Crash BMW M3

[RICHIWEL]

yeah ugly BMW.

[Therealanimale]

Good camerawork. The camera was already off the car to probably focus on the next car, but quicky turned back when the tires screeched.

[Yamol87]

its just a car = fun

[Gixxer983]

Way she goes buddy.

[boutbout999]

is this on nurbourgrin?

[Marauder1981]

@boutbout999

no its on the Nürburgring. Nordschleife to be exactly.

[belverin01]

@boutbout999 Nürburgring

[rkadrian]

nawet sie chuje nie zatrzymały

[genius7000]

almost held it aswell

[TheZa1994]

Theres not a lot of people at this race show. Probably because the race cars are'nt going very fast.

[geppegep]

noob! did he died?

[FiestaGFJ]

@geppegep Why did you call him a noob? I really wanna see how you make it better. Grow up, boy

[alexhamster1134]

@FiestaGFJ cos he is a noob. do it any better? how about no, better to live, than to die like an idiot.

[marathonberlin]

wherefor is it good for - absolutly nothing -

[XxBlackxPitbullxX]

der kleine schreit Tadeus :)

[K0K4NE]

how not to drive

[PD666]

Well, in a game that crash could have been avoided if he had not countersteer. Since the car is RWD, and the traction was lost at the front because the gas cut off, if he only gave it gas again and kept the tires straight, after the grass the car would have been hable to catch grip and gone straight. The countersteer was made with one tire on the grass, so it sent the car into a vortex.

[Onelastshot04]

He had it until it just grabbed hard, and with those racing tires it just got thrown.

[fifficus]

0:19 der drift war so perfekt, warum lenkt er nach links?!?!?

[dicktp]

@fifficus He correctly steers wheel to the left until one poiont otherwise he would carsh instantly on the right.

His mistake was he took foot from throtthe, and even worse, hit the brakes.

[RIDEBMX416]

guts man . 

[Scarffo123]

He didn't 'suddenly steer left', he was countersteering to and suddenly caught a patch of traction, and it swung left. It was a mistake that anyone could have made, I just feel sorry for the poor guy. It doesn't look like he over-corrected because he was already in control of the slide around the corner, but then it switched right.

[95115964]

he should complete the drift not steer that hard to the left

[SuperLuke68]

Like how noone goes to help him!

[Henri2902]

@SuperLuke68 That would just lead to another accident, the cars are flying in the corner about a speed of 100-150 km/h and if a person gets hit by that speed, he's dead for sure! But i think they managed to help him somehow.

[noobiecf]

nurburgring nordschleife whorst track ever... (but i love it the races on it)

[cpmisalive]

I hope that guy is ok!

Looked to me like he took the corner to tight and got the back end out, then over-corrected after the kerb and that's pretty much it, he's just a passenger.

[marty2721]

aus fehlern lernt man

[fuchsewilli]

tja wenn man gegenlenkt sollte man auch net ruckartig vom gas gehen klar das die räder dann wieder greifen und du in die richtung fährst wo die räder stehen xD

[niall456]

What he did wrong was suddenly turn left. Not a good idea.

[gp75motorsports]

@niall456 The car oversteered and as he was correcting it it caught grip. When that happens, you're just along for the ride.

[AntDX316]

either master having traction and stability control turned off if not leave it on

[nooka007]

the unforgiving green hell

[kaaoszx]

dont take your tbird around this track they are clownshoes you will surely die

[ceooner]

i want to take my 1979 tbird around this track lol i just hope this doesnt happen to me :)

[FedskaTheOne]

die BMW, die...

[jogijxxx]

@FedskaTheOne i'm satisfied for more than a day now ;)

[kameraguy]

good BMW driver, at least he was able to move the car over to the shoulder.

[Birtherforlife]

komme auch aus velbert

[freddydasmesser]

@Birtherforlife Tooooooooooool

[Steubel]

Klarer Fahrerfehler! Wer einmal ein Drifttraining absolviert hat, weisß wie man in solchen Situationen zu reagieren hat.

[inurkiewicz]

my god those marshalls are quick! he hadn't even hit the barrier and they were already waving the flag

[dacksoldier]

@inurkiewicz well its not that hard when you see and hear the car going sideways and its pretty much near impossible to recover...

[billygoatdawg081992]

that is why the Nurburgring has claimed over 250 deaths.

