HOLY SHITBALLS ON A FIRE STICK, BATMAN!

Every time Daytona or Talladega comes 'round, you hear the announcers predicting "the big one". It's usually impressive, in a bad way.

This had me laughing my ass off in that "Holy balls! Look at the carnage! OH MY GOD!" way. *gasp* *MEGALOL*, *gasp* *MEGALOL*

Wow... Kiss a good $20,000,000 goodbye in that one, kids.

Damn...
That's "the big one" on an epic scale...

i remember seeing on top gear that to make an F1 car go one second faster around a track it needed at least another 1 million dollars. so im sure those are worth more than a million dollars, easy. thats probably like 5 million at least to make it, and who knows how much to maintain it and pit costs and paying the people who work on it...oh god that was probably like 1 billion dollars worth of damage. maybe more like 100 million

Ah, I see. Anyway, it was the 1998 Belgian GP and I watched every race because back then F1 was still interesting (because of Häkkinen, perhaps). It was a funny race - only eight cars made it to the finish line.
