Racing Video/Picture Thread

[RealRacer4]

Any random/interesting/funny videos/pictures that's found somewhere online or in person can be posted here. Kind of like the random discussion thread in the whirlpool section except it's all racing. The whole point of this thread is so instead of having a million separate threads of any racing video found that might be considered worth sharing, you can simply have it all in one thread just to keep things more organized.

1988 USAC Midget Indoor Series:


Sprint Car Crash Test:

[Vincent Giacalone]

Speaking of crash tests:

[RealRacer4]

Too bad they don't have on-board shots like this these days. This shot is from the inside of GT 1/2? Porsche at Laguna Seca.

[RealRacer4]

Now THAT'S funny!

[RealRacer4]

Why can't ESPN/Speed Channel cover random crap like this back in the day? I know Versus (soon to be NBC Sports Network) does some of the regional broadcast races but I'm afraid Versus may get corrupted like FOX did to Speed.

This video is awesome xD

the Rondeu team trailer after the 1983 LeMans race

[Sparkz47]

Figured I'd post some Circuit of the Americas pictures, since the forum has a surprising lack of them

Ordinary map of the track


Another map, this time giving a good view of the elevation change


3D render of the completed track


Construction work on the track in progress


Sorry if they're a bit large, they were the smallest good quality images I could find.

EDIT: Also, looks like someone had a bit of early testing.

That would be David Coulthard, not Vettel, or Webber, and is an older version of the Red Bull car.

And the Le Mans hauler is epic.

There's a video of him driving there, too. You haven't lived until you've seen an F1 do donuts in the dirt.

[RealRacer4]

Yup. Saw the video. How awesome would it be if they raced on dirt? Not

Well, it would definitely be fun to watch.

[RealRacer4]

I got a bit bored and decided to do captions. It's my first time doing this so they might not turn out to be as funny as others are. I hope you like them.

[Mother of Invention]

Speaking of Mikey, a friend reminded me of this.



It's funny what Three years and a huge wad of cash will do to a driver.

[Mother of Invention]

guess who this was over 20 years ago

[navycook75]

some bald dude making a weird face?

The true AOW cars that I like looking at.

Holy crap, its Dave Despain. Gosh, how much things have changed


Might as well contribute and to start, I know I can't be the only one that wants to see this happen again:

[RealRacer4]

The fact that the truck series hasn't raced on a road course in over a decade, let alone over a year, should be considered a crime.

I really wish Tim Richmond was still alive. If I was around to see him race live, he would've been considered my all-time favorite driver.

There's nothing in the rulebook that says you had to see him race for him to be your favorite.

That is true. Just the way he drove the crap out of the cars was incredible. And his personality was awesome too.

Now, of course I'm dreaming, but which two drivers would you think would win? Ayrton Senna or Tim Richmond? I'm curious to hear what people think of this.

[Mother of Invention]

note that the trailers on the infield grass

[RealRacer4]

^lol. ummmm...

[Mother of Invention]

If you can watch this video with out wanting to inflict self-harm, then your not human

[RealRacer4]

^I MISS HIM MAKING THESE COMPILATIONS!!!

He would always have the rarest videos out of everyone. Aside from the fatal crashes, I liked his videos, although it was a long time ago.

Some cool videos for the week:

The Closed Course World Record that still stands to this day:


The endless amount of engines blowing up being that the rain pushed the race to Monday:


The most insane race you'll ever see:


And this :

Unnecessary censorship, Formula One style

[navycook75]

I have found a Paradox in the system.....

[RealRacer4]

Bumped...because this video is awesome.

[RealRacer4]

Bumped (reason I'm doing this is to keep this alive for race season).



You can say that this also applies to the Balls of Steel thread in the Whirlpool section. The fun starts at 1:51. Me and my friends one day were watching wingless sprints highlights video. And man, this guy can drive.

[BWard]

This video features Dale Earnhardt's famous 'Pass In The Grass'

[RealRacer4]

Still fascinates me how he kept the lead, let alone keeping the car under control. Here's a pass through the grass/dirt for ya.


And for those who wondered what REALLY happened during the Indy Gold Coast wreck start back in '02, you're in for a surprise. One of the scariest racing home videos you'll probably find on YouTube.

That wreck makes "the big one" look like a fender bender. Holy crap...who was the moron who went through there without touching the brakes?

Was he one of the guys that went upside down in the crash? I just watched the tv footage of it on YouTube but I couldn't really tell where he was in the crash.

[RealRacer4]

Patrick Carpentier was the one who flipped in the air, Tora Takagi and Jimmy Vasser were the ones who got upside down.

I mean where was Fernandez in the crash?

[RealRacer4]

If you watch the sky cam replay, Tora Takagi (red, white car) goes flying thanks to the momentum of Mario's ARCA-braking skills and Tora's car hits the top of Adrian's car, which is when he gets injured at that moment.

Yeah I just managed to point out in another replay with the same angle where he got injured.

[bartman97]

That was your usual big storm in south-east Queensland.

[RealRacer4]

Saw this on facebook today. Never, in my life, have I seen a legends car look as bad as this. The driver WALKED AWAY from this accident. There was a driver that had a roof cam and the wreck happened right in front of the driver and will have a video of the wreck soon.
