Truck race crash

[gtett]

daaaamn!!! i thought an amount of car crashes ive seen were crazy. but with all the weight to throw around these things are nuts when thier out of control...

[SoFxDeadx]

why is the heli so low lol

[jimmyass]

the fucking helecopter

[XxBulletXPtoofxX]

1:29 He tuch his duck :D

[StanCatt]

The only reason I watched this was to see the trucks wreck.

[16989473]

funny



[njcrox]

any fatalities or serious injuries?

[BillHFA]

@njcrox Driver José Maria (taken from his truck at 1:40) sustained bruises and fractured ribs, but was back to racing months later.

[trojanoutwood]

@EcksBawks llol would you like to sit in a pace car with these fuckers behind you piling up na chopper it is then

[Blackopsmw21]

whoever had the idea to do this is stupid

[spartadude6]

At least it was obvious who won

[MrSchafgilde]

:O

[JJMetalMad999]

looks like there was a pile up on the motorway!

[fastfistfer]

pah q trancazo!!! me acuerdo de esa carrera.

[barneynward]

can you tell me if it was a non fatal crash please?

Because it looked fatal to me.

[sasbr]

@barneynward non fatal :D

[extremus22]

@barneynward It wasn't fatal. As the commentator said, the cockpits of these trucks are designed to "detach" from the chassis in case of heavy impact. In fact, the guy in the black flying cockpit was unhurt. The hurt pilot was sandwiched between two trucks; it could be worse becouse he was soaked in oil.

[PeterPan0074]

That is an accident! We wait in Misano circuit! :-)

[KingCuervo88]

reminds me of the 2002 busch series wreck at talladega

[AnimationGenius]

looks exactly like it, especially when that truck turned inwards twards the wall. lol glad theres a nascar fan around here somehwere ;)

[keokiracerhalsteren]

woooow thats crazy!

how many trucks were there involved??

[ben2mx]

Was Nelson Piquet jr driving one of those trucks?

[tutalouco]

Is Geraldo Piquet, the oldest son of Nelson Piquet.

[joeyskierdrummer]

this is just f***ing ridiculous, that's what it is..."oh yea, let's find some huge-ass trucks and cram them on a small speedway"!

[joeyskierdrummer]

oh yea, and another thing "let's use a helicopter as a "pace car", it's f***ing brilliant!"

[Arsenalover14]

omg thats crrraaazzyy!!!

[luisscsfernando]

eae seus preto

vcs ve isso nas truck racing seus gringos?

[bigbengamer]

some shit you just don't race

[MsBattyboy]

yup these things way too big ffs

[jonesy97]

Damn, debris everywhere. That must have been the longest red flag in racing history. Probably took the entire day to clean up the track.

[jaked812812]

holy crap, at first I though the helicopter was going to crash in front of the field and cause a pile-up

[skipskops]

CHRIST!!!!!!!! :O

[NismoFinder]

LOL at 1;15..that ONE guy is like haaa Fu**ers I'm outta here...scott free

[JVanDusen]

bunch of non driver wanna be's

[Descent82]

Just because they're not a top name in NASCAR, Indy, or F1 doesn't make them a "non-driver", what ignorant bullshit to say.

Racing is racing, regardless the type.

[NeroKoso]

Did anybody die? At least few were hurt...

[mauronr]

Nope. The narrator is telling how safe these trucks are. He says the cockpit is a safety capsule that is made to detach from the chassis in case of accident, just to protect the driver.

[NeroKoso]

Oh... Amazing. Thx. :)

[TruckUno]

wow?

[TDUDABOMB]

lol and before they even started! (it was their pace lap) woulda been way worse if they where going faster.

[ricardhoamorim]

O bom das corridas são os acidentes kkkkk, querendo ou não é o que mais diverte, depois vem os pegas, lógico que com toques.

[Mclarenman1]

tht helicopter was low

[floydfanTN]

it was the pace "car"

[justyomumma]

that's sooo freakin awesome. All motorsport should have a helicopter pace car.

[evidencebasedliving]

lol so crazy!

[ConE500]

That race track turned into wrecking yard in the space of 10 seconds.

HOLY SHIT!

[kazimann]

Lorries are NOT built for racing!

[micarone]

Uhumm... THESE lorries/trucks actually ARE built just for racing. Not much in common with usual lorries. Those are RACING TRUCKS...

[gth771x]

Just because you can race it, doesn't mean you should. It makes the same amount of sense as a tractor pull. Fun none the less.

[cykadelik]

just because u can speak... doesn't mean you should.... have u not stopped to think.... maybe this has a fan base. and it's no more risky then going 200mph in an F1 car.... certainly far less risky then going 200 mph on 2 wheels :S

[bridgehou]

@micarone love to see one of these pull a curtainsider with 29ton on aha

[racerdsm14391]

@kazimann Totally agree with you.. These are not built for racing.. real racing are NASCAR,INDYCAR,NHRA,

[trojanoutwood]

@racerdsm14391 nascar aint racing its pussys with no skill

[JBofBrisbane]

@racerdsm14391 - You forgot Formula 1, MotoGP, V8Supercars, BTCC...

[LolzeroDePP]

Well.. Formula 1 is boring.

Indycar is like easy version of F1: no turning right , just sometimes left turns.

