Fiesta ST Crash at the Nurburgring (clio camera car)

[chrispy.clio]

Just spotted this video on youtube, one of the worst crashes at the Schwedenkreuz corner (i think
thats the corner)

The guy is ok which is the main thing but poor car :dapprove:

Another harsh reminder to the fact that the Nurburgring should be respected.

 

[freemo77]

thats awful , hope the dude was alright

 

[woolford172]

lucky to walk away alive from that!

 

[Bluebeard]

Christ, I wonder what the bill came too??

Must've been £000's!

 

[Bloooor]

I'm not sure what I would do after a crash like that... I live for the Nurburgring tbh crave it every year...

I'm pretty sure I would be back, I wouldn't be able to tell my parents though! Would have a heart attack knowing i was back on it lol

 

[ScarySquirrel]

Whoa! That is nasty.

A friend of mine lost his car and got a big bill from the Nurburgring last year. He came with us to the ring this year but as a passenger. He said he wouldnt do it in his new car unless it was fully insured. He lost around £3500 i think

 

[fUbAr]

bloody hell!

the fiesta stood up pretty well tbh.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Must be pretty expensive stuff that, hope he had track insurance.

 

[Mr Burns]

Ouch! At least he missed the barrier!

 

[chriscummins7]

WOW thats horrendous... you're right there Daniel

 

[Gally]

Wow, that's nasty.

His first fail was going on the track with those 17's! :nono:

 

[Tunst]

Christ that held up well

 

[Bluebeard]

Are we blaming lift off oversteer?

 

[dunganick]

I always crash there on Grandturismo lol, Albeit not that spectacularly. Well impressed with how the Fiesta held up.

Hope the guy is alright, and didnt get too badly raped by the circuit.

 

[Christopher]

Looks like high speed lift-off to me. No return.

 

[Ad]

Are we blaming lift off oversteer?

would seem a good guess to me also at the corner.

 

[chrispy.clio]

Yeah i'd say its deffo a case of zee old lift-off-oversteer to me.

Thought it could have somthing to do with the Biker that overtook him at first but the biker was much further infront when the back end sliped away

 

[Dave..]

Stood up bloody well that did! A hell of a let better than a saxo at least...

 

[Herr Flick]

may just be me being thick but, the car that was following looked to me like an old astra not a clio?

 

[MarcoB]

Ive never been so can't comment but looks like the crest and camber of the track might have something to do with it. Ive binned a car in the same situation

 

[MarcoB]

may just be me being thick but, the car that was following looked to me like an old astra not a clio?

the interior is definately a clio haha

 

[g.cameron]

you are being thick rich lol, clearly a clio dash from the camera, the old astra could just have parked since seeing the crash

but credit to the fiesta holding up and leaving the driver all okay,

 

[maynard]

jesus, that guy was lucky.

 

[ForceIndia]

After seeing a few similar vids and pics, I doubt I'll ever go. I don't see the point in going all that way to mooch around slowly, and with all the traffic/bikers etc I wouldn't want to go over and drive hard.

Its a ph2. Looks like the guy in the clio got a bit light going in too. Nasty off :dead:

 

[Christopher]

They wouldn't let you on with no Cup Pack, anyway.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Combination of speed, lift off and a little crest at the apex = sky ground sky ground sky ground......

Glad he's ok. Lucky it rolled as that would have dissipated some of the energy. Must have been pushing 3 figures there ?!

 

[ForceIndia]

You binned cup suspension for GAZ. Ergo YOU are void.

 

[Christopher]

Not me Sir! lol.

F*ck paying out when they came with the car and aren't broken.

How many miles in the 200 now?

 

[Slammed172]

Nasty stuff, I think seeing the bill for that would put me back in hospital.

 

[Fred@BTM]

billy lifted, billy crashed

 

[Bluebeard]

billy lifted, billy crashed

(Imo of course)

The only reason you lift mid corner is because you don't know the track. If you don't know the track, you shouldn't be going that fast.

I wonder what part the motorbike played in that crash? He easily overtook it earlier in the lap and then it caught him back up again and overtook him, I wonder if he was trying to give it that little bit extra to get back past the bike.

 

[dmn1989]

ouch nasty one. why was the clio so far behind though? thats what i want to know

 

[Tony Hunter]

ouch nasty one. why was the clio so far behind though? thats what i want to know

Traveling at a safe distance,just a guess of course.

 

[richard1]

Sad sight

To be honest, it is a hard place to reign yourself in when driving, but definately worth it!

 

[tommys]

thats rediculous.

lucky to be alive

 

[Marky_]

Nasty place for an accident! Very fast section.

 

[Weeman]

My mate Ian barrel rolled his arosa there when it went light over the crest before, aside from the foxhole and Pf3 the most dangerous section to have an off for sure. Looks like he may of lifted a wee bit for the bike as the closing speed was fairly quick, and a lift there is a definate no no 100+ mph bend.

Not sure what he "may" be claiming for and unless he has given up all hope of anything to do with insurance, I'd suggest that video is promtly removed by his mate.
