[VAJOWLES]

that's considered good luck in Haiti.

K.O.

[Gigidag77]

My Left ear just got raped

[jacksonluver2]

yeah, but why'd you spin out?

[zabraoota1]

@jacksonluver2 cuz he lost concentration! these cars r really hard to control in high speed corners and u need to be focused.

[XxOMGitsJAKExX]

Anyone notice theres no 0:38 ?

[psalmtone2008]

Driver in the 1960 Belgian Grand Prix was killed after being hit in the face by a bird...Alan Stacey.

[aircooledwizard]

Robin...."Wow, a racing cross ply"......splat!! hehehe

[abbaabb]

dont you know about the bird? Well, everybody knows that the bird is a word!

[JRRacing85]

Poor thing - you killed it!!

[bethsqeak]

eww looks like its head or something flies off in the slow mo :s

[TheSRalston]

"ah pa pa pa pa pa pa pa up mauau pa pa pa up pa mau mau.."

[voxadvt30]

That slow-mo is actually pretty brutal!

[omgitzsteg]

DID YOU EAT IT? :-)

[ELPQF]

Oh haven't you heard??

[lemasito1]

Bird is the word :D:D:D

[TheFoxyman32100]

LAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE



[fapsqpz]

the bird is the word !

[ThePaulnessable]

Stupid birds.

[THE9LOL7ABLE]

OK guys if your wondering why he span is because he carried too much speed and lost the back end and he couldnt do anything about it and plus a bird hitting you at high speeds can kill you , but thats rare and it ditracts your concentration more than you could ever possibly think of. =]

[garethkielty]

@THE9LOL7ABLE yep...ive just passed my test and so full of stupid confidence, chucked my car at a corner going a bit too fast in the wet and the exact same thing happened. i did a 180 and ended up on the other side of the road. when i look back i think to myself that im an idiot because i was so lucky there wasnt another car coming at the time and that i spun in a perfect way as to not hit any of the walls that line that particular stretch of country lane -_-

[mario7kart7master7]

It's not the bird hitting the wheel that made him spin, if you look, the bird flew right across his helmet causing him to flinch...

[ukiya36]

Angry birds

[usernamen0tfound]

DAMN NATURE, YOU SCARY!

[phil290777]

robin bastard !!

[hearts76100]

Was that a duck?

[rhyswl]

Aww poor birdie

[001blackhole]

how did you spin kn the corner.

and ya just because u hit a bird doesnt mean you can spin.

believe me its happened to me.

[offitcock]

@001blackhole fuck up kid you're about 6

[001blackhole]

@offitcock

lol all i said was how did you spin around the corner!

a bird doesn't mean you spin does it?

so lemme think your about hmm from your comment your about a toddler

so ya cunt fight all you want a 6 year old wouldnt say this...

cunt fuck shit bollux fucker motha fuck! sex in bed :) i prove my point.

[001blackhole]

offitcock is gay!

[offitcock]

@001blackhole when u hit puberty u might turn out gay too kid ;-) get back to the swings mate dont make me give you a chinesse burn

[001blackhole]

@offitcock

lol chinese burns dont hurt me cuz i could kill you with my own fists :)

[offitcock]

@001blackhole dont make me laugh little boy

[FUCK202]

i think actually it was a kamakazie (im assuming i spelt that wrong) bird that was trying to force you into a crash, and well..it succeeded!

[BenBayliss7]

I'm just glad you've got video evidence for the reason you messed up the corner, else I very much doubt anybody would have believed you. I was cheering for you to save it when you started getting crossed up.

[easyjetpablo]

the bird looked like a hoopoe they are rare in europe

[DXMan2330]

LOL 0:30 The bird was like "You motherf**ker! I'm gonna get you back!"

[TRAPBOULTERNAS]

did you find the bird?

[stigg46]

its alot worse if your on a bike- trust me lol

[itemsplz]

Pooooooooor Birdie :(

[Polybun]

LOL, whacked a bird and over shot your braking point... hell of a thing that!

[sidMGS]

Im sorry i thought everybody was aware? Its pretty common knowledge...BI-BI-BI-BIRD-BIRD­-BIRD THE BIRD IS THE WORD!

[terrorista31]

you need to be very careful with open-wheel cars

if you lose the track can be deadly!

go fast, curve, bird!, break!!!

good that you and your car is ok

[deuste99]

F1 in the 60s are booooring coz you wait so long to finish the race

[satpam1000]

I think the bird was die..

[Motorsportism]

If you moved slightly off the racing line no lives would be lost!

[AccordGTR]

You know you are a quick driver when you can catch birds with your car...happened to me twice at BRC, the local circuit we have - a sparrow got caught in my windshield wiper, I stopped and picked it up and let it fly away. Another time, another sparrow got stuck in my grill/radiator.

[PhotoShopChannel]

he cant possibly blame that on the bird!

[T07T08]

@rvind92g...no it got special powers..

[stealthysmirth]

who watched montoya loses mirror before this, thumbs up.

[rvind92g]

Did it die?

