Peugeot 908 Le Mans Crash/Accident

[3lcho]

ha! a audi r10 was in front!........oh wait thats not the point

[tommykl]

@3lcho It was practice, not the race. It could have easily been the other way around ;)

[TheDavies17]

I belive that was poo that got stuck to the camera

[KirioukyNanaya]

HAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAH

[MrQTIP56]

i love the 908 i just wasted 4 million dollars on!

[Risto1910]

was someone having sex in the background?

[Canthelpuwin1]

At lease he walked out of it. Im mean he took a hard hit. Seriously did u see that!

[RidgeRacerLord]

@Canthelpuwin1 The monocots that the drivers are in are REALLY strong. You should have seen Audi's two crashes from this years le mans. Both walked out.

[ProfessorIgor]

@RidgeRacerLord moncoque... monocot is a type of plant... no worries !! LOL

[RidgeRacerLord]

@ProfessorIgor Yeah xD Just realized I made that mistake after I hit post. It would make sense if it were called a monocot though, since it is one solid part.

Ahh, looks like biology is still rubbing off...

[zuzulo56]

"Car Go Boom!"...JUST like on the bloody M5.

[Tuningfreak899]

THATS why they are called porsche curves. =)

[darkus714]

if he broke a toe, he's not unharmed.

[keith8880]

This video needs circus music

[mrmugawump99]

broke a toe?

lucky s.o.b

[DannyBoySmith1993]

Twas like CCTV was playing hide n seek with the Peugeot & catches him at 0:30 :P !

[noni15081998]

That's what I want Peugeot to do: Crash their cars!

BECAUSE: Audi RULES!

[gilberw1]

@noni15081998 - Not today at Spa they didn't!

[noni15081998]

@gilberw1 But they started well down the grid at Spa, I've just been told they werent near the top 3, but they lost a bit badly didnt they...?

[gilberw1]

@noni15081998 - The Audis were easily the fastest in practice and qualifying and the 3 Peugeots had a nightmare as the qualifying was cut short due to a crash. As such they started well down the grid (one of the 908's started in 48th place!) but the end result was Peugeot 1 & 2 followed by Audi in 3rd.

Was a real crazy weekend and I have no idea now what will happen at Le Mans!

[gqsm]

That cctv operator needs some training and practice. He sucked at working the camera.

[shobin05]

audi didnt crash...damn u germans!

[miamimo]

crappy french cars

[JoSigurd92]

@iguisard you must be fucking retarded

[scratchy996]

@iguisard it's real , search for "truth in 24" , it's a good documentary

[Sacriphyx]

@iguisard - You actually think this is from a game?

[NeonGenesisPlatinum]

Far out, that camera man was certainly on the ball, NOT!

[Poltroman2]

@NeonGenesisPlatinum

this is a camera with remote control, without cameraman

[JoaoSuperCarros]

holy shit

[Lord0fSteel]

0:16 - Email!

[enrique23468]

wth? the guy survived that? jeez them cars are rock solid!

[mcenroe]

@enrique23468 The driver was Marc Gené, he is alive and actually he works for the spanish LaSexta TV as a F1 commentator.

[Mazurcothebeast]

@mcenroe And he won the 24 hours of Le Mans in 2009 too ;)

[circusboy90210]

@enrique23468 no actually they're designed to fly apart taking energy away from the accident that would harm the driver, so the more violent or spectacular the accident seems the safer the occupant is, the car dies so you don't. cars should be sectional & designed so that they fall apart & you replace what's broken & reassemble what's not without tools , you should be able to do it on the side of the road.

[councilglasses]

Dont mix crossply with radial,ever

[domelola]

Now I remember the Benz's crash in 1998.

[randycornhole]

That was exciting. Not!!

[AudiMovies]

fly on the wings of whatever but no love, fly peugeot, flyyyy xDDDDDD

[craigg1981]

VICIOUS!!

[XplicitViews21]

Damn I hope he was ok. but that car got fucked up

[f40f50enzof60]

@XplicitViews21 Mark Gene was totally fine, but peugeot had to pretty much build a new car!

[Kristianthebest123]

Has the 2010 Le mans already been raced?

[Kristianthebest123]

Has the 2010 Le Mans already been raced? please tell me

[SectF1]

@Kristianthebest123

Yes it has. It was raced last weekend ;)

[Kristianthebest123]

@SectF1 ok, thanks:)

[myjustcause2]

@Kristianthebest123 its allways every 2nd weekend of June eg.12/13

[Kristianthebest123]

Has the 2010 Le Mans already been raced? please tell me

[dfragglet]

@Hickoryhighbandgeek shame they couldn't kick butt where it counted. Audi 1, 2, 3 Peugeot's no where!

