There have not been a lot of great videos Youtube or Streetfire for a couple days so I went digging for crash videos this afternoon. Here’s what I found.

If you’ve watched crash clips, you’ve definitely seen this crash of the 1998 Japanese GT event:

Backstory: On May 3, 1998 Japanese racing star Tetsuya Ota was involved in a chain reaction collision during a GT championship race. Ota was trapped in his car for more than 50 seconds while exposed to 800-degree temperatures. There was no safety crew coming to the rescue as fellow drivers frantically extinguished the flames. The result ended with serious burns to Ota and a lawsuit against track promoters and sponsors. Thankfully Ota lived, but suffered major permanent scars from the burns that had resulted from the delayed reaction by safety crews.

Here’s a Ferrari F50 driving down some stairs at a promotional test drive:

Here’s a rally crash compilation. BTW, I’d mute the music on the rest of these.

This post would not be complete without one stupid biker stunt compilation:

And somehow this guy lands on his feet…
