The Ten Most Expensive Car Crashes Ever

I would think the #2 crash of 14 F1 cars would be most expensive if valued on today's collector car market. More than one Ferrari 250 GTO I bet. I have seen some expensive cars wreck. Several Porsche 962's. One in Sebring hit the wall in the last turn and went over the fence and landed about 10 ft from my Porsche in the Porsche Paddock. In one race at Daytona two BMW M1s burned from fuel leaks. Also saw a Porsche 962 in Daytona qualifying that spun in the oval turn 4 and went high into the air...probably at 200 mph. It landed upside down and the rear engine split from the front of the car. Driver walked away.