[AnAngryWolpack]

no mr tweetems

[SvenskFilm2]

poor animals

[MrTONYTONYM]

Can't believe camaera can be that clear back then

[Gummbeh]

@MrTONYTONYM There weren't decent cameras in 2005? =P

[steelcagechaos1]

"Oh my god, is the car ok?!"

[rapperzondernaam]

I hope the bird survived!

[kapitanpisoar]

Bye, bye birdie



[Bennoisky]

Fantastic sound!

[norman899]

Wheel first then the body.

[soldiertewi]

poor bird the pilot has die

[KrazyKuul111]

lol, I love how you can see the pieces fly off the bird. If I installed an onboard cam, i'd definitely make it a high speed camera.

[U5ERNAMEINVALID]

@KrazyKuul111

r u on any kind of local register?

[nckanagno]

poor bird ;(

[WTFyouratard]

BIRDS SHOULD DIE!!!

[TheY2T]

that happened to my friend in his rx8. except it wasnt a robin, it was a pigeon or a seagull. All he saw was a bunch of feathers after it exploded on the front lol.

[afcfbk]

the driver got splattered bird all over himself. nice

[VuDu4000]

Cool car! How fast does it go? Looks slow but I might be wrong.

[formulasaab]

@VuDu4000 It is SLOW! At least compared to modern machinery. However, in its day (1964) it was competitive in Formula C and turned times respectable in Formula Junior. With only 70hp or so, it will never be a torque-monster or top-speed demon, bu tit handles beautifully and the brakes are about as good as you could possible find at that time. Figure a 115mph top speed I'd guess.

[VuDu4000]

@formulasaab Okay thanks for the response. I like to watch videos like this and I like cars of all kinds and no matter what HP. Kinda my interest and when I get much money I will be like you :). Thanks for sharing!

[tpvalley]

@formulasaab

ford kent/crossflow engine? (70bhp).

[MrJohnnySlowhand]

You should have eased off the throttle, along with opposite lock, to correct the slide, Senna style... Yeah, it's easy for me to say that from the comfort of my armchair, now, is it? :))))))))

[BrunoMagalhaes69]

YOU BIRDKILLER !!!!!!!!!!!! =D

[KoivuTheHab]

That's a lame excuse to spin in a corner...

[formulasaab]

@KoivuTheHab Yeah, I had the same reaction myself.

[PS3GameProductions]

@KoivuTheHab I'd like to see you in the same situation after you have a gored Robin fly past your head.

[KoivuTheHab]

@PS3GameProductions 1. It's not close to the head 2. The person behind the wheel agreed with me. Enough said...

[hmmdusty]

@KoivuTheHab would have thrown off his brake point, so he went deep then spun.. easily done when hit by a bird lol

[charles19502010]

Don't want to die equal to Alan Stacey.

[bark1986]

and there you have it . Robin aint worth shit without batman

[newcomer9747]

chuck norris blessed the wheel

[csbr75]

@newcomer9747 chuck norris do only bless himself

[skyshicrises]

Score 1 to the F1 car!

[KoivuTheHab]

@skyshicrises F1?....

[WatanukiF1]

bird wanted to be a racing driver of formula bird =((((((

[vincent1852]

eww there were chunks

[Natty7478]

birr birr brr birr bird bird bird bird haven't you heard about the bird? well peters gonna tell you about the bird

[Diandredofus]

it seems like he was searching the tire...

[RemcoGamer95]

Bird VS Wheel xD

[mikethenascarfan]

i like any vintage racer like this, any damage to the struts, seems like the blood may have screw up you traction, nice car, do you hae any vids on it

[formulasaab]

@mikethenascarfan Hello. There was no damage to speak of (thankfully). I have a few more vids of this car. Just look around through my uploads and enjoy!

[mikethenascarfan]

@formulasaab yeah ive been watching, 876 cc or so eh?

[formulasaab]

@mikethenascarfan Yes. The motor in the car at that time was an 850. I'm currently working on tuning a bored out version that should measure around 940cc. If I can get it to run properly, I am looking forward to a little more "umph"!

[mikethenascarfan]

@formulasaab me too, i would like to see that new motor in action, was that your latest video? the cars are so light and compact, that 94 hp motor makes that thing really go nicely

[KoivuTheHab]

@mikethenascarfan The blood screwed up the traction? Oh please think before you write... Not just that but notice the car oversteered? If theoretically it influenced traction there was less traction on the left wheel (where more weight is on a right hand corner) the car would have gone more straight, not more to the right. The laws of physics are simple when you have a brain.

[mikethenascarfan]

@KoivuTheHab maby you should read my comment instead of being a dirty cock- bird flying 30 mph into a rubber tire+ car traveling at 70-80 mph, BEAK! im sure a 4 pound "projectile" hitting a tire at an accumulative speed of 110 mph would create some sort of damage bud, so just calm down and dont insult me, im smarter than you when it comes to physics and racing, and definetly damage to vehicals, you dont think blood could cause traction loss, its thicker than water! dought you'd know that........

[KoivuTheHab]

@mikethenascarfan It's pretty clear you are a complete idiot who knows very little about the world around you. You are saying this small bird weights 4 pounds! Please look at the video and and make ridiculous statements. I'd say you have roughly the same intelligence as a dead chicken.

