Bottom post of the previous page:

Austria 2001, four cars stall in the grid, then the first Ferrari team orders incident. The latter wasn't so funny when it was repeated a year later.

Lewis lining up on his own on the grid at the Hungarian GP last year..
Hamilton led the field around for the race restart formation lap on a dry Hungaroring. He found himself alone on the grid as the other cars all dived into the pits to swap their intermediate tyres for slicks.

Hamilton took the restart with the rest starting from the pit lane.

I was there for the May 2021 Truck series race at Darlington. The race started out innocently enough, but like most NASCAR truck races, it ended up devolving into ARCA levels of comedy.

Still by far one of the best NASCAR races I've been to.
yes, I am the NASCAR flip list guy...

I was going to put F1 at Spa in 2021 here but you can't really call that a race.

1994 German Grand Prix was funny in a positive way :tongue: Ukyo Katayama running in top 3 before his throttle gave up :tearful:

Not to mention half the field eliminated within the first lap or two.

The rain race for the 2020 NASCAR Xfinity series at Charlotte was pretty hilarious to watch. Stock cars + road course + rain = incredible entertainment. This years August Daytona race was pretty meme-worthy as well.

In the 2004 Pepsi 400, rival Cola brand Coca-Cola sponsored 8 cars, Kurt Busch (4th), Tony Stewart (5th), Kevin Harvick (14th), Ricky Rudd (17th), Bill Elliott (18th), Jeff Burton (23rd), Greg Biffle (31st) and John Andretti (43rd).

Despite Coca-Cola's best efforts to undermine its competitors headline race weekend of the year, the lone Pepsi car in the field, driven by Jeff Gordon, won the race.

Incredible, it's like a demo derby. How come they were racing in the rain? I thought NASCAR never did that.

I thought Belgium 1998 was a demolition derby.