Then the NHRA, what can I say..? It's total bullshit. No talent needed, the guy who has most money wins...

Nascar is real racing, sometimes it's really nice to watch. Lots of passing there, not boring.

Then, truck racing is REAL racing.. There you need the talent, because if something goes wrong, it goes HEAVILY wrong.

Rallycross is the most entertaining form of racing.

[JBofBrisbane]

@kazimann - neither are tintops, but we race them too.

BTW - prime movers are NOT "lorries".

[goliathgek]

was nowone payed attention, or is te trucks to heavy to steer so quickly as possible??

[micarone]

I don't think that they're heavy to steer but it may be something to do with understeering... Not sure but it looks like it when I've seen and looked these truck races. Although you're able to drive them in powerslide too it seems that the trucks first "reaction" when steering as quickly as possible is understeer.

[cykadelik]

they are big and heavy. for racing devices... and large engines over the front wheels = forward motion. and it takes a bit to change the direction..

[ozyboyz2]

that VW is an awesome lookin truck

[opse1943]

lesson in life-if the lane is filled with smashed up trucks, STOP

[bengal123456]

wtf?!?! lol.

[mookie427]

fk me...and I thought that one from Spain was bad

[pandymoose]

lol did you see the helicopter. what a hoot!

[JCJIBBER]

looks like interstate 35 on a normal day

[rexcars27]

this might be the dumbest form of racing

[dirtydodger]

seriously, what the fuck is going on here. what a waste of gas. cool crash though.

[EnduroCrazedManiac]

I never knew that VW made big semi trucks or does certain countries like Germany build them..

[sk8nallthewaytohell]

no wonder they crashed. there was a helicopter on the track!

[randomXproductions]

low flying heli in the begging.. wow!

[fabulous1xoxoxo]

Are these races on aany American channels?

[WakAtak914]

i think way back when speed was still speedvision they would show abbreviated races(highlights only). but ive seen anything in years.

[xoxsamanaxox]

Ight, thanx. Oh, and btw, did any of those drivers get hurt?

[Kosovanian]

Tossers. What concerned me was the one that went over the pit wall

[zaraspook]

in Brazil

[Mp3Astra]

Oh my god!

[rainbowsmakemehappy]

That is a very low helicopter!

[presitent]

ooooooo my Good

[keppelin123]

this very hard

[hampti007]

WoW...LOL

[lunchsalamimeat]

the stupid thing about truck racing is that they use regular race tracks that normal cars use. so you can barely fit two trucks side by side. btw that crash was awesome

[Xiandu93]

2 trucks??? You can see there is room for even 4 trucks side by side.

[TR86]

haha, holy shit. now thats a crash.

[fryloc359]

they used to race semis in the US. Ever watch the beginning of Smokey and the Bandit II?

[raceway24]

Not to mention when former NASCAR driver Shawna Robinson started racing she started by racing Semi's.

[Pastevin242]

Truck racing it tasteless anyway so why dont wreck them all at the same time

[NeoNoggie]

LOL Those truck bodies look like they're made of paper thin aluminum

[zerodoze]

they use carbon fibra and a glasswirefibra

[KeeperOfTheKitten]

Jeez though, this shunt is massive!!! And I agree with the other comments here, pace helicopter is very very cool ....but you can't fly them under gantries!

[darkwizard22]

sice when were pace cars helocopters still sweet though

[Troubledmindz]

Wow.. I saw the cab of one of the trucks flying about in there and it looked like it werent even on the a chassis!

That Pace Helicopter is the fucking bullocks!

[Jyllenberg]

That helo-pace car was awesome :)

[asaluste007]

To AstraJOM. I have seen a pileup at race start. It was F1 race at Spa-Francorchamps in 1998. Start was given in terrible rain. After a few curves Jacques Villeneuve hit the wall and in few seckonds there was a lot of wheels and other stuff flying around.

[KeeperOfTheKitten]

asaluste007 - the pileup you're referring to was triggered by David Coulthard, who lost control by himself while exiting La Source, which is the first corner. The pileup all happened between La Source and Eau Rouge.

[AstraJOM]

I know the Spa-crash very well. I'm watching formula 1 since 1993. By the way the first car who hit the wall at spa was Coulthard. :-)

[BengtsonJ]

There were only 5 or 6 trucks that made it through. Only 2 didn't have any damage, the pole-sitter and another guy.

[Serjery15]

hmmm I wonder who won XD

[TeshawnEdmonds]

Talking about being truckwrecked. Thank heavens the race was halted because it could have fatal consequences. No wonder British tracks say, "Motorsport is dangerous"

[spartan440]

holy shit!

[galaxian00]

I LOVE the pace car....err Helicopter! Man, what a pileup.

[kruxkrooked]

lucky for the guy in the green and yellow truck who made it past

[AstraJOM]

I've never seen a bigger pile-up at a race start!

[OptimaxX]

massive pile-up, they just kept hitting each other, only 1 actuly made it round the first corner!

[AshwinTheMan]

hoo...shit :|

[Pyr0sn4k3]

omg

[humanshopper]

Jeez, Eddie Stobart will be furious when he finds out.

[firefighterjosh]

WOW I hope everyone is ok

[bugio22]

look at that chopper!
