Horrible Ring crash!
Horrible Ring crash!

Quote:"Found this over on a BMW forum. It was on a closed-track trackday instead of the usual touristenfahrten. The impact happened at the fastest part of the circuit at the end of the longest straight between antoniusbuche and tiergarten. I'm guessing the M3 was doing in the region of 160mph. From what I've read he was an experienced ringer and unfortunately hit the back of the slower moving mini (that can be seen in the background of the pics) after coming over the blind crest. The driver of the M3 got away with only a broken arm!
Let this be a warning to anyone venturing there!"

And a video of the scene afterwards:

Some sort of day when you can go right down the straight from start to finish.
Really makes you think

That is a pretty scary end result, that's put me off visiting the ring even more now
