Default Mummy, I crashed the M3 :-/

Happy 2nd Birthday!




Horror Crash auf der Nordschleife mit einem e36 M3 [ Geplaudere Forum ] - www.BMW-Syndikat.de [ Forum ]

motorsport can be dangerous ? Grüne Hölle mach ihrem Namen Ehre asphaltfrage.de


Driver is fine except for a broken arm....crash was the Mini's fault you can see in the back in one of the pictures.

M3 was doing approx. 155 mph when in a blind corner that Mini was driving on the racing line, which was drying off, M3 tapped the Mini's rear end and both went off, M3 flipped several times........luckily the car was a properly set up Ring Tool with cage and everything you can possibly want for a street legal race car

November weather on the Nordschleife is pretty dangerous, wet road and leaves = ice-like surface

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

So, how does that make it the mini's fault?

thats an original M3 GT / M3 US Lightweight spoiler, it's needed for that huge front splitter you can see in one of the pics (which is also an original BMW part) to get the car street legal (what it has to be to drive on the Nordschleife)

it was in the way no seriously, maybe I should reconsider that what I said.

fact is that when you have a faster car catching up on you, you have to drive on the right side of the road and let it pass.....I don't know how "blind" that corner was though
