V8 Supercars Barbagallo Perth 01.05.2011 Karl Reindler Crash TV

[Jester4point0]

Thanks to the engineers, marshals, volunteers and everyone else involved... everyone here went home to their kids :)

[Aristole1996]

when i saw this on tv i got so freaked out! Thank GOD they werent killed or really seriously injured. WELL DONE TO THE FIRE MARSHALS AND MEDICS!!!!!!!!!!

[snowddoogg]

just out of curiosty do these cars race on ovals or is just road course's , i like watching these cars but was just wondering

[snowddoogg]

that was wicked hit glad to see their allright

[itsmebrad19]

He was 13th on the grid, just sayin

[gjn71]

im a ford fan but u never want to se this happen to any one i never 4 get the time Craig Lowndes rolled it u have to feel 4 the drivers

[daderic888]

@Niceboy3377 I didn't think that commenting on both drivers being okay and are very lucky would draw a response like that. Grow a brain you clown ! >:-(

[RyanK733]

@Lemon0Tart The only impression i've got is you knowing everything, and he gave a good comment. Why act a dick?

[ENIOCHICO]

Do as the NASCAR ... going green

[happyhambuger]

I seen f1 cars go up but not like v8 super cars do

[gavb90]

im a firefighter and rull one check the driver is ok before going to the car

[ryan6993]

at @38 the fire guy goes from walking casually to running..

[dbooth81]

He got on the brakes just after he ran into the back, whilst the other guy who got hit from behind probably knew what was coming, because he didn't have his brakes on at all. Very smart thinking, and very lucky not to get really badly burnt too.

[tiddynezz]

marshal and medic teams...........awesome AWESOME JOB!!!!!!!

[senna5152]

Two men's lives were at stake...I don't think race control would fault anyone for helping by hosing down the fire. I'm sure race control didn't order the pit crews out to the grid, but they went anyway.

[BOGnz]

The crash was horrific, good that the drivers are fine,kind that all the other teams came along to help out.If you press the key 5 over and over again it sounds like the commentator is saying "Undie hat",weird, I know!!!

[Dimitrius096]

The red car had crazy reaction time to get out of the way. 

[purpleninja141]

dear lord help me tom cruise im on fire

[Tmask32]

drug bust

[Tmask32]

super fast response to the med team

[l0oAzizo0l]

0:35 run dumbass run!!!

[cHoMpAh2010]

@l0oAzizo0l I would like to see you try and run in them suit it is near on impossible

[1shababi]

well that wasn't a good start

[free533]

wow, that was a massive hit. from later reports they showed images of the cars in the garage and the force was so massive that the barrier that's supposed to stop fuel entering the car gave way and that's why the guy recieved second degree burns

[LJCH4E]

This is happen rare and this is not funny at all.

[The3bola]

START FAIL

[exchangescompany]

wow

[senna5152]

Wow. Slow response from those marshalls! First truck was on the grid and took forever to open the fire bottle! Freakin pit crews were out there helping faster! Glad those marshalls aren't at my track.

[cHoMpAh2010]

@senna5152 Im sorry but we were all told by Race Control not to move until we are told to. 

[WilkesAG]

What brand of fuel cells are these guys using?! I want the OPPOSITE!

[Sj1bby]

And mythbusters said this was imposible!!

Looks mad hurting, but gread they have only minor injuries!!

[jnthnbush]

@Sj1bby yea, with regular gas

[jnthnbush]

@Sj1bby yea, with regular gas it has to be vaporized. Liquid gas doesn't explode, but when it is injected into the engine, evaporates into the air, or in this case the fuel tank was crushed so fast it effectively sprayed and vaporized the gas into the air and I am sure there were ample sparks to ignite it.

[knightstrykr]

the guy driving the red car....pro

[DLL22able]

I got to say it looked different from the croud when I was there.

I was directly inline with it with and the pit lane and 4 rows back and the smoke or what ever it bloody was but it smelt/tasted bad.

I'm glad they got out so quickly and no one was seriously hurt.

[RB25DETC33]

Almost as sickening as the Tesuya Ota crash in the Japanese GT Championship. He unluckily had to spend close to 90 seonds inside a fire ball like that. I ruined his career. These boys are VERY lucky.

The marshals and medics and all involved did a fantastic job. Luckily no one died here.

[bUMf1GHT]

Good on the safety marshalls for a quick response. Always good to see that after the Lamborghini incident at BRNO.

