Check out the mess of this E36 (edited) after a crash at the ring!
General Car Related Discussion.To discuss anything that is related to cars and automotive technology that doesnt naturally fit into another forum catagory.
I too hope they were ok. If they survived then no doubt the Cage did a great job. Looks Nasty and even End over End also. On the First straight after the bridge. Not long out of the tolls.
"The M3 was driven by an experienced driver. The cause of this accident was due to traffic. The M3 entered a blind curve where it hit a Mini Cooper driving a lower pace. After the impact the M3 got fire. In the end the vehicle was completely a total loss. The driver survived due to the build-in roll cage."
Very good braking by the in car video. Coming up over that crest at around 150 (estimation based on regular e46 m3, but not sure what car we were in? Nova?!) and then having to deal with all that traffic, whilst the road has damp patches whilst not panicking and yanking the wheel. Good job by the others for not joining the pile up. Just goes to show how bad the ring is. Accident probably happened a couple of mins before hand, guessing based on all the cars parked up, yet no yellow flag to give u warning u are about to go flat out into a crash scene...
Imagine ramping down there in a gt2 or something about 180 to 190 mph and finding that?!?!

if thats the case perhaps the driver wasnt so experienced? its not the traffics fault but the driver misjudging the likelyness of slow moving traffic on a blind bend?
i suppose its the risk you take.
