Australian Supercars - The Worst Crashes

[@NickoOutBush]

Ay there..I was a pro motor sport photographer for many years here in Australia. And witnessed quite a few of this crashes. When you spend enough time with these racers, you can’t help but respect there craft and the sport we all know and love. One I didn’t see was Paul Weel’s accident in practice for the Bathurst 1000. Paul, famous for his all alloy racing cooling system manufacture and marketing.. he was a pretty good pedaller. Had decent finishes and importantly could seriously be in contention given his stats. This accident ended his career as a driver. And today there are big yellow flashing lights to warn others what is coming in the blind. Great video. Brought back some memories 💨🏁

Paul Weel was lucky. He was seriously injured, but he survived.

@1:59 you see a car T-Bone another car. Driver Will Davison suffered a broken back as a cause of this crash.

[@boogaloo8134]

I used to watch this at Bathurst Australia, absolute cracking weekends. Thanks for the good time memories.

So good to hear Barry Sheens voice,

[@SteveMarksMusic]

I can't *unsee* that leg breaking in the very last video!! Ouch!

[@boahneelassmal]

massive crash, genuinely concerned for driver. Commentator: "brilliant start!"

[@shinystarmiestudios4179]

5:49 You don't realise how lucky Paul Weel was with this crash unless you know that two years previously, Mark Porter was killed in a very similar crash near Reed Park in the 2nd tier Supercars series.

A few classic old ones missed in this comp but still good

Proud Australia here the V8 Supercars is the best racing series in the world

[@jimmysurvivor]

so much nostalgia in one video omg

[@omegafolf]

The worse Supercar crash I've seen was a stalled start and gets ran into and creates a giant fireball. They it was the last year they had the fuel tank in that position keep other fireball situations with stalled starts

[@neozone_tfp]

The chaz mostert crash was just a tad of a loss of focus and the car skipping out and to see the break of his leg from slamming his handbrake and the center console is just horrible but it goes to show the passion of these drivers and any driver in extreme motorsport like GT3’s and supercars and Porsche cup and formula racing, such high speeds and then going from 300km/h and/or 260km/h to 0 is just mad, a gokart crash for me at 50mph basically 75km/h still hurts me but it goes to show the commitment of these drivers, have to respect them

[@KrakenRacing818]

Iv seen people say the Pepsi max car was "the worst crash of all time" I need people to explain plz I don't watch V8 supercars that often so I need some explain

[@mrdiamond365_]

He rode over the wall into a Marshall's post and almost went down into trees. He also broke his thigh bone in the crash

[@kligermanfan48]

He snapped his leg over the shifter. I'd say that's a pretty gnarly injury.

[@Golden-dog88]

everyone has there own opinion but its simple watch a bunch of crashes/ accidents then decide what is your worst

[@marktucker208]

@1:45 am i missing something, the brake lights arent even on?

[@MrSkeleton131]

3:07 would highly recommend watching this crash from the Jack Daniels Altima onboard (car behind James Courtney). The camera angle in this video doesn't do justice to how bad it was

[@mitchellbarnard4285]

Crashing and banging.

[@zombl337og]

i respect Australia for being V8 connoisseurs along with the USA

[@CX0909]

8:28 WTF is that sound 😆😂🤣

[@Ultimate23Dragon]

The replay played in slow motion with the sound on, & for some reason it played that one commentator's yell in slow motion.

[@CX0909]

@@Ultimate23Dragon the question was rhetorical. I just found the commentators voice in slow replay hilarious.

[@smedleyx]

some I hadn't seen before, cool

[@northwestrailfanofficial]

I still don’t get why Bathurst hasn’t installed SAFER Barriers.

[@vesnabernjak-ord8674]

because it’s a public road.

[@RunningOn7CylindersYT]

It doubles as a public road, one of the winners of the 12 hour in 2022 and 2023 owns a house on Conrod Straight

[@mrragge7986]

Dont see why thats a problem, all other street circuits have them

[@RunningOn7CylindersYT]
