The Weirdest Moments in Motorsports Throw us Some Major Head Scratchers

Sometimes, in motorsports, we have amazing moments unfold in front of our eyes. Between the photo finishes and close calls, a good race can really be enough to get the adrenaline pumping. At the end of the day, these moments are really why we do it all. Being able to witness pure competition in its rawest form is really at the heart of racing.

However, that doesn’t have to be where the excitement stops. Instead, there are some moments where things get all wacky and can really provide an entertaining plot twist here and there. Sometimes, when things go off the rails in an unexpected direction, it can really draw our attention and keep us entertained as well.

This time, we check out somebody who took it upon themselves to compile such moments. In a video that they sum up quite nicely by calling it the “Weirdest Motorsports Moments,” we check out just that. From drivers prematurely celebrating to spinning out and running into obscure objects, some of these situations just aligned in pure obscurity.

At the end of the day, we really never know how a race is going to unfold and this is why we race in the first place. Sure, with all of the data available to us today, some might be able to predict pretty accurately how a race is going to turn out. The unknown that we don’t know about, though, is the big draw in the back of our minds that keeps us coming back.

By following along with the video below, we’re treated to a collection of instances that might never happen again. Maybe in a parallel universe, these things happened in a different way. However, while we’re living over here in the real world, we can’t help but recognize that some of these oddball happenings are once-in-a-lifetime events.