[Kristianthebest123]

Has the 2010 Le Mans already been raced? please tell me

[kxjack]

He won the race in 2009 anyway respect !

[hablasdemi]

THAT WAS MARC GENE AT THE WHEEL. FERRARIS SPANISH F1 TEST DRIVER

[dangerherosandwich]

What were the weather conditions at the time of this crash?

It seems a bit overcast to me.

[Tlaloc787]

Audi has won since 2000 until 2008^^

and you say peugeot is amazing?!?

[japanigro]

yes yes yes, lol. couldnt have happened to a better car manufacturer, fucking french pieces of shit. Cant beat german engineering!!!!! audi, vw, bmw, merc FTW

[AudiMovies]

fuck you, peugeot sucks!

[gilberw1]

@AudiMovies No they don't!

[corenida]

@Hickoryhighbandgeek not official

[gabteichman]

Wasn't this two years ago during then practise runs?

[SectF1]

@gabteichman

yep :)

[KrVoLoK]

@corenida

/me rubs 8hrs of Le Castellet 2010 in Corenida's face

xD

[ratzinator1]

@corenida

wait for 6 weeks - if Peugeot still whoops Audi's butt with the new R15 design then Peugeot is a force to be reckon with. Audi built the car right before Sebring and couldn't test it at Le Mans. With the right amount of prep, three words Audi lives by: "Vorsprung durch Technik" - that's German for "Advancement through technology."

they'll be back up to speed with Peugeot. I doubt they will dominate but they will be running probably the same pace as in 2007 and 2008

[18PacWest]

It's a similar accident involving Peter Dumbreck.

[bmstylee]

where on la sarthe is that wreck at.

[SectF1]

@bmstylee

The Porsche Curves :)

[CaptainOmar]

Absolutely amazing how some drivers live to tell their tale after horrific crashes like these.

These guys are brave..talk about nerves of steel!

[juanchone1251]

lets fly....

[geilsonforeveryoung]

capeta, o carro voou sinistro

[909Monopoly]

bad crash, but the Mercedes CLK GTR Crash in 99 was even worse

[pauloherrera]

I hate Peugeot regular cars but.... what a cockpit hun !!!!!!

[AudiMovies]

@023R928

oh yes!!

[rottwlucky]

Audi kills Mikele Alboreto

Marc Gene wit Peugeot is intact...

audi fuck!!!

[koxzz]

are you fucking joking? As you know... Audi's are open cockpit prototypes... what did you expect.. ?

[carl206rc]

peugeot, le mans 2009  winner!!!!

[rottwlucky]

Audi kills Mikele Alboreto

Marc Gene wit Peugeot is intact...

audi fuck!!!

LE MANS 2009 audi humiliated..

HDI RULES

[AudiMovies]

@rottwlucky

yeah mate, and elephants are microwaves

[AudiMovies]

@023R928

i love you for this!! i hate peugeot :-)

[willski1221]

As soon as you get off the ground, the flat underside of the car stops making downforce and turns into a giant wing. Just one of the downsides of these cars when compared to open wheel.

[SectF1]

i believe you mean formula cars right?

[willski1221]

Formula cars are open wheeled.

Note how a "formula car" has no coverings over its wheels...

[stigsfatcousin]

Open wheel cars or Formula cars would do exactly the same if they left the ground!!

[willski1221]

Not as badly. The total underbody area of any LMP prototype is much higher than most formula cars.

[bowlcutsaresweet]

Look at that car, its unscathed after clobbering that wall. It amazing how strong race cars are these days.

[tkgeezy01]

wow!!!!

[claudio917K]

Hey that's the Maison Blanche curve, in the final part of the track, and it's absolutely impossible that he was driving at 270 km/h.... Maybe 180 or less...

[SectF1]

nope, its the Porsche Curves, and the cars are driving 270 here :)

[MayoDK]

That just shows how safe the cars are now a days. He smashes into a solid concrete wall with 270km/h and.....he breaks a toe.

[cowteeth816]

hit those gator teeth, air got underneath, and whisked him away... or at least thats wat it looked like to me

[LamboBoi12]

Did he die?

[SectF1]

nope, he only broke a toe.

