Rules? Rules are for peasants. We're eating cake
#7 Bentley ignoring race director's instructions, repeatedly

I was really hoping the Bentley was going to stop for 15 seconds then start moving again at the end

I've had a few weird dramas in my AOR Bentley life in Project CARS but even I haven't had an adventure like this.

Here are some possible explanations of why Meeke drove through a parking lot during one of the stages in Mexico.

How in the heck?!

World's smallest cars racing. I admit the definition's stretched somewhat... BBC.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Deja vu

 

[AudiMan2011]

Thank goodness for that metal barrier.

I would have had brown trousers afterwards, that's for sure.

Really odd how the 47 went over.

Sadly the video's US-only.

Try this one.

Really odd how the 47 went over.

It took a big hit in the rear corner (from either the #78 running forwards or the rearward-spinning #77) then before it was settled got a good shove along the track, looks like that was plenty to flip him.

When I see a rollover from Talladega or Daytona posted here, I go in thinking it is going to be big. I have to say, that was one of the gentlest NASCAR rollovers I've seen in a while.

 

[Pezzarinho17]

I watched it this morning, due to it being described as "crash sends car airborne in NASCAR"... Extremely gentle compared to what I was expecting!!!

 

[Jimlaad43]

Surely an OMG/WTF moment from NASCAR would be a race where someone doesn't roll. There's nothing remarkable about that crash at all.

Yeah, I just think it was really odd how it happened. I don't think I've ever seen it happen like that. Looked like a video game.

Or video game looked like real life

Between the MotoGP sessions in Jerez this weekend, the Safety car had a crash during an inspection lap:


Driver is ok.

 

[Jimlaad43]

Meh, the Safety Car spun into the gravel at Silverstone at last year's WEC event in the snow.

 

[Vinylshark]

The Porsche Cup is always good for some stupid accidents

They're in the wrong form of motorsport, they'd fit right in with banger racing (destruction Derby)

From a 1994 episode of Top Gear; BTCC drivers drive their road-going models around Silverstone GP.

Very entertaining.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

No wonder John Cleland called Steve Soper an "animal". Looking at the way he slides a stock BMW in almost every single corner, he wasn't driving at anything lower than 120% agression.

And speaking of Cleland, his "commentary" makes the video commendation-worthy.

"Oi Hoy spun it! Whooo! Yehawwwhaha!"

That made for a good laugh, definitely. 👍

I'd love to see it done today but I doubt the manufacturers would allow it.

I dunno, they've let them race Caravans, Buses, Aircraft Vehicles and Taxis in the past.

 

[catamount39]

I dunno, they've let them race Caravans, Buses, Aircraft Vehicles and Taxis in the past.

Only about 10-7 years ago too.

No, I meant the manufacturers wouldn't allow their models to be tested in such a way like that, bit of a laugh aside or not, lest they look "12 seconds slower than the BMW".

They'd pull a Ferrari and send an exclusive one-off model with nitrogen-filled tyres and the like.

Which isn't beyond suspicion in the original video anyway.