[Lacccikapitany]

Does anyone know what the two signs mean at 0:08 and 0:19 ?

[zboik13]

@Lacccikapitany the 0:08 is 5 seconds which means when the red light goes out but im not sure about the second one

[justyomumma]

@Lacccikapitany i think, judging by the panicked way he was holding it, it was an attempt to warn the drivers of the stalled car, unsuprisingly inaffective

[bandgeek1313]

@Lacccikapitany i'm just taking a guess but I think the second sign is actually a sign to tell other drivers that a car has stalled out on the starting grid... Or at least that's what It seems like to me

[666FARRAH]

THIS CRASH WAS GOD'S TRIBUTE TO AYRTON SENNA'S DEATH!! R.I.P AYRTON SENNA 1.5.1994.

[kengtheerasakj]

very lucky for this man

[JamBot34]

When are people to get a clue and abolish the standing start? Imagine this in an F1 car with that acceleration...not that we don't have horrific examples of what happens there.

[1maddhatter]

@JamBot34

I agree!

[BOGnz]

@JamBot34 They should do it NZV8 series style, rolling starts, which would mean no stalling cars because the cars are in motion

[Lemon0Tart]

@BOGnz really..you had to explain what a rolling start is?

[BOGnz]

@Lemon0Tart Whats wrong with that?

[Lemon0Tart]

@BOGnz the fact that you can almost guarantee everyone watching this knows what a rolling start is. You don't have to attempt to act like you know allot about racing, atleast thats the impression i got.

[lhatzi]

0:32 take it easy man don't rush at all..it's just a guy that is burning inside the vehicle and you have to save him..big deal...

[xXturbo86Xx]

safe cars......

[MamoDad]

Who won the race?

[Bartman954]

@MamoDad

Jason Bright, who was Karl Reindler's team mate.

[INFAMOUSxCRAB14]

its even better cause i saw it live it was pretty nice but lucky that there ok

[bibelgui]

Sorry for de lenguage...DEBERÍAN LARGAR CON LOS AUTOS EN MARCHA, TAL COMO LO HACE EL NASCAR, O NUESTRO TURISMO CARRETERA EN ARGENTINA, GRACIAS A DIOS QUE NO HUBO QUE LAMENTAR VICTIMAS...

[Blastingmoose]

@jamsbong there is no way there could be anything done about it, when the collided he was going 150km and nothing would of survived that.

[schmonyon]

Karl must have thought he was still on fire or what ? he dropped and rolled on the ground ? is that something the officials had to get him to do ?

[BushidoRei]

@schmonyon Probably did it just to be safe and make sure any chance of flames were gone.

[schmonyon]

@BushidoRei Yeah i thought that might have been the case

[jollytas]

What is the fire marshall doing from 0:35 - 0:45?? He looks like he's just out to water his garden!

[jamsbong]

I think this V8 needs to review its safety. The fuel tank should never be this fragile nor explode on impact. It looks just like an episode of TopGear except this one is not suppose to be entertaining.

[EthanXin]

ROFL at 0:47- "I'm on fire! I'm on fire!"

[eurotuner88]

Not lucky, they're blessed/

[spencerattack631]

definitely had no chance of stopping...what a shock that must have been, all of a sudden there's a parked car and you're just getting up to speed



[jws381]

Just one too many cars. They kept getting closer and closer, and were just one away from not having an accident.

[MclaughlinTV]

WOW so sudden, thankfully they are ok, lucky guys.

[FarthingFury]

@BabyBlueEclipse If you'd read the description, you'd know he stalled on the grid.

[RCD608]

@FarthingFury

you don't even need to read it lol

if a car is not moving its basic knowledge that it has stalled. even for someone who doesn't know anything about motorsports. its the laws of physics. accelerating, moving at a solid speed (cruise control), decelerating, and stopping.

[FarthingFury]

@RCD608 He asked, I just awnsered

[smittysmith912]

@BabyBlueEclipse stalled

[CrzyCanuk13]

@BabyBlueEclipse

Because he stalled?

[daderic888]

Thankfully, both drivers got out and are okay. They are VEEEEERRRRRYYYYY lucky!

[blochead555]

@daderic888 i agree, this is actually one of the worst i've seen. thank goodness for fireproofs.

[Niceboy3377]

@daderic888 ur obviously a girl arnt you
