Nurburgring crash

[richie_mck]

Thankfully no one was killed......

That's was nasty

Wonder why they don’t have massive warning lights every half mile of ring that they can turn on when there’s a serous smash so the drivers know to slow.

In this case I believe the Marshall left early from that point.

I also seen an incar vid from one of the members here who ended up right in the incident, he may post the video if he spots the thread @Cooper has seen it too I believe, thankfully he was smart enough to get him and his car right out of the way.

Crazy crazy crash!

I've often thought that too, with even an emergency button that you can jump out and hit to activate.

I can't help thinking that when people stop dead and park (once they know there's an accident ahead), it can make the situation even more treacherous in some sections.

Would almost be handy to have Nurburgring flares to carry and if you come across something like that, you let it off (when safe) and then people could know well in advance that somethings up.

I’d planned to go next year and do Spa in the same trip, don’t think I’ll bother now! Absolutely no anticipation from the majority of the drivers that something could be going on round the bend.

The TT slamming sideways at the end sends shivers down my spine.

 

[G N K]

Complete carnage!

Certainly looks that way to me. He should have went on.

Seen this on FB today. Savage crash.

Fair play to that guy trying to warn others.

I know loads on here say it's a great track and you should do it at least once, but seeing stuff like that puts me right off.

I’d be back in a heartbeat even after seeing that. Obviously some people were only watching what the car in front was doing rather than reading the road at the rate they piled in

 

[pablo]

there is all kinds of stupid in the video

 

[Dan.86]

Incredible, good on that man, even though his own car took a shunt by the looks of it?

 

[Lyons]

Aye 911.

Mental. Great that he got out, not sure why he didn’t keep running though as he was obviously still too close to counter the entrance speeds.

That's the way I read it too he stopped there pretty selflessly to warn others as opposed to just parking up.

 

[Terry]

Yeah the guy who's doing the filming definitely seemed to have his head screwed on, checked his mirror before getting out, got behind the barrier and ran up to try to prevent further carnage

 

[Burt2000]

What a cluster****!

 

[richie_mck]

The tt looks to have held up remarkably well considering the impact it took on the os quarter and the state of the bm it hit. The importance of proper fabrication

[southsky sunrise]

100mph to scrap in the blink of an eye... glad everyone’s ok tho.

 

[gpaevo]

All caused by a 911 that bust a hose on the previous lap.

 

[Ian A]

Madness. Can’t get over how well that TT held up.

Fair play to your man trying to wave them all down.

I wonder would a radio channel even be an idea. They could broadcast crash on turn X in German / English / whatever. All users tuned in.

This is exactly why I drove round it like a Granny. I watched loads of these videos before I drove it
