Funny Racing Fails! Check Out This Collection Of Some Of The More Laugh-Worthy Moments From 2017!

Sometimes, all you can do is find the humor in a situation, no matter how messed up it may be. Did I slip and fall on some ice? The pratfall is one of the oldest and easiest laughs in the book. Did you narrowly avoid injury from an accident? Laugh it off…yes, you deal with the situation seriously. You look at what happened, figure out what worked and what didn’t, and you move forward, but at some point you have to laugh it off and move on. I’ve had a manifold backfire go off just a couple of feet from where I was standing. At the moment, I dropped every four-letter word in existence while scrambling backwards away from the car at full speed. Once I realized the driver was ok, I was uninjured and that the only harm done was under the hood, I took a bow and feigned checking my shorts to make sure all was well. Call it gallows humor or whatever works in said application…it’s a useful coping tool.

Normally, Racingfail is the home of bent sheetmetal and bruised egos, and there’s no change from the normal here. But this collection has some of the funnier moments that were captured…from the co-driver in a rally car performing Gorillaz karaoke to motorcyclists who suddenly and without warning completely dispatch with their bikes and attempt flight like some kind of messed-up jack-in-the-box, this is a collection of those moments that you talk about on the way back to the hotel, usually with the words “Did you see that…?” preceeding the event in question. Which moment is your favorite? We’ll pick the guy on the rally stage laying down banana peels like he’s playing Mario Kart…
