The Most Horrific Crashes In All Of Motorsports History

3. German GP

The 1976 German GP became a household name after the film, Rush, hit the big screen in 2013. The movie told the story of rivals James Hunt and Niki Lauda, two accomplished Formula 1 drivers. They raced in the German GP under challenging conditions at the Nurburgring Nordschleife. The track was wet and when Lauda carved a turn in his Ferrari, he lost control and hit a wall. He became trapped in his car which was quickly being consumed by fire. The quick response of other drivers saved his life as they pulled him out and he was left to recover with scars and burns.