[Montoya2005]

29 actually!

[billygoatdawg081992]

what! seriously? I heard it was over 250. Guess they were wrong!

[Montoya2005]

yeah I thought it would be more but officially its 29 and people crashing on open track days are probably 1000's !

[88powerofdreams88]

its funny because the 29 deaths are only the ones pronounced dead at the ring, the ones that die in the hospital later are indeed well over 250.

[SjaakieT]

@88powerofdreams88 Bullshit.

[88powerofdreams88]

dont bullshit me, they only count the ones pronounced death at the ring. look it up

[sraf88]

i realy like your nickname...:)

[tribaldrummergod]

damn how i would love to race on the Nurburgring

[dergangedchipmunk]

@tribaldrummergod, grab your car drive to german wait for an open day, and race round, its amazing what people take round, vans, mini buses, etc lol

[silviubmw323]

comooooon..just give up racing...tu expensive 4 u...

[montevideoGT]

i bet he was talking with cell phone, i can save that manuva with a cup of coffee in one hand without droping the coffee :)

[airn2p]

LOL? talking on cellphone on a track..?

[CoLoToKo]

violent

[3000ST1]

nearly caught it - but ran out of track.

[ramv36]

Ouch, looked like understeer into snap-oversteer. Bad luck.

[airn2p]

Yeah...

[ramv36]

-4 I see...anyone care to correct me?

[alecgoodwin]

lol he nearly held it

[Otternase420]

It's a tribute from the fans.

[terminator363]

Hey whats with all the writing on the track?

[Hazaunwin]

i heard that its just from people that climb on track and just write on it. probs rubbish please correct if wrong

[terminator363]

Really? you mean like graffiti!?

[Hazaunwin]

apparently so.

[terminator363]

so stupid, :(

[qwerty123456789jhdtg]

People write stuff on the track ... what part do you not understand exactly ?

[little15nl]

Nordschleife The best !

[Andreas1986xyz]

overcouterstear klare sache

[1latinoguy]

Sad. At least he is doing in a track, not in a public highway.

[MrSupercoolman09]

@1latinoguy just buy GrantTurismo :))

[gdgdgfdggfdfg]

was the driver injured?

[herzglass]

einfach zerlegt...

[heatronack]

sad...

[BmwMPow3r]

Ich vermute den häufigsten Fehler...

Zu sehr gegengelenkt bzw zu spät wieder aufgemacht..dann kommt die kiste genau in die gegenentsetzte richtung...und dann knallts zu 80%

[knackebrot]

Da kann ich dir nur zustimmen.

Das erkennt man gut daran, das sich das Auto bis zum Moment des Aufpralls um 180 Grad gedereht hat, also sich mit dem Heck in Fahrtrichtung befand.

[pck3]

I saw shit like this all the time, except at Road Atlanta. I am thinking he put brakes on too hard and lost it, maybe I am wrong tho

[submitaweasel]

he started sliding and overcorrected

[fountasp10]

the green hell guys that expains everything

[dinamit875]

did anyone actually come down to see if driver was ok??? seems to me nobody cares for driver's life, people are just interesting in races....

[enjoichris411]

be reet! lmao

[venquessa]

If you go running out onto the track before the marshalls have calmed the approaching cars you are risking more lives.

[Soulvex]

bad weight transfer

[kekke2000]

As most cars it has an engine in front and nothing in the rear. So yes =P But I must say this crash was 99% driving style. If he'd slow down, he'd never crashed ;)

[derbigpr500]

Wrong. M3 has almost 50%-50% weight distribution, so its not about that.

[JeffroGymnast]

correct, M3 has just about perfectly balanced weigh distribution.

[lexluthor400]

CORRECTION! The guy below was right. He is refering to the car going left to right to left which builds momentum and throws the car in a direction i.e. like in the video. It is more commonly refer to as "overcorrecting" , but is basically the same thing. It does not matter if the car has perfect weight distribution, you cant throw it back and forth, especially on a down hill turn.

Physics is a bitch!

[JeffroGymnast]

ah, yeah thats something different entirely. He came in with the back sliding right, then pulled it around to the left, and lost it. too much gas

[jose7777777777777777]

That happens all the time in there. People get desperate and over-compensate and dont have enough time to see what they are doing.

