6:06 Bonus Clip
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
Good video. Straight to the point, no commentary except that in the clip itself. Excellent.
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.
@@h.a.9880 If I’m not mistaken, that driver was Martin Brundle during practice of the 1984 Monaco Grand Prix.
@@h.a.9880i think he asked what track he was at 😂
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 ;)
Man that Arca crash at Atlanta still amazes me. Great video!
He was saved by Dr. Jerry Punch who was reporting at the time.
@@nolancain8792 What Dr. Jerry Punch did that day is nothing short of a miracle. God bless that Man.
The sounds seems wayyy more brutal without any comments ! Amazing job
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
Didn’t that essentially end his career? I know he missed a long spell but can’t remember if he made it back.
@saragrant9749 he came back and is probably still one of the top 3-5 drivers in the comp, won Bathurst 3 years ago
@@saragrant9749 if i remember correctly, he holds the mount panorama lap record
I was thinking about putting it in but I'm not trying to get a immediate 18+ restriction
@@crazycars81 it sounds brutal and horrifying to watch happy that you didn't add it
This is a great video❤. I love how it is not just a couple bad ones and then some tame crashes
Solid and very diverse man…. Thanks for sharing!
That SuperGT hit on the exit of 130R is the most violent hit ive ever seen barring Kenny Brack
I hope this starts a series because there are so many more that can be added to this list!
Need more of these
1:51 bro got Gordon Smiley'd (the indy driver who had the (almost) exact same crash "scene" as seb bourdais)
That SuperGT machine was blowing over like a stock car, monstrously brutal…all of these
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.
That and Grosjean's crash. That one was brutal as well. The three worst F1 crashes of this century: Bianchi's fatal crash, then Kubica and Grosjean.
The train conductor 😂😂😂
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.
Ummm no….
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.
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
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.
Well done 👏
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
Nice compilation of different racing series. Maybe next edition include Michael McDowell's 2008 Texas qualifying crash & Kyle Busch's 2015 Daytona Xfinity crash.
Some hugh hits, new sub!!
Nice thx!
The Brad Smith/Austin Wayne Self crash(not included in video) was possibly the most violent head-on crash I've seen at Talladega.
What is the crash at the thumb
For the crash of andy farr it's on qualyfing or on race ??????
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.
1:50 is terrifyingly reminiscent to Gordon Smiley's fatal crash....
1:20 bro both drivers are in the same family, the crash was horrible.
SuperGT cars nowadays are insane like they don’t seem to be going too fast but also get airborne all the time
i was at the suzuka one, you could see all the fans heads looking at the screen in the stands after it
If there was any footage of it, Keith Kassulke at the Bathurst 12hr 2023 would be on this list for sure
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.
1:53 Gordon Smiley.
it almost repeated history
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.
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.
I wonder if that was the speed the tires were spinning once they got airborne or if that’s the telemetry just going haywire from the impact
@@acog_quarks8753 Good point, I never thought about that.
@@acog_quarks8753 Yep.
Some of them that I remember to watched it , But others I have never seen before, and some missed are not in there, and Good/ many crash video
Oh, Thanks
Welcome and Thanks
👍
🙂
Last clip is Damien Daumas 2010 I'm pretty sure
I had been expecting to see Craig Lowndes's 1999 Calder Park rollover.
The crash that ended Emmo's career.
That last one looked like it was straight out of BeamNG!!
I’ve been wondering about that bonus clip for a long time, i can never find where it came from
damien daumas at rallye lyon charbonnieres 2009
Has anyone been able to read what is written in 6:16?
2:38 An Audi?!?! Understeering?!?! How can this be?
In the 1st crash the driver Marco Mapelli got himself & walked away. How, I do not know!
What about Elliott Sadler's 2010 Pocono crash, where he experienced over 80 gs of force when he hit the inside wall? That seems like a rather big hit
There's really only one camera angle on that and it was focused more on Kurt Busch.
Arca Brakes Speculator Crash At Atlanta Motor Speedway In 1988
Was that Sebastian Bourdais crash the one where his cockpit got punctured and his leg was stabbed almost bleeding out? Or was that another driver
You are thinking of Joesph Newgarden. He almost bled to death.
James hinchcliffe
I feel like rosenqvist with the stuck throttle and mortara/sims in formula E marakesh should be there
No Katherine Legge at road America 2006 In champcar?
I would add Jimmie Johnson Watkins Glen in 2000 straight into the barrier wide open with no brakes at the end of the straight
2:21 how could he have survived that?
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.
Still gotta say R.I.P. to Greg Moore at 5:05 even this video is not about him. But would lose his life in also a viscous hit 3 years later.
That Sebastian one 2:05 you can see someone had basically done the same thing
ARCA always seems to have brutal crashes
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.)
@@DDS029 great insights, thanks for the reply man

