Possible ABS Failure Leads To Flying Seat Ibiza At The Nurburgring
What we have here is a Nurburgring crash that’s a little more unusual than the power oversteer-induced Corvette smash we saw last week. It’s strange because as the little Seat comes into the frame, it looks as though it should make the corner.
Regardless, the driver slams on the brakes - perhaps out of panic - and for whatever reason, the ABS doesn’t function. Maybe it was a failure, or it could have been somehow disabled, but the end result is the same - the car stops turning and goes straight on, right into the Armco barrier. Ouch.
Thankfully, the occupants - unlike the two people in the Corvette crash - quickly get themselves out of harm’s way.
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.

You know why? Because all these people think they are super-heroes by turning-off traction control. If they had the traction control on, this could easily be saved by the computer.
Is it a bird? is it a plane? No.. it’s a small Spanish hatchback