[odomondongo]

no, the Ferrari test driver Marc Gene the f1-accident-suffered this last year and this year won the race

[jderumeu]

amazing speed there...almost hard to believe how fast they go...i cringed when i saw this vid...all i could think of was a greg moore rerun of the car smacking concrete barrier top first...

[WRCMeister]

lol you stupid idiot

[odomondongo]

me idiot? what?this is marc gene in this year he win 24 h of le mans , in the last year he crash peugeot´s

[ps3phreak]

where is it on the track? porsche curves?

[SectF1]

yep

[Tigerpuffer]

(only because the driver was ok) thats kindof a funny video...car comes by normally...car enters frame...goes awry...flies out of frame...like something out of an old Technicolor cartoon lol

[Jompemann]

They always uses a yellow flag as soon there is an accident but the safety car isn't coming out before it is a situation where there has been a bad accident and they always flag like that.

[DSparamus]

unharmed after that? wow

[blackhole522]

it's a yellow flag which means that there's been an accident...

[ap78crg]

looks like its got a bit of toe in on it ...ouch that hurt

[coolsauce2]

wooops!

[Vitek312]

Sounds very strange in this video...

[knight1814]

I think GT1 is the better of the two GT classes, but I do have to disagree woth you there. LMP1 is better than GT1 in my personal opinion

[rexcars27]

can you please lubricate your chair?

[TeamDVS]

Audi should win everything they enter. They dump way more money into winning Lemans, just take a look at the hospitality tent at the next race. Its bigger than most teams entire pit areas.

[Z3ROSCOTT]

what do u think was going thought that guys mind when the car started to flip?

i think it was oh.......... shit

lol

[pyromaniac1207]

nope.

efenitely 'fuck, fuck, fuck , fuck, aarrrgghhh.....'

[wroyals07]

actually, it was probably more like oh crap i have the fastest car in the competition but they didnt tell me it couldnt turn worth crap

[boostincoyote]

Wow you guys are faggots hating on the Peugeot. At this years 12hrs of Sebring it gave the Audi a run for its money. How boring is it when the audi just dominates every race its not fun to watch just like when Shumi dominated for so long in F1

[MND00]

Wow you are a fucking moron. "12hrs of Sebring gave Audi a run for its money"? Audi won the race. Meaning Audi is a better team and car, It is a more reliable car, with better drivers. Don't be mad when Audi wins Le Mans in 2009. Haha

[boostincoyote]

Im not hating on Audi theres a reason why it has won so many titles. But you guys cant go around talking shit when a team with BALLS steps up to challenge audi. Id like to see you do better. Its easy for u behind a computer to bash and hate on Peugeot but I dont see any other team putting up a better fight against Audi.

[AudiR10Guy]

I cannot wait for Audi to demolish them at le mans the way they did at Sebring

[Gompa86]

haha stupid peugeot thats just a 205 with a bodykit!!!!!

[rx8super]

jaja thats waht oyu get loser of the 908 peugeot for triying to do the imposible winnig the audi r10 rdi power and don even think of defeating the r15 tdi it will kick you peugeot losers.

[vivaSchumi7]

relible in a crash, but nowhere else

[marco6981]

Thats what happens when the French try to take on the Audi R10 diesel with their own diesel prototype.

[miauw777]

Where are the times of the rothmans porsches with superb engineering and superb drivers?

[Preenline]

I heard that the chassis was a right-off...

[muppetman666]

it was but because they were a frnch team no body noticed when they changed it

[eljaco88]

Ouch, i wonder why when filming it no one even went ''oooohhh...'' they kept quiet!

[SectF1]

Its a security cam, not at tv cam, so there are no commentators. :P

[eljaco88]

No i didn't mean commentators lol i ment i thought if people were filming it they woukd have gone ''OH MY GOG'' but now i know, security, cool

[fenderboy199]

no u can clearly hear that youve just held a camera to the screen and recorded it and put it as your own

not good :(

[coolL9457]

Marc raced for f1 before and didnt do that well mostly cause he raced in minardi a bad team but in le mans he must have struggled alot based on what i seen him do as an f1 racer

[roadamerica30]

are your shorts clean yet?

[AlbaG50]

He got the screen all muddy!

lol

[me2tal]

haha, I love the panning of the camera!

"where the heck did that car go??"

