What are you recording, nothing You little idiot

We didn’t see anything

R.I.P.

Big nothing burger

Simonsen's was the third car that spun on that corner. Was there possibly some oil on the track?

10 years ago today, RIP

Allan a été transporté dans l’ambulance jaune ?

Wonder what injury’s he had

That metal guard rail tells how hard that impact was....it was bent in from the driver side hitting it so Allan absorbed all of the energy from that impact. The human body cannot take that sort of energy with a sudden stop. RIP Allan Simonsen

psycho people laughing

R.I.P crazy how a seemingly minor crash took his life.

0:16 what the fuck was that guy doing.

*Angle*

I can’t see the Angel 👼 ……was it the one in the brown hood?

As the character Jean-Pierre Sarti said in the film Grand Prix, 'If you imagine, really imagine what it would be like to go into a tree at 150 miles per hour you would never get into a car in the first place.' The tree's been there a long time, it's going nowhere. RIP.

Very very sad moment, a that happen in the first lap of the race

Tire wall just before the barrier would have been good, I don't know why they haven't thought of that even for that turn.

1:18 you can literally see the tree moving after the impact

Race should have been red flagged due to the car location, debris, and driver side door being off. Plus the fact the one tree on the track that could be hit was hit. They cut the tree down under yellow I believe.

The most beautiful and the most brutal sport. So sad😔

Flags waving everywhere caution lights are out and still nobody slows down goes whizzing by a guy who's sitting stalled in the middle of the track over a hundred miles an hour it just goes to show how selfish and greedy some race car drivers are they won't even slow down for their fellow drivers

RIP Allan :(

The bodyshell doesn't look excessively damaged as far as I can see. At what approximate speed did he hit the fence (or the wall ) ?

Excelent driver and very good person.

RIP Simonsen

What caused him too pas away, so sad rip Allan I remember watching him at Bathurst 12 hour he was a class above everyone

R.i.p.

Crash is not in view..?

That was no angle. Why is there a paid promotion on a death?

Sleep well my friend

This camera dude is getting a horrible clip

I’m sure every single person in the paddock was like “hell ya let’s go racing”. And even though it’s THE La mans 24 hour, the ultimate test of man and machine, conditions that day caused something unacceptable. In reality, a shunt like that is driver error unfortunately. But there’s an error somewhere along the way in choices of materials, or timing, or any number of things one could dig up to place blame on. Obviously no one knew what or how something like that could have happened but a fatality none the less is unacceptable. And it saddens me. Every time a driver is killed it puts the world off from racing just a little bit more each time. Emissions and waste arguments are enough to deal with let alone the fact that no matter how save it is, it will still be one of the most dangerous activities on earth.

Actual impact is the right rear corner On a desktop/laptop (no iPad or phone) and if content creator enabled frame-by-frame Go to time 1:16 and step through by tapping the “.” until time is 1:17 Count 19 taps, and you will see at the “M” in the first “Motorsport” banner, Allen Simonsens Aston strike the barrier.

0:17 that guy didn´t like... something

realy sad and shocking moments..

He hits the tree behind the o in fOrza

Watched the live broadcast as always when it happened. It really hit me when they announced his death later, to me the crash didn’t look that bad. Yes, the Aston was pretty bent but compared to the two Audi crashes the year before.....!?

Grosfillex Miami Bistro Chair in the shot of the crash.

the track was damp and the Simonsen was wide in the turn to the outside of another car and caught some of the curbing that is painting in laytex which when wet is slick (this is a problem with the lines at the IMS during the 500 often) he immediately lost side grip and his momentum took him into a hydroplane slide flush with the drivers door side into Armco barrier that was fasted directly to trees..........the crush to the side impact of the car and drive was immediate with a violent recoil throwing the car back............when I saw it live they didn't catch any of this on Camera but I notice the roof was damaged which first made me think the car had been upside down..............however, when looking at the roof I saw no cosmetic damage to the paint on it but only the structural damage of the frame/chasiss/rollcage.......which told me that had to be a sideways hit on the drivers side so severe it would crash the cage area in such a manner and knew it was bad. ......................the G force and stop on the neck, brain, spinal column or the soft tissue of the heart any one of those areas is suspectable to a fatal injury with such an impact.........away wreak.....................need to eliminate the laytex type of painting on racing surfaces (even though they are highly reflective and easy to see) because when it is humid or cold they get slippery............notice that when you walk in tennis shoes in a parking lot on paint lines and you slip sometimes?................imagine a tire gripping for all its worth with a side bite in a turn and hitting that..............

it didn't look like a big crash

"Where is the crash?..."

After this crash, they installed a double-layer tire wall where Simonsen hit. Basically an admission that there should have been one there in the first place. If a driver loses it on the exit there, they can hit hard at almost 90 degrees.

1:15 CRASH

I still don't know why there is still steel barriers being used in racing ? Overseas race track's need to wake up.

didnt even see the actual wreck.. this is clickbait

Ze Crash!!

several cars losing control in this part of the track, paint or oil or something must be on that track. And that impact was HARD, omg!

Les commissaires de piste ont vraiment pas fait leur job.car il me semble après 3 ou 4 qui dérape il aurait dû bien avant signaler avec leur drapeau que cette portion du circuit était glissant.ce qui a jamais était le cas.resultat un mort qui a mes yeux aurait pu être éviter!!

Please can someone explaine me why he died, because when i look all the clips i cant imagine how he died :( !! R.I.P Allen Simonsen

World's shittest camera man, RIP to Allan
