple of the worst from Bristol. I forget the more recent one, but check out Michael Waltrip going partway through the access gate in 1990.

2:09 I think that's zolder Edit: I know it was zandorvot I got confused somehow.

2020 Salzburgring guy just ignored Physics

I have seen 2:50 quite a few times in crash montages... & not once did I know that Bruno Junquiera was one of the drivers in that. 😖

6:48 XD I'm sorry but DAMN GUY HAD TO GET OUT BUT DID IT SO FAST LIKE he was in a rush to go somewhere.

these people were very lucky to walk away. sadly there are some in the sport who didn't.

The 2020 Salzburgring one is the weirdest crash I've ever seen

@4:25 WTF, that is horrifying

I'm changing my name to Manfred Winkelhock.

I recorded a Legends car wreck that was pretty insane back in July 2023

Hasta donde es deporte, hasta donde locura

Can’t believe they race ‘legends’ at Cadwell. They don’t even race them at proper tracks in the US, let alone Uk.

Unknown track is Zandvoort.

the unknown driver is Hans Shmidt

John Mickle raced in junior ministox at the same time as me (both spedeworth).Only john was good at it,and i was rubbish at it!.1980's.

1:41 That car gave them flag wavers a haircut That’ll be 10 dollars

I see no signs of 'insanity',

Ok I have seen almost all the videos

5:08 Grab your shampoo and soap! Its time to take a bath!

Impressiona, impcta, mas é bem interessante ver q alguns saíram ilesos...👍✌🙏

1:30 Was that Martin Brundle narrating over Sprint Cars? wtf

i miss spike tv

Alliot's crash in Mexico was 1988, not 1987 ;)

WTF. The first one is from 2003 and there isn't any runoff area there and no tire walls at all! At least there should have been a chicane before a curve like that.

Bro that 2020 unknown was a goofy crash.

well, even thought countless people have died and been maimed and disfigured, it's really important that this type of Sport continue, otherwise, guys would have to figure out something important to do with their lives!

1:30 is that martin brundle???? lmao

Yep, not a proper crash unless wheels come off.

Crazy I’m telling Greek.

It’s terrible but they know the risks.

No way the polish driver at 4:20 survived

The Unknown driver is Robert Wolk EDIT: at Brands Hatch

5.12 that flag waver was centimeters from death

No 1977 South African Grand Prix?

Did anybody die?

4:04 Flugplatz is not translated to flying place. Flugplatz means airport.

Fml, these drivers were lucky...

(Screaming) OHHHHHHHH!

V8 Supermidgits on a mile lmao😅

You could have honored the deceased with research work so that we could name them! No one is unknown.

3:40 I never seen the crash full spedd

another really bad one sprint car carsh would be lucas wolfe at Williams Grove Speedway in march 25th 2007 one of the worst modern day sprint car wreaks

And some did Not walk away.

2:42 kinda looks like jeff krosnoffs fatal crash.

Did most of these drivers die?

hmmmm... they need to practise a little bit more

I think that as a fair tribute to the drivers, the information should clarify whether they died in the accident, were left with injuries that did not allow them to continue competing, or were able to continue their normal lives and racing. Really very strong images that testify that in each category, the pilots literally risk their lives or physical integrity.

4:28 how can you underestimate a turn so much? Compared to the other drivers he was going so much faster

tom ginetta hahahaha

😂

Skill issue