[zene98]

dobrze ze zyje, reszte sie wyklepie

[tigerking214]

was the first an audi?

it kinda look like my favorite car in Race Driver GRID lol

[l0rd0f5hit]

i wanna see villneuve win le mans so bad! we need another triple crown winner!

[dresse9800]

LOL peugeot, get it!! speed isn't evrything at lemans

Tom K is the best!!,

[Raikkonen1111112]

Aggred

[ffortress1]

Ouch, le mans is be amazing...but...

sometimes...bad things can happen, Urf

[the1andonlyharrison]

its always a good time at le mans.

[trialsted]

ouch. looks a little awkward getting him out of the tiny cockpit. you'd think there would be something in the design regs of the car to get the driver out without risking spinal injuries?

[LordJesseD]

Poor guys...

[MindBullets2142]

was this 2008? casue i ahvent seen this anywhere else yet... also, how many cars did "poojoo" and audi have each in this race, 2008, cause i thought itw as 3, but 1 audi crashed, and i didnt ehar of a poojoo crashing, and 3 of each fisnishe nicely... :D

[101Metallica]

this crash was during the test days 2 weaks prior to the race. They had a new car at the start of the race.

[pajo1982]

That's Peugeot to you. How are the big three doing these days?

[MindBullets2142]

lol, ford, GM and chrysler? there in the shithole... and our gov. thinks it would be smart to bail them out... im so confused, all this extra tax money is being wasted on problems the citizins didnt cause... whats next, oil company bail outs?

[SectF1]

maybe because the taxes the american government get from the workers (more than 70.000 alone in GM!) actually can pay it back.

[ioukkj]

i saw le mans 08 silver stone 1000km race its loud!

[DHFHades]

just because the cars look similar doesn't mean one copied the other. the rules for what a car can be designed like are pretty rigid, so to get the maximun performance out of your car and still be legal to race they are inevitably going to end up looking similar

[BrutalDeluxe80]

just check who actually builds the chassis for both cars.

[italdesign908]

lol

[MindBullets2142]

isnt that what just CRASHED and DIDNT win lemans and tried to catch up to the audi at high speeds but sideways?!:D

[italdesign908]

screw you lamborghini4lyf. Peugeot 908 pwns all sons of bitches

[SectF1]

ehh.... NOT!

[MindBullets2142]

isnt that what just crashed and didnt win lemans :D

[nlawrie]

yeah, why dont peurgoet just stick to making 103's?

[lamborghini4lyf]

serves them right copying audi trying to take their crown at le mans

[ChrisWhyte1987]

in what did they copy Audi.

[SectF1]

Agree.

Audi/Tom Kristensen FTW!

[MindBullets2142]

ya, they copied audi! and they still didnt win le mans :D, i dont like them, just because they copied audi...

[victor24h]

pobre marc genè!!!!

[smazms]

i give that.. -3 out of ten for cornering

[kynigh]

Problems with aerodynamic or lack of grip

[LeMansMotorsport]

Why shouldn't it be 100% real? i saw it live!!!

[Jullemann5]

Tom Kristensen, Wuhuuu!

I'm proud to be danish! He won!

[TrcDK]

yes yes! Tom Kristensen!!!

[kocko67]

Audi victorious again at LE MANS

[LolaJudd]

their 2004, 2005, and 2006 wins were hollow when up against privateer teams.

[amic92]

YES YES!!! Tom Kristensen won for the 8th time!

[LolaJudd]

This crash is NOT like that of the Mercedes of Peter Dumbreck from 1999. That car had a BAD aero imbalance. Stephane Ortelli's Courag-0reca LC70 Judd was hit by a slower gt car in the 1,000 km of Monza. No pilot has ever died in the 25 years that Courage Competition have built race cars (now Courage-Oreca).

[nlawrie]

i remember watching the Mercedes crash in 1999 live on tv, i couldnt believe my eyes!

[KEpS29i0]

Stephane ortelli was not hit by a slower gt car have a look for yourself, type stephane ortelli crash into the search box and click the 1st video. there is no1 near him. I agree with the mercedes bit though. several mercedes flipped during that year at le mans.

[LolaJudd]

Stephane Ortelli had been hit by a gt car prior to his crash in a Courage-Oreca LC70 with a Judd V-10.

[meindopen]

Fake computer-generated Peugeot flying through the air shown, along with sgi smoke/dust.  Real aftermath of an actual crash with marshals at the car helping out. Nice work with covering up the actual wipe-out with the computer graphics, though.

[meindopen]

...or just weird resolution on the video...