[mattslbbr]

oversteered and turned the wheel past opposite lock i.e. he over compensated

[snoopymko]

noooooooooooooooooooooo

[jonokiller]

does that corner have the most crashes seems 3/4 of vids i see are crashes on that corner.

[99shill]

yep almost all crashes seem to happen there as its one of the slippiest parts of the track, driven it myself and i was takin it easy and i got a handful of oversteer

[fulanilovincriminal]

No, actually the reason you see a lot of crashes there is that it's easy to get to for spectators. It's no worse than any other corners really, blind crest, off camber, hidden dip etc...

[entenknie]

eidadautz.

[THEkingjaymz]

These races aren't very exciting but man do those cars sound great

[sqwakiller]

he shoulda kept his wheels facing the direction of the road and he might just have drifted out of the corner

[bennie1980]

he zigged where he should have zagged...

he was sliding it into the apex of the corner really nice @ 00.20, but he countersteered in the wrong direction

[feffe85]

"but he countersteered in the wrong direction" <-- hows that possible? you cant counter-steer in the same direction ur already turning :P it was overcompansation..

[TheMadkent]

@feffe85 It wasn't 'overcompensation' it's called snap oversteer. In the car it's like this: turning, turning, too fast no grip, no grip, no grip countersteer and let off throttle ahhh grip ohhh fuck fuckk fuckk brakeeeee too late BANG! go home

[ownage2214]

I felt he understeered, realized what he had done, but then the tail went out and he went into counter-steer mode, at that point he regains traction and the car veers into the rail because he did NOT need to countersteer that heavily.

[shaahinMT]

so sad:(

[eloidor]

Faggot..

[eloidor]

TDM is a better all around class light years technologically ahead of that jap shit they race there that doesn't have audience outside jap. TDM is the core of real stock car racing.

[Vampyre000]

Hope that guy was ok

[Sonicku]

lol take that DTM

TRD and JDm 4 ever!!

[lecodiniz]

This is what E36 M3 always do. When you need oversteer you must do it carefully, because she always will return too fast and spin...

[12344bam]

thats funny as fuck little man was pissed

[TriumphTR5]

How was that 'funny as fuck' you little retard? He crashed his pride and joy and probably injured himself too. Grow some balls get out on track, crash (which you would) and then tell me if you think it's funny. But I doubt you'd put as much effort in as the guy who actually went there to race, too comfortable behind your keyboard no doubt.

Prick.

[12344bam]

yeah thats what makes it funny

[MrRUDEEN]

@TriumphTR5 damn agreed agreed, wel put

[XxTabasc0xX]

@TriumphTR5 But see, he chose to bring his car to the track, so he would have had to think it was worth the possible crash, so if and when he does crash, he'd have to be willing to put up with criticisms. Now I dont find it funny that he crashed, I just felt the need to respond to this. And if whoever you're replying to did do this and crash, wouldn't you then find it 'funny as fuck'?

[matt91gee]

@TriumphTR5 VEREH FUNNY. DID HE DIED?

[j00h00st]

HAHA U GOT OWNED

[12344bam]

ur mom got owned last night hhahaha

[j00h00st]

she didnt!

[12344bam]

yeah she did and she got owned again to day

[siriussr]

there is another clip of this same corner of a civic type r smashing the sidewall too

[MuMznr17]

lol

[davervr6]

you gotta be awake to push it to the limit on the ring

[audinoob]

und der 190er benz schaft du kurve einfach

[fgfgh5h]

Der Fahrer kommt aus Velbert? Oder ist damit der Kamera-Mann gemeint?

[terralein1982]

Der Kameramann... Der Fahrer kommt aus dem Münsterland.

[chuckcluck1]

hello to you to bud

[punkypink83]

Forget all the analysis. During competitive driving, people often have to push at the limits, surely sometimes shit happens. Name me ANY one motor racing great who never had an accident...

Come on, are u all fighting for the "best motor sport crash analysis expert" title here or what?

[Alexgibbo5]

Agreed

[Vova993]

You don't have to crash to push the limits, you don't even have to spin to find the limits. Rick Mears is a good example, when he retires in '93 he ran Indianapolis for 15years, won 4 times, front row 11 times and only hit the wall twice due to mechanical failure (tire) not due to the lack of skill/control.

[alwcurlz]

He was lagging behind and was pushing the car too far. Gotta keep those tires on the track around the high right/right turns. Wicked crash though :/ Looked like it hurt.

