The Most Horrific Crashes In All Of Motorsports History

4. Japan’s Super GT

Besides the usual risks of speed, racers at the 1998 Super GT at Fuji Speedway were subjected to the additional challenge of unrelenting rain and fog. Under such conditions, the safety car should not have been driving the parade lap as fast as it was, and when it slowed suddenly, caused drivers behind it to aquaplane and crash. Ota came barreling down the track but slowed before hitting a Porsche, driven by Tomohiko Sunako and both vehicles burst into flames. Ota was trapped and burned significantly. As a result, his career ended.