[mikethenascarfan]

@KoivuTheHab its preety clear to me you dont learn when to shut your fucking mouth, you should really go fuck yourself with the dead bird

[KoivuTheHab]

@mikethenascarfan You need to learn how to spell fatty. You also need to understand that if I'm fucking the dead bird I am not fucking myself, but you wouldn't understand that would you as you have zero life experiance. Typical american, fat shit with no brains. Whoever bought you a computer should be shot.

[dbrokensha]

it's bad enough a wasp flying into you let alone a battered bird, I'd like to see webber06 try and stay composed, could be worst, you could do a bruno senna and run down a stray dog

[MrErock5353]

i think anyone racing in an open cockpit would have shit themselves and spun at the next corner. it seems like human nature you dont know what the hell just hit you, and at those speeds by the time you are trying to find your mark to make the corner you are past. then all hell breaks loose and you are just trying to save your ass and make the corner . how much was the dry cleaning bill for the fire suit?

[Tromboner611]

that would have really sucked if the bird had hit your face.

[hkdxforsaken]

Damn that bird got FUCKED UP!!

[griffin911]

Anyone that has been shit on by a bird will love this, lmao!

[utheman01]

someone in f1 died that way so it aint really that funny

[joshisanadult]

@utheman01 What, jumping into a moving racecar's left-front tire? Obviously, the guy had issues.

[webber06]

What a load of rubbish formulasaab !

You shit yourself, tried to brake but locked the rears, then got on the throttle too hard and spun !

[formulasaab]

@webber06 Thanks. That is kind of you to say.

[MaverickOfTheSkies]

@formulasaab nice reply mate :)))))

[lolimadethisvid]

poor birdy, probably munching on some bread...R.I.P.

[councilglasses]

You bastard,fancy fixing a kettle onto mud guard.

[hannu316316]

The bird was the winner

[richyb21]

crap driver

[bradude2k]

I think what actually happened was you stayed practically flat out even though you were totally losing the back end. You only came off the gas when you were waaaay past the point of no return!

[formulasaab]

@bradude2k I needed to keep the rear wheels spinning so that the car SPUN instead of TURNED. If I'd let them grip too much, it might have meant I'd have hit the inside curb much harder and faster.

[bradude2k]

@formulasaab

Rubbish. You wouldn't have spun if you hadn't kept flat out man.

[paronomasiaster]

@formulasaab braduke is right I'm afraid.

[formulasaab]

@paronomasiaster What I was saying is that at that point I left my foot in it and I spun it intentionally. I missed my braking point and was just too fast into the turn. I couldn't get it turned before the crown of the road cambered over. Once the wheels crested the top of the crown and I could tell that it was going around and not into an understeer situation, I kept the spin going until I was out of harm's way from the car's behind.

[FRFM00]

lol @ that breaking your concentration. I wonder who you react when a car has spun infront of you

[formulasaab]

@FRFM00 The timing was nearly exactly wrong, with the bird happening at almost the same time as I was supposed to hit my braking point. I only have to be off by a few feet to have an issue.

[kayleedee1]

PVGP - best of its kind in the nation. Well, a few feathers and bird guts, some flat-spotted tires, and a cool video. In all, not a bad day.

[MclF01]

nice car m8

[poppawheeliesparts]

I took a bird to the helmet visor on my sportbike; wish I had video..

[TreVox]

I pity the bird..

[nascarfan1444]

I was racing in a formula ford and a bird collided with my mirror and hit me in the face damn that rung my bell

[ricsi0531]

the bird bird bird, the bird is the word

[cheekoballer]

that was a bit of a let down

[ghostdoghaelo]

Ahh yeah that'll distract ya.

Cool car, by the way!

[killoiku]

lol it looks like it came back and hit you in the face

[evofreak1304]

yummy

[ahoinmypants]

Eeew guts everywhere!

[sebq998]

great on board wiev, cool video .

[mgospeed31]

Damn bird didn't see it coming.

[mrgears]

[Boocho88]

i wanted to say they had good cameras back then but then i see it was made in 2005 :)) btw did the front suspension got dameged?

[bencub64]

ha ha...dead bird

[bastauber]

Cross-checking - 4 min penalty. :)

[LIGHTRONIX]

d..d...did it died??

[Schimpf94]

Der Vogel hat nen Vogel^^

Naja kann man halt leider nichts machen.

[wholesalesupplier]

Did the bird actually have anything to do with him binning it at the end?

[formulasaab]

Not really. It broke my concentration and I missed my braking point by a few feet. Thus... The spin.

[robinjosovic]

LOL, Actually my name is Robin! XD

[Dombajezakon]

RIP BIRD

[spartanxxx17]

@Dombajezakon amen, he was just chillin, and that happened.....pretty sad if you ask me.

A bird hits the car, and you loose control?

[YawnGod]

[ROONTANG]

Would've been a bit distressing for the driver. Nice engine sound by the way.

[commieman]

Lucky it wasn't Batman, eh?

[MrCardboardbox360]
