Re: Funny motorsport videos... ?
That was some very high class driving in that bike race. Look at the number 4 guy at the exit at 1:14 or so.
Earlier this year I saw another example of this. It seemed the effort of the top few riders was heroic. The racing was close and the folks just a few places back were working really hard.

I don;t think I'd classify what happened to Ken as his "car breaking"; more like a few guys being aggressive on the start and he ended up in a tire wall at like 80 mph,and tried to drive through it, which I think made things worse, then they tried to get it all fixed for the final and don't think it went too well for him.

Pretty nasty off at Pikes Peak this week.
Both driver and co-driver were reported to be ok.

"Pretty nasty" is definitely an understatement, Mick. That looked like Homer Simpson falling down the mountainside

I happened to stop the PP video just at the 9-10 second mark & saw that the navigator's head was outside the cage. Next time, I'd guess those guys will give more consideration to passenger area body panel attachment.

The cage did survive though, otherwise they would be very dead.
Here's another bad crash from the climb, stuck throttle was to blame for this one.

...and seat attachment. I wonder what happened to the driver with (presumably) the belts still doing their job but the chair floating free of the floor. That's gotta hurt!
