Rally Argentina in the 2001 WRC. Up on a stage, 10 spectators cars were caught up in a fire. Cue the emergency services to head out to the scene. Unfortunately, one water tanker clipped a Skoda team member on the way and rolled, severely damaging both Skoda WRC cars. No one was seriously hurt but Skoda pulled out, understandably so.

Massive accident in Super Formula at Suzuka, car went over the fence at 130R and ended up in Degner curve. Driver suffered a concussion but no other major injuries.

Suzuka has had a seemingly large proportion of colossal accidents recently. Runoff lengths and upgrades probably required Tbh.

None of walls prone to being hit are particularly easy to move back though.

WHAT IN THE WORLD?

Not sure that would've been a good scenario to use your teammate as a brake anyway

 

[Barra333]

In all fairness, he would not have had a long time to ponder his options.

Things that would never happen today: raiding a Le Mans 24 Hour winning car for spares 3 months after its victory to get your own title-contending racer on the grid after a qualifying shunt.
