Try Not To Cry As Pink Floyd Drummer Nick Mason Crashes His McLaren F1 GTR At Goodwood
Brace yourself for this one. Nick Mason, the famous car enthusiast and drummer for Pink Floyd, has crashed his McLaren F1 GTR while driving it at Goodwood.
He was part of a demonstration ‘race’ of stunning old GT cars at last weekend’s 75th Goodwood Members’ Meeting, including a Ferrari F40 and Porsche Carrera GT, when he apparently lost control at the first part of the St Mary’s complex, hitting the tyre wall.
The 73-year-old music legend was thankfully unhurt, but the automotive legend sadly wasn’t, as you can see from these pictures. The main broadcast didn’t catch the whole incident on tape and it all unfolds quite suddenly. Jumping to the action just as the impact occurs is the sort of thing that could give a car guy an aneurysm.
On a car this valuable we’re positive that the damage is repairable. Rowan Atkinson’s F1 suffered a worse fate and that was fixable. That doesn’t stop us wanting to cry a bit, though. Or a lot. If anyone needs us we’ll be in the men’s room, erm, because we think we have something in our eyes…

Trying not to cry is like trying not to buy car parts: IMPOSSIBLE 😭😭😭😭
Still have to give this guy kudos for putting such an amazing car on the track where it deserves to be and not turning it into garage queen!!
He must be ‘comfortably numb’ after the impact of that crash
Pink Floyd member plus an F1 GTR? This should have ended better
He crashed into The Wall.
Let that sink in for a moment
He crashed into The Wall.
All in all, it’s just another car in the wall.
Roger Waters be like: “Careful… careful… with that F1, Mason…” start screaming like hell
