100% Hawthorne's fault. Take the pit next lap you fucker, there's 2 or 3 cars right behind that he has to cut across. Would love to see the vid of him from 1956...

I can't look at this car without hearing the angry exhaust note.

True that releasing video isn't a high priority. I'm guessing "they" were waiting to make sure he was ok first. There's an enormous difference between "Watch this HUUUGGEEE crash that the driver walked away from" and "Watch this fatal crash".

So funny. Seems like the insurance company writes off cars for bumper damage, here they've torn off everything aft of the headrest, all the bodywork, suspension and most(if not all) of the powertrain And Audi's like "Yeah, I'm gonna need you to go ahead and come in tomorrow and rebuild chassis number one. Thanks."

An…

Because last year Alan Simonsen got out of his crashed Aston Martin, was alert and talking with the rescuers, then on the way to the medical center his aorta collapsed and he died.

My 7 seater diesel gets 52 mpg at 70 mph. That is why diesel wins in both le mans and in daily life.

Any info on the possible proximity of a GT-Am Ferrari before the crash?

Little did Audi know, airplane black boxes are made out of loicduvalian.

1967 can keep the Shelby, I'll take the Audi.

Imagine that same accident with one of those horrendous Daytona Prototypes, they'd be mopping Duval up right now.

Mercedes also said after the 1999 CLR disaster that Merc-AMG would never return to Le Mans

Coming from a state with both huge turn off areas on our highways and hail storms that can literally total a car in under 5 minutes, no. However with that said, I would never stop in a lane of traffic, that's stupid.

HEIL!

The people who are off the road in the center of the median I get. The people who are stopped on the actual highway deserve to be punted out of the way. Fit a semi with a snowplow and send it through!

This happened to me in NY one time. Absolutely ridiculous. If you're lucky enough to get a spot under the overpass in the SHOULDER, then fine. Park and wait it out. But if you're impeding the flow of traffic, you're a jerk.

Amazed by how many people are defending this and saying it's no big deal. Don't fucking have kids if you can't be bothered to unload/load your kid for a five-minute task. I have two kids and work full-time and have to make sometimes 3-4 stops after work. It's exhausting getting them in and out, especially the 3 year…

When all the catholic girls in my hometown were getting purity rings, I sort of found myself wanting one. I was (am?) pretty materialistic although in the purity regards I suppose I'm "morally casual". Anyways, my dad bought me a ring and said "this ring should remind you that you're allowed to do whatever you feel…

Instead of making cars "smarter"? How about we try and make people smarter? As in...make the driving test harder? Require you to..actually study for it...and practice for it?

Yup, that's Google: overreaching, and actually anti-progress, frequently delving into outright stupidity.

They didn't continue '55 because of this theory. The concern was the ambulances wouldn't be able to get in and out if the race was stopped and everyone tried to leave.
