That actually never happened. Famously in 1996 only three drivers finished, but that's the most extreme case.


* TruthInTelevision: Monaco ''is'' That One Level in Formula One. It's the only track where drivers who ''failed to finish'' have won because they made it farther than everyone else! Being composed entirely of narrow city streets don't help either.

** Think ''Forza Motorsport 2''[='=]s "New York Circuit" is a nightmare, with its long straightaways and extremely sharp turns? You haven't seen the worst of it. In ''Forza Motorsport 3'', they add tire walls to the circuit, in a zig-zagging pattern, which can catch many racers coming from ''Forza Motorsport 2'' off guard. Hell, it catches the ''computer racers'' off guard. Set the difficulty to easy, and [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments watch at least one car run head on into a tire barrier without fail, which is funny]]... unless they get in your way and make you wreck. You'll be glad for the game's [[AntiFrustrationFeatures rewind button.]]

* The President's Run in ''VideoGame/{{Driver}}''. Your felony meter starts at max, so every cop in town is after you and drives at maximum speed, the roads are slick with rain and snow, and you're driving a slow and sluggishly handling limousine, so the cops are much faster than you. Which leads to you being [[CycleOfHurting helplessly smashed to scrap metal]] after being [=PITted=]. The PSX version also has FBI cars beside the police, and a taxi blockade at the start in all directions. Also the enemy cars are much faster than on all the other levels. Which means they can easily catch up to you with a lot of speed difference and turn you around even when you'r at full speed in the straights. Also they carry so much momentum, that it breaks the game engine and they push you enough as they ram you to clip through walls. At least your car can take more punishment than usual.
** That assumes you got past the ForcedTutorial. Many players ''never actually got to play the game'' because of it.

** That assumes The first ''Driver'' is infamously known for its hard as balls tutorial mission [[ForcedTutorial that you got past cannot skip]]. You're asked to perform a bunch of driving maneuvers in just one minute (one of them being the ForcedTutorial. Many players ''never actually got to play salom, which many people didn't know what it was). Between the game'' because of it.tight time limit and the game sometimes not registering that you done a maneuver correctly, many people gave up on the game before it even began!
