The Worst and Craziest GT-R Crash We Have Ever Seen! And he Walked Away! - The Full Story

Sideways at 270km/h and then rolls 11 and a half times.....and walks away.
Mick Mansour’s crash at the 2022 GT-R Challenge at Cootamundra Airport was the first crash at the event in 14 years of running. It was also the worst GT-R crash we’ve ever seen but the safety equipment did its job and saved his life. In this video, Mick tells the story both before, during and after the crash. He also talks about how he will be back, bigger and better than ever. Incredible story that needs to be watched in full.

My dad threw a Mk2 Escort off the side of a mountain in New Zealand 40 years ago. The one thing he was adamant on was a fully seam welded chassis and the best quality roll cage there was, thicker by a lot than the requirement for the races and he was pretty happy to crawl out of a car that was 4 inches narrower and survived rolling down a mountain and through the tops of the trees to the ground, and he had no broken bones apart from the co-driver who I think had a broken wrist. A good cage will save your life for sure, never skimp out

[@Oldhex1978]

Absolutely and safety gear, technology has come so far so update the old equipment.

[@DirtySlapper99]

My dad rolled his mk2 off the Dublin mountains 5 lads in it they all got thrown out it went so far down dad never seen it again but his brother got to it and said it was the size of a fridge the engine got ejected they never found it

Good driving will save you too. derp

[@Mr_jz_12]

Guy that i knew when i first got my licence used to rally wrx's (was a v2 i believe). Some how between him and his co driver, somoene fucked up and they missed a hairpin and went straight..... of a cliff. good cage and seat saved them.

[@lancecarter6837]

@lockjawjak, my dad was rallying mid 70's in NZ for Toyota (Toyota Levin), and was first on the scene of accidents more than he would have liked. And some of those scenes were not pretty even with a roll cage. Props to those who build them well.

[@judgemental9253]

How fast 12 year old jdm fanboys think a stock GTR is

[@fuhkoffandie]

Whenever you're doing over 150 mph, your front end should never be higher than the rear of the car. That thing has so much air under the front, I'm surprised it didn't flip over backwards, like a tunnel hull racing boat. You really got to lower that front-end, and get an air dam on there. There's just too much air under that car, you need to lower the whole thing, actually.

[@blameusa7082]

Could see from the start he should have gotten out of it! ridiculous

[@QOSQualityofSpeed]

I think a lot of that was wind air. Downforce was not enough and actually the car started to act like a wing. The other thing is that you were breaking free constantly with the rear tires because of the excessive power. The tires were not gripping which means that I suppose you don't want to limit your power so you have to get larger wider tires you might have to cut it out the trunk area and mount a smaller axle. Or put on fender flares and get slicks

[@marsdenbalaska784]

In America we were taught Safety FIRST

[@clemfandango7175]

11 rolls means official wolrd record for a car rolled on camera. Before it was the Aston Martin DBS 7 times roll from Casino Royale, that held that record.

While the drivers voluntarily put their lives in thier own hands when they drive at Coota, you are always riding shotgun with them with your livelihood should someone not survive a crash. This is a stark reminder of what you have on the line too brother.

This guy is such a straight shooter and no bullshit. I wasn't going to watch this video but I'm bloody glad I did! He speaks about people giving him things and just dropping there things to help him, That's the power of a community who who a damn about each other because I bet if it happened to them, Mick would do the same thing at the drop of a hat. Wild fucking crash that was, But he stayed positive throughout ( at least what we saw ) and that's the most important part of recovering from such a massive accident. Thanks again mate, My hats off to you and I'm glad to see you got out of this with essentially, No physical injuries!

Love the postive attitude! Unfunny circumstances but the way you told the story was bloody hilarious. Hopefully no repeats on this one though!

Now imagine how I feel working at motorcycle gear shop and trying to explain why a Arai costs what it costs.

[@kaw628]

@@s70driver2005 It's ridiculous how many people think safety equipment isn't worth the high end prices. In 2011 I was preparing for the motocross season, had an engine lock up off the face of a 70 foot triple and send me over the bars. I landed face first into the uphill of the landing hard enough to crush my T12-L1 vertebrae (and literally shorten me by an inch) but didn't even get a concussion thanks to my Shoei VFX-W. I wish it was on video, it was the scorpion to end all scorpions, my butt cheeks hit my shoulder blades and I saw my heels hit the ground above my head. Shoei, Troy Lee, and Arai are where it's at, I've seen them all save lives without a doubt, including mine more than once.

What a roller coaster of horror and relief this video put us all through!

Now there's a real racer ! Humble and appreciative, but determined. Glad to see you're ok and look forward to that 7 at Coota.

[@burn4005]

Great to see him well and an advocate for safety of his customers. In the end, cars operating at this level are motorsport and should have the gear. Aircon and numberplates or not. witnessing a fatal crash at QR in 2016 changed my perspective and I'll never get in a car on a track without a cage and HANS again. turbo surving low earth orbit made me laugh though!

[@hpa101]

Farkkkk mate! So glad you walked away from that one, scary stuff - Taz.

Wow! I don’t know this gentleman but I can tell he is certainly loved by the performance community. What a story we can all learn from. Someone is watching over you. 💪

[@linchester8464]

mate your are lucky to be alive, that multiple rolls after the car going sideway would def give anyone a big scare and fearing for the worse that the driver would be killed. Recently the rocket powered truck blew the rear tires and did the exact rollover and burst into flames killing the driver in the post crash fire.

[@drdesmo8489]

Holy Fack ! His spidey sense’s were telling him, before the run. But when we are in the moment you can’t stop your own momentum. This is a massive friendly reminder, what ever harness’s you have, put ‘em on ! Don’t fool around when it comes to safety protection, this good lad did it the right way in a horrible shituation.

When the car is getting out of control; do you ever think about lifting off the throttle in an attempt to save the car?

This is my first time watching a long voids on KZbin I experience something like this in January 14 ‘ I had 4 days working on my car because it was running really bad …. On a Friday I finally got to start and did a tune with my hondata and it felt great I wash my car and I went into my room and play some Xbox online From time I started my h22 project I have not spend anytime with my friends one of um call me and ask me to please come out and play some pool so I said y not ‘ I went out and had some fun with the guys and on so on but just before I leave home and I take my car and said ‘ damm you look good and I took a picture of it By 11pm I was coming home and I was doing abut 85mph and I Heard a knocking sound and the car pull to the left I tried to Correct the car but by then it was to late and the car hit a rock side ways and that send me 25ft into the air and it flip ….I hit a food stand down a tree and keep going till I hit Teo SUV’s till the car stop out side down . My last thought would of been :; Damm I can’t fix this one . When the car stop I could not see anything but I went out the window and walked out and waited for the police . The police take me to the hospital and did blood test and a CT scan and a MRI and he could not believe that I was in that car and I’m fine ‘ it’s hard to explain that feeling of making outa something like that for days my family would talk to me and I just felt like I was in my after life living my life it took me like 60days for my boddy and mind to understand that I was really alive and not dead ‘ I do get spasms at times on the side of my head at times and some pain on my neck but maybe it will get better :; but for the most part I’m really glad that I got to see my son and my family again . And believe or not sometimes we get signs but we don’t see um on till bad things happen you can feel it all over your body and we still do what we want People that have experience something like this we are the ones who can educate others so they don’t make the same mistakes but not everyone has chances like this brother and we have to thank god a lot after that because we are considered to be more than BLESS .
