BMW M235i Gets Up Close And Personal With The Camera In This 'Ring Crash
This triple Nurburgring VLN crash looks bad enough on this video - with the number 668 car slamming into the barrier right where the camera is stood - but the worst of it is actually just out of the frame. The video’s uploader explains that 668 rolled over (hardly surprising giving the way it launches away from the shot) while number 695 suffered a “triple flip roll-over” before hitting a catch fence. Ouch.
We’ve not been able to find any firm reports about the conditions of the drivers after the incident, but the consensus in the comments section of the video seems to be that only one ended up in hospital, with relatively minor injuries.
As for the cars, we can 668 and 695 hauled away on trucks later in the video, and it’s not a pretty sight…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Smile for the camera!
Look mom! I finally got to the Nürburgring… FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
A M235i with Mustangitis got too excited at the sight of a camera
when you get Forza for the first time and you haven’t quite gotten the controls down
This is what happens when three cars go full BRAPAPAPAPAPAPAPA STUTUTUTUTUTUTUTU and the guys driving them fail to gain traction……
So kinda like that joke ?;)
Oh look, a camera.
Let’s look good.
Oh no. Oh no. OH NO OH NO OH NO!
That didn’t end well
Someone must have thought he was playing Race Driver: GRID on a different sort of racing wheel.
aint that tragic
bmw and mustangs have secret meetings, where they organise their masterplans of eradicating the human race, one crowd crash at a time..
I’m sorry but what is VLN?
it stands for Veranstaltergemeinschaft Langstreckenpokal Nürburgring. for some reason that name never really took off haha
