Many people, including drivers, crew members, officials and spectators, have been killed in crashes related to the sport of auto racing, in races, in qualifying, in practice or in private testing sessions. Deaths among racers and spectators were numerous in the early years of racing, but advances in safety technology, and specifications designed by sanctioning bodies to limit speeds, have reduced the rate of fatal accidents.{{cite news |title=How Tech Keeps Racers Alive in Devastating Crashes|work=Autoweek|author=Pryson, Mike, Saward, Joe and Smith, Steven Cole|author-link=|date=December 4, 2020|accessdate=February 8, 2022| url=https://www.autoweek.com/racing/formula-1/a34866108/the-tech-and-training-behind-why-grosjean-is-still-alive/}} Major accidents have often spurred increased safety measures and rules changes.{{cite news |title=NASCAR: the science of racing safely|work=Physics World|author=Leslie-Pelecky, Diandra|author-link=|date=August 5, 2020|accessdate=February 8, 2022| url=https://physicsworld.com/a/nascar-the-science-of-racing-safely/}}{{cite web|url= https://www.autoweek.com/news/a2042231/nhra-cuts-race-distance-1000-feet-move-made-enhance-safety-after-kalittas-death/|title= NHRA cuts race distance to 1000 feet: Move made to enhance safety after Kalitta's death|date= July 2008}} Widely considered to be the worst accident{{cite news |title=On Auto Racing's Deadliest Day|work=The New York Times|author=Spurgeon, Brad|author-link=|date=June 11, 2015|accessdate=February 8, 2022| url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/12/sports/autoracing/on-auto-racings-deadliest-day.html?_r=0}} is the 1955 Le Mans disaster at 24 Hours of Le Mans that killed driver Pierre Levegh and approximately 80 spectators with over 100 being injured in total.
