Bad weather can turn a boring race into a nail biter, as all drivers must quickly adapt to the constantly changing grip conditions and not leave any time on the table. It can also dramatically affect visibility. In this video, Dino Zamparelli gets caught out by the combination of bad weather and a queue of slow moving cars, but expertly keeps his F2 single seater out of the barriers. — Dino Zamparelli / Via youtube.com

Rallying is ideally suited to capturing fantastic onboard video. In rallying, the cars go off into the sticks on long stages throughout the countryside, competing against the clock to get from A to B in the fastest possible time. Due to the remoteness of a lot of rallying stages, onboard video is typically the only way to see what happened out on the stage. In this video, WRC rising star Hayden Paddon completes the last stage of New Zealand based rally in record breaking time. — Hayden Paddon / Via youtube.com

The Isle of Man TT is nuts. I mean, it is SERIOUSLY NUTS!!! Guys on super fast sportsbikes drive as fast as they can around a tiny island. There are regularly deaths and serious injuries each year, since these guys are driving within inches of solid stone walls, red cast iron post boxes, lamp posts and a million and one other things that would hurt at 30mph, let alone 130mph. In this video, Guy Martin chases down Michael Dunlop. — lockk9 / Via youtube.com

You remember I said before that rallying was a time trial based sport. That means that the cars are released, one at a time, with decent gaps between them to avoid catching the guy infront. Well, that's the idea but it doesn't always turn out that way. Just watch this video to see why. — rallyboy1971 / Via youtube.com

360 degree video is going to be big, hell it already is. Just check out this get 360 video from onboard an aerobatic display team plane. Not sure if Buzzfeed will support the playback of 360 video properly but you should be able to move your phone around to see all around the cockpit of the plane. If you are viewing on a laptop, you can use your mouse to do the same thing. If Buzzfeed doesn't support these functions, follow the link to YouTube and watch it in all its glory. — USA Today / Via youtube.com

Although the race cars onboard is only a small part of this Formula E promotional video, I like how this racing series are finding interesting ways to interact with people on social media. Its something that a lot of other racing series (you know which I am alluding too) should seriously work on. — FIA Formula E Championship / Via youtube.com

This one did the rounds recently. It shows what can happen when the brakes fail on your racing car when travelling at high speed. The driver then gets lost on public roads outside the circuit after smashing through some gates and failing to find his way back to the pits. — David Jones/Race-Keeper / Via youtube.com
