Michael McDowell’s big off from last year. You may have seen this footage before – but it really is amazing that he walks away from this one: 180-ish mph into a concrete wall, followed by several massive bumps on the head. Nascar – they might not know how to turn in both directions, but they’re [...]

Ow.
at 10:54 am on Friday April 10, 2009Latvala in Rally Portugal. Big crash, down a very big hill. Both driver and co-driver survive. Roll cages really are quite strong these days… but I imagine the headache is still quite severe.
Reasons not to rally a Renault 5
at 7:44 am on Tuesday April 7, 2009Ah, the joys of rallying a small, light French hatch. Rallying into trees, into ditches, into walls. Rallying them into pretty much everything. And they are flimsy.

It’ll polish out…
at 7:13 am on Monday November 3, 2008One of the most spectacular rally crashes ever committed to film for our personal flinching. This is one hell of a bang, and the resulting pirouette, double-salco dismount gets 9/10 from the judges. Ow.
The Nordschleife of the ’70s.
at 12:42 pm on Saturday November 1, 2008Apologies for the lack of arythmia-inducing soundtrack, but its nice to know that the ‘Ring has been catching people out for a very long time. Check out the amount of cars that simply fall over, and the man who falls clean out of his car. I winced for him. Beetles really don’t do track days, do [...]
