Let’s face it; there’s always an inherent danger to driving your car on a racetrack at any time. Period.
Personally, the only way I’d put my ride on the Nürburgring or any other circuit, would be if it was my…second or third joy ride, otherwise, I’d just hire a vehicle to be on the safe side. But hey; that’s just me.
This adventurous BMW M4 Coupe driver found out why the hard way when he slipped around a corner during one of the Nürburgring’s public driving sessions (known as Touristenfahrten), when its possible for almost anyone over 21 with a license to either drive their own car or rent one from a number of rental companies.
The M4 sustained a broken face that will probably result in a hefty bill, especially if there are other underlying damages.
According to the video poster Auto Addiction, “I had to censor the number plate + driver’s face and re-upload the video because the owner of the car didn’t want to be recognized… Probably ashamed (no need to, most Ring drivers have been there, even Sabine Schmitz)”.