Crazy doesnt know what to say im watching his livestream rn

1:50 Is it me or did i get flashbacks from gordon smiley's crash?
Should have included zeb wises sprint car crash at charlotte nc from this year
I saw that one live, it was ugly to see and even worse to hear- you could actually hear it over the engines of 13 cars.
Roman Grosjean and Luciano Burti also spring to mind
I've recreated that Bathurst crash many times over the years in games😊
Andy farr survived the crash at Daytona but the place that taken the life of Neil bonnett and Rodney Orr.
@2:34 I still dont understand how you survive it @3:50 I wish racecars still sounded like this
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.
I'm saying like concrete walls, the g forces there were due to a spinning motion.
Pay attention kids. There were NO crashes in motorsport prior to the 90's.
what about Ayrton Senna's crash in '94 it was fatal
Wanna see a hard hit search Gordon Smiley, Indy. Worse crash in history of motorports. Except maybe poor Greg Moore.
I’m certainly no expert and it’s easy for me to say, but I’ve never understood the stuck open throttle thing. Can’t you cut the engine or put it in neutral? Maybe someone can enlighten me.
In most cases, especially oval tracks, there is no time. With instinct in slamming on the brakes first, and realizing that isn't going to work, it's too late for Plan-B. When I was racing, I always put my main battery disconnect switch 3 inches short of arm's length on an interior panel that my hand could slide across. I would never have to look for it. Out stretch my arm, and slide my hand across the sheet metal so my hand hits it without having to look. Never needed it in that kind of a hurry, but it was there, and as quick as possible to get to it. A lot of racing organizations have a specific place you have to mount it so the safety crew knows where it is on every car. No on every stopped me from having two of them running in series so its OFF no matter which one you hit.
how does 10-50 tons maybe more roll like this?
😢😢😢
I don't think I have said OH Shit so many times in 6 minutes
I personally know Andy and he told me about the crash . Hoosier tires.
That Suzuka one from this year is about the worst thing I've ever seen
There was a big crash later on in the year at the same track when 2 super formula cars went off at 130r
Also a pretty heavy one involving Lawson after that
@@Skells22 One of them actually went THROUGH THE FENCE and ended up on the other side of the fence, between turns 7 and 8

how did they survive is the only question i can ask
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.
You missed Gordon Smiley, 1982 Indy 500 Qualifying. kzhead.info/sun/n6aOdq5qhmukgHA/bejne.htmlsi=6ZKtA2KkL5QNxEi1
how do you have the hardest crashes and not have gordon smiley.
Cause I don't include fatal
For the last clip, the only thing I know is that it happens in a french speaking country
They should bring IROC back.
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.
These are good......but by no means the hardest of all time.
I am aware but this is a series, I try to mix in lesser-known clips to add diversty instead of the obviusly worst ones that everyone knows
@crazycars81 keep the good work up 👏
@@crazycars81 ....Ah....gotcha.
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.
The last ne was fatal the driver was killed
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.
Grosjean crash ?
5:55 ive seen videos from the 50s with better quality than this
Stupid indestructible GTA tree
Nothing to see here move on to the next video
Damn ok?
What are you here for? You want to see death? This ain't the place no
Bro is just constantly angry
No, I like it here.
4:45 women no wonder she crashed look im not saying women are bad drivers but there are drivers that at least respect other on road
