10 Of The Biggest Racing Game Crashes Ever Seen

Sometimes you just want to cause huge shunts on racing games. On other occasions, a glitch can cause a monumental crash. Here are some of the best to have been caught on video...

How about we start things off with a F1 2016 game crash compilation? There are some brilliantly weird and wacky smashes in this one (just try to ignore the music).

When Nascar drivers crash, they usually crash pretty hard. So it’s nice to know Forza Motorsport 6 got that right with its game and AI model. Once one driver goes, the rest just pile right into their spinning, crashing rivals.

This crash in Project Cars kicks off pretty slowly but it definitely picks up pace as other drivers pile right into the carnage, producing even more chaos. It’s brilliant to watch.

When you get challenged to cause a red flag in the F1 2014 game with Pastor Maldonado, you know it’s going to happen. YouTuber Tiametmarduk tracks his journey to causing a huge red flag-causing shunt and it’s super entertaining.

Wow, this one is INSANE. F1 2016 hasn’t quite got the damage model right, as this video shows. That is some serious air!

You get a pretty sweet view of the race circuit, lakes, river and parkland though. Every cloud has a silver lining, right?

This person decided to do what pretty much everyone does in open public lobby races: basically shunt at full speed into the rest of the field and see what happens. In Valentino Rossi: The Game it results in some insane gameplay.

Someone clearly put the Ferrari F1 concept car of the future into Assetto Corsa and had a bit of a shunt, but it turned into a huge airborne crash that got a bit glitchy.

This crash from Gran Turismo 6 is ridiculous. It. Does. Not. Stop. The shunt goes on forever. It’s absolutely amazing and pretty unrealistic, but it makes for great viewing so we don’t really care.

How about another Nascar shunt? This one comes from the Nascar 15 game and looked kinda like real-life Nascar crashes in general. Once one car gets spun around, there’s little hope for anyone else.

How about another compilation video? This time, from Project Cars. It’s undoubtedly got a pretty decent damage model compared to others, so you can do some spectacular shunts and crashes. Big grids also help that.

All of these are the equivalent of a normal day in Forza Motorsport.

Beginning of a race, small road and a hairpin. Better use that ghost mod

Nothing big compared to crashes that happen in Live For Speed multiplayer.
