Selection of Le Mans Crashes

[FriendsChaser]

They Need more ''Down Force''

[majin527]

最後のメルセデス以外はアメリカでのレースで、ル・マンじゃない­よ

[njcrox]

never knew mark webber was a trained pilot

[dirtkart73]

@njcrox lol he must not have gotten very good training in flight school. it almost looked like a glitch you'd see in a video game

[yoogrant]

that was before they did wind tunel testing, i bet those were probably really un aerodynamic, and had more lift than downforce

[TheNodnarb66]

crap vid

[poderyujuju]

porsche

[levanter1M]

Shit video - shithead

[blackhole522]

Only the last clip is from Le Mans.........morons

[Pablin6114]

deep inside these car wanted to be airplanes

[Racecarlock]

They are pre-sentinal instruments of speed and aeromatics.

[Kristianthebest123]

Has the 2010 Le mans already been raced? somebody tell me

[carl206rc]

@Kristianthebest123 of course,it's been raced, peugeot was first in the first ours but at the end was audi's won. porsche won gt2 =)

[spencerhopkins91]

@Kristianthebest123 yes AUDI 1 2 3 BABY WOHO!

[mat205125]

Only 48hrs to go, and then we're off for the weekend

[flyerfan019283new]

I believe "Mans" means to flip wildy through the air or on the ground in French AND Italian.

[TheTransfan28]

wath`s the music of the video

[fladave99]

Mario Andretti did this in an INDY car. He decided to come out of retirement. He went back into retirement the same day.

He flipped 3 or 4 times about 40 feet in the air-landed on his wheels-AWESOME

Look up :"Mario Andretti Flip Indy 2003"

[R4F493]

como se llama la musica del video

[ntt688]

these cars want to fly.

[crazysoccerman14]

lmao. can't get them much faster than that. What a ride it must be for the driver doing a 360 flip and then landing looking the same direction you were before it took flight

[killerhobo97]

cool if the first one landed and he continued to race

[blackhole522]

the first 2 crashes are not from Le Mans.

[mrexon]

tru that...this Video is BS........

[TekeTekeElekiman]

These 2 crashes are Amerocan-LeMans Series.

[MultiJimmyHenry]

@blackhole522 Yes they are from the le mans series not from circuit de la sarthe though

[indigoblue555]

Mercedes team had two flips in the same week end at Le Mans as far as I recall.

I guess that one of the drivers was Mark Webber.

[ps3phreak]

yes!

[ioukkj]

how the fuck they fly then?

does air get trapped under the car or wat?

[hardcoreheaven4]

In essence, yes. When cars are travelling at such high speeds they take on characteristics of an aeroplane and take off if there is insufficient downforce at the front of the car.

[gcullen123]

good point, also these are at road atlanta BEFORE the track was paved. I was at this race in 2004 when the last wreck happend. there is a small hill and the car has negative G's on it so air gets underneath and it gets airborn

[carlyroxmysox]

There is also the matter that some of these cars were drafting. Drafting takes the aerodynamic downforce off of the car, make it lighter. It was just enough to lift the front a tiny amount and let air underneath.

[Me7roiD]

So in general, the front car's slipstream / turbulence play a decisive role in these accidents?

[carlyroxmysox]

Exactly. Were that car not in front, the car that was behind would have had sufficient downforce to keep it glued to the road. Instead the lack of air flow on the spoilers made the car lighter.

[marcman52]

dont listen 2 these nerds

[blacdout96]

Not to mention, that as they draft, when the are pulling out to pass, the low pressure zone that was in the front of the car, allowing it to actually raise a little, gets air tto go under the car, raising it up. they said that was the problem with the one Mercedez when it was behind the Toyota TS020, and the BMW V12 LMR.

[nealsisbetter]

seriously? im on football and lax teems and in a band....

this is 7th grade physics..... c'mon its common sense...

[Alkenui]

And where is the '55 Le Mans crash??? The most tragic motor crash ever? (82 spectators killed)

[canzt]

so short, 2/5..

[Greysky2007]

wow, surprised to hear Jimmy Eat World :D

[Spyker88]

Actually, the first two flips were from a event Called "Petit Le Man" at a track called Road Atlanta, not Le Mans. The CLR flip was at Le mans.

[DJR35]

wow!!!!!

[Chuichupachichi]

The engineers at Porsche and Mercedes are secretly engaged in a duel with eachother.

They feeling that merely winning races has become to common and monotonous. They're currently trying to outdo eachother in engineering the best "flying" automobiles.

[yfhtaytay]

I didn't know cars could fly holy shit

[CR1SWELL]

Definitely my favorite guitar riff from that whole Jimmy Eat World album.

[775564]

they should call Le Mans " Le Flip"

[Alkenui]

haha :)

[toastieamario]

good spotting :0

[lunchsalamimeat]

has any1 realized that all those cars r german

[UiopasQwerty]

sad isnt it

[AstraJOM]

Only the last crash is from Le Mans, France!

[GeraArg]

The accident Porsche GT1 is Roadf Atlanta, not Lemans

[Gummby69]

yeah road to alanta at le mans

[SuMoJunkie]

...Petite Le mans Tards.

[TBoblp]

petite le mans is the name of the race, road atlanta is the track name

[Willis2992]

road atlanta is just one of hte tracks in teh le mans series, the actual le mans race is held at le man in France... :/

[000darkstar000]

this is cool*****

[alexsd]

The song is "Get it Faster" by Jimmy Eat World.

[domaslt1234]

holly crap flying cars

[CooLLDanny14]

5 *****!! good video!! good song!! nice!!

i need the song!! can someone say the name song please!! thanks!!

[CooLLDanny14]

song pleaze!!!

what is the name song???

[pimp349]

The second crash, that starts at 0:09, is that the BMW V12 LM?

[ALCUS52]

I think so, yes. Cos that was the other key incident of this type, along with the Porsche and Mercedes. Plus it looks like it..

[pimp349]

Yea, I think so too. When the car is on the grass you can see some features that resemble the V12 LM. This is the only footage I've ever seen of the BMW.

[Nitrous2k]

Was not is

[heez29]

1st two not at Le Mans ;)

[ILikeIke34]

You'd think Mercedes would've learned how much ballast they needed to keep it from doing that =P.

[CobraMarty]

Yea. Forst two are from ALMS

[CrouchysALegend]

yeah, the petit le mans, at road atlanta

[Brotherolaf]

uh...yeah the first 2 were le mans.....

[heez29]

Em, actually they weren't

Considering they were both from America kind of explains it why they weren't from Le Mans.
