Post your best crash shot!

[thacko]

not my shot, I was pre-occupied with a flying mini, gravel and tyres

photo courtesy of power-images.co.uk

One from me, shot hand-held at 1/50th sec (clicky for bigger version if you like).

LOL

I know the driver of the Glanza very well, ill see if he wants a copy

 

[Hertsman]

Brands Hatch BSB meet, the Superstock race IIRC ?

Couple of riders got quite beat up in that one.

 

[RichardC27]

A couple more from me; Riki Christodoulou getting Druids at Oulton Park quite wrong

Of course I was doing some slow shutter speed panning when it happened so the shots of the actual crash are crap

 

[Goldeeno]

If they weren't crashing, it would be boring! BRISCA

Caught this at Silverstone FIA GT earlier this month.

andrewc, that shot is brilliant. I wonder if anyone has a photo from another angle with you in it.

Just joined here is my first ever crash pic:-

since i am new will stick to the 1 pic rule but i ended up with a concussion after the car hit the barrier and i took a wooden post to the head

 

[jimlizard]

This one was taken more than 3 years ago. European Rallycross Championship - Division 1A.
Lousada, Portugal

It wasn't exactly a crash, because he kept racing and hold his position for a couple of laps more. Portuguese driver, of course.

I'm not a crash magnet, so don't have a large library of crash images to choose from.
This incident, from the Euroboss cars, I caught last weekend. Should have made a better of job of it I know!, but thought I would share it anyway!

Going.... going....

Gone....

Some of these are amazing. Not so much because of what happened (although some of these crashes are spectacular) but because of the quality of photography. I just can't imagine taking a photo like this

One from me, shot hand-held at 1/50th sec (clicky for bigger version if you like).

I think it's great. I have no idea how this photo was taken. How can the car be so sharp and detailed yet the background is blurred? What settings did you use?

 

[steve172]

Slow shutter speed and pan with the car

 

[peterattheboro]

My best crash shot is gonna have to be my most recent.

+ It's currently on BTCC.net

 

[Bazza]

140mph, front brake leaver clipped the handlebars of the bike next to him resulting in this...

Forks and front wheel left the bike altogether ( I know, I know I'm being naughty posting two )

Bazza was the Marshall ok?

 

[cokebottles]

Oulton Park, 31.05.09 Formula Renault race, opening lap.

This looks kinda scary "it's heading right for us!!" - I'm guessing everything was ok!?

 

[andrewc]

Car was wedged in the tyre barrier. Armco behind was pushed back and the sturdy wooden posts that holds it up broke. I got showered in gravel. Driver OK. Car OK (new nosecone needed - only £ 2000)

I got a print of this done (using free offers at Photobox it was cheaper to get extra prints done than not!) and gave it to the teams mechanics so seemed delighted with it.

Good shot - but then you're almost guaranteed a crash with Ginettas

Here are a couple from the SMRC event at Knockhill on 28th June 09. Turned round quickly to get these so a bit of processing required.

renault clios at snett a few years back.
i did post it earlier but the link broke when i redesigned my site

and as we seem to be posting more than one here is some more:

i havent had a decent crash shot in ages.. which is a good thing, because i wouldnt be shooting at a fast enough shutter speed to catch it anyway

 

[Kosta]

Gaz, nice shot of Chris "i need a new shell after every meeting" Law in the Clio.

Didnt that one of the Halfords Honda get photo of the year in Motorsport News? Or am i completely imagining it?

Not sure if this is my first post here or not, but couldn't resist adding this pic...
My mate at Snetterton for Thundersport GB on 10th July - he managed to find the only puddle on the track! All fine, even managed a 2nd place in the first race!!
