  [Both drivers] reportedly escaped without serious injury.

  Modern car safety is truly stunning. Happy that they both survived.

    Those cars are shit, the driver probably thought when his car was flipping “shit shit shit SHIIIIIT”, everything is turned to shit

    It doesn’t, I agree. But I didn’t realize the severity of the incident, it provides more footage than what I saw last year, and it’s a fine lesson for anyone who plans on having a run there, or any track day

  Typical BMW driver turning without indicating (I am glad both are fine though)

  I think it’s good practice to signal you are giving the way, and for the one that takes over to wait for a clear indication. Yes people, I’m expecting a guy in a beemer to use his turn signals. We do it on track days. In my opinion the guy in the Porsche is at fault.

    Agreed. People can be so locked in to what they are doing they haven’t necessarily seen you. I thought it was standard practice, particularly on the ring, to indicate that you have seen them and will be sticking right.

    Porsche should not have been trying to overtake on a bend without seeing that signal so they knew the BMW was aware and giving way.

    I think the BMW still deserves a fair bit of the blame for being oblivious enough to not watch their mirrors, yield, or indicate. Sure, it could have been prevented by appropriate caution from the Porsche, but the first failure in the chain of events was the BMW’s poor situational awareness.

      When you see an opening, you go for it - They say in F1. But they aren’t professional drivers at all, and from the hours upon hours of YouTube videos I’ve watched, British people are often the most dangerous ones on the Nürburgring. They come from far away, they are tired, and want to get the most of their experience, which I totally understand. I go there on a regular basis as I live nearby enough, just to drive around and have currywurst for lunch. I have yet to find a day where it would seem reasonable and safe enough to have a first run on the circuit. I should go on a weekday maybe … On the weekend, no effin.way.
