- ablation 6y agoThe Isle of Man TT takes things up another notch, too: “Between 1907 and 2019 there have been 151 fatalities during official practices or races on the Snaefell Mountain Course, and 260 total fatalities (this number includes the riders killed during the Manx Grand Prix, and Clubman TT race series of the late 1940s/1950s).”

- tomatotomato37 6y agoSince it started in 1978, the Dakar Rally has had 75 deaths, with the last coupledeaths happening this year. Look up the DAF twin turbo II if you want to know how crazy this race is. Actually this video does a good job embodying the energy of it all; NSFW warning due to something resemebling a dead body mixed with debris in the latter half from one of the accidents though; most of it is shot via crappy 70s camcorder technology so it's kinda hard to tell: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cUnWnx_rdps https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cUnWnx_rdps
