If you’ve ever gone to a rally event, you know things can get real sketchy real quick. It’s part of the beauty of the sport—spectators help shove cars back on track that go careening into the forest, cars fly by with huge chunks of the bodywork missing and everything else held together with duct tape. But sometimes,…

It’s one of the basic tenets of driving: keep your eyes on the road because you tend to direct your car to whatever you’re looking at. That’s why rubbernecking at a side-of-the-road crash is kind of terrifying. But as it turns out, even race car drivers aren’t immune to the seductive call of driving directly into…

This Sunday, Formula One returns to its birthplace of France for the first time in a decade. The hype trains have been cruising at full force ever since the announcement was made that Paul Ricard would be on the calendar… but the start of the race didn’t exactly display the finessed driving that you’d expect from the…

A Jannarelly Design-1 OSC decked out in “Official Safety Car” branding was set to do a demonstration run between the motorcycle and car run groups at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, but it crashed Thursday afternoon, reports KOAA. The car veered off the road in nearby Colorado Springs and crashed into the…

It’s early in the morning at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and in case you didn’t pick it up from the cutaways to sleeping crew members, folks are clearly a bit tired. This morning started off with a few major crashes ‘n’ bashes. One of the unlucky cars that had to retire was one of the brand new BMW M8 GTEs as it was on…

A prototype of the soon-to-be-unveiled BMW 8 Series coupe was involved in a serious crash in Bavaria on Saturday, killing the passenger.

There are trick racing videos that leave you deeply satisfied at the end, like where a car fits neatly into a close gap, or pulls off a ludicrously fast, well-choreographed pit stop. This clip of Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters at the Hungaroring is the exact opposite of that. This one left me confused and angry at how…

Tyco BMW Superbike rider Dan Kneen died in a crash during Wednesday evening’s practice session for the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy, reports Autosport. Kneen was 30 years old, a local to the Isle of Man and had been racing in Isle of Man events since 2008.

Dirt-happy racers love to use the phrase “press on regardless,” but the inaugural Americas Rallycross event whipped out an epic display of that mantra in practice thanks to Timo Scheider. Scheider’s hood flopped up and blocked most of his windshield during most of one race, but did that stop him? Nah.

Just look at this incredible almost-jump. This UTV rider definitely had a landing, but I’m not sure it’s the landing he wanted.

This year’s Nürburgring 24 Hours was looking like an easy home race for Manthey Racing, with two Porsche 911 GT3 Rs in first and second place mere moments before. Their shop’s just down the road, man. They’ll do fine! Sadly, their No. 911 Porsche driver Romain Dumas just crashed at Pflanzgarten with just under 14…

A WC-130 Hercules cargo plane from the 156th Airlift Wing of the Puerto Rico Air National Guard crashed near Savannah, Georgia, leaving at least five of as many as nine onboard dead, per officials who spoke with WBTV and an update from the Associated Press. The plane was being used on a training mission. [Update: All…

It’s never a good sign when the World Rally Championship feed cuts abruptly to the map after an off, but that’s what happened when then-WRC2 leader Kalle Rovanpera went off on Stage 17 of Rally Argentina today. Fortunately, no one was hurt despite the fact that Rovanpera’s Skoda flipped right over a fan’s tent.

Ah, the delights of waterfront property. I bet the 19th century Ottoman dandy who built this beautiful mansion on the Bosphorus in Istanbul did not envision the abode would ever be under threat from an immense tanker ship.

Everyone who’s ever been on a race track is familiar with the waiver you sign releasing certain legal rights in case something serious goes wrong. Yet that waiver wasn’t enough to keep motorcycle track day organizers Keigwin’s At The Track from being sued for a crash at one of their Laguna Seca events, and it has…

This is what happens when you’re facing backwards in the wrong place at the wrong time. The No. 50 Panoz Avezzano spun out right in the middle of Turn 1 at Circuit of the Americas during Saturday’s Pirelli World Challenge GTS-X race. When the rest of the field had to dodge the No. 50, the No. 8 McLaren 570S GT4 had…

Here in America, we’re annoyingly used to advertisements breaking up the racing action on television, but this caution-causing ad smack that happened in the 12 Hours of Sebring is a next-level nuisance. IMSA loves to put physical trackside ads out for its races, which the drivers sometimes like to collect like…

Welcome to Sebring! The field didn’t make it through the first corner before the front runners ran into each other. Then just 20 minutes in, there was a rollover, making this race about a wild as you would expect from the land of the Florida Man.

While plebeian workaday cars can be transported on an open trailer exposed to the elements, high end automobiles have to be cosseted in an enclosed climate-controlled hauler to keep them safe from the prying eyes of Joe Q. Public. In the case of this particular haul, these cars were exposed to much more than wind and…

Drag racing legend John Force crashed hard Sunday evening after his engine blew up and sent his Funny Car out of control into Jonnie Lindberg’s car at the NHRA Arizona Nationals, reports USA Today. Force was immediately taken to a local hospital for evaluation, but was released later that night.
