Might be a little off topic but i remember a few from the 80's from touring cars.

1/ One guy crashed his Falcon coming down 'The Dipper' at Bathurst in 1984 wiping out a concrete wall and nearly harpooning a Capri in the process. Can't recall driver's name might have been Murray Carter or someone like that?

Question from commentator: "So what caused the accident mate?"

Answer: "Dunno it was just out of control!"

2/ Kevin Bartlett circa 1977 after a collision with a backmarker:

"The guy clearly wasn't looking in his mirrors, I tell you somone could have been killed out there today. I'm gonna punch that bloke in the mouth when the race is over!" ....or words to that effect.

3/ Steve Soper in the pits at 1988 TT on hearing the Dicko Sierra had just encountered problems:

"Really? well... i'm just ever so upset"
