The Nurburgring may be the Mecca for driving enthusiasts, but it’s also one of the most demanding tracks in the world, with very little room for error.
Over the years, the Green Hell has claimed many lives and the integrity of countless vehicles. One of the latest cars to have fallen victim to the [in]famous German circuit was a second-gen BMW M6.
The car was being pushed in between the apexes quite fast, with the driver filming everything from the cockpit, when it lost grip due to what the driver says was an oil puddle. At the time, the M6 was traveling at approximately 200 km/h (124 mph), so there wasn’t anything the person holding the wheel could have done to keep it away from the guardrail.

Even after the initial impact, which left a few deep scars on the front end and left side of the M6 Coupe, the driver struggled to regain control of the car. The accident is said to have happened earlier this month, and luckily, nobody was injured.
The video uploader, who appears to be the driver of the said car, did make a bold statement. He claimed that a criminal mind could have been behind the alleged oil puddle that led to the crash, as “it’s not the first time an accident like this happened” due to “a mysterious oil puddle”.