[indigoblue555]

It can happen,but I see too many people drive fast with poor basics.A sport driving school

is suggested,and it is worth the money.

You'll be running faster and safer on tracks and in everyday's driving=

[rolinjet]

I can say... Wrong Reaction... the speed No was Enought to Get out of the way... He used the brake and voila, he losed the control...

[msyxtyx]

i think your playing to many games kid....these guy underestimated RWD Car and how the characteristics are....this is understeer...not ebrake...expecially...when this kind of sport and tuned on difference suspension tuning more of grip and stiffness...camber and toe is all adjusted so by doing that...changes the characteristics of the cars handleing...but quite playing those and accually drift behind the wheel for once...

[valo666meh]

just so you know its oversteer not understeer

[pucsicsal]

Late reaction/ too slow turning out of the initial counter steer... very common.. then he had too much countering before the grass/berm (he could have kept the second slide by going over it then quick steering once he hit asphalt again). It was just unfortunate, and this happens to everyone a few times, happened to me too in the mountains. Was very similar to this except I had more room and went in a little ditch with my driver side tires instead of head on.

[mybizuk]

Was he ok?

[chayakarnwat2]

lol he stupid

[djinnbladee]

bad tires

[myvidss]

it looks to me like the cars tires were not meant for that type of driving. let me explain. at around the 15-16 second mark of the vid,,just before the entire loss of control,,you can see the rear end breaking loose that causes the crash. leading me to believe that the tires broke loose and cause the dreaded oversteer condition.

[myvidss]

my mistake my original posting of the seconds is wrong. the crash begins to happens at the 17 second mark, this is where you see the rear end losing traction.

[Lev08e39M5]

Quit being such a tool! Oversteer is a condition that can be induced by a bad driver, not the car. This is an M3, Motorsports 3-series, doing exactly what it is supposed to do.

[Ae86loverkurt]

nah the body roll got him, as he turned and the car over steered the body rolled the other way in this case u cant do much

[Ziofbv]

:-( that poor creature...

[r56mini]

Lift oversteer .... sucks.

[Jager1988]

lift over steer FOR THE LOSE!

[jason0mayer]

gotta love the way some gameboy internerds feel they can offer pro drivers advice on lift off oversteer... you guys crack me up : )

[knockoutkid1]

Ahhh lift-off oversteer, caused me to crash too. Reckon he could have held it if had stayed on the throttle a little longer.

[crunk001]

warum hat der eingedreht??

[crazydb7]

When i went to the nurburgring (i live in Germany) on a holiday we were dissapointed to find that the day we got there a car racing club, with cars like stripped out M5's and 911 GT3's, had booked the day there. This was probaly something like that.

[ALCUS52]

Was this in an amateur competition race, like Britcar or a continental equivalent? Cos it looks like it. Or is it just a Nurburgring pay-per lap day thing..?

[epalakotalaga]

fool ur a fool drive m3 play need for speed most wanted plzzzz you will see

[CashewBoyLiam]

?

Need for Speed is a game.

[AlonsoLegend]

Need for Speed is a poor simulation of real driving. A fantastic game but not an accurate simulation.

[TonicEnergy]

LOL?? What? What does that have to do with anything, this is real.

[AlonsoLegend]

You're right, its nothing to do with it at all, somebody earlier mentioned how this would never happen on NFS or something looool :P He needs to get off his video games and find out what driving is like ;)

[TonicEnergy]

HAHA! lol, I appologize, I stand corrected =D ...NFS...oh my god...

[AlonsoLegend]

no problem I'd have said the same :P

[RalphRexMurphyBimbo]

he could of drifted that corner if ne dint cut the wheel to the left

[Blazerx88x]

ouch....

[hgfecba]

just clutch and keep the steering wheel calm ... nothing will haben ... steering left will kill you lol!

[TonicEnergy]

Yes, clutching (killing throttle) can help in given situations, but in this case he was going toooo fast, really nothing he could have done to prevent himself from going off track.

[hgfecba]

but it wouldnt have ended soooo extremly bad!

[juanmanuelguitar]

thats hurt. hope driver is ok.

[devantedude27]

daaaaaaaaamn

wat he try to drift lol

[jonas7473]

took it too fast

[kitosan1986]

The wall was firm than I expected.

[wooftydog]

My mate did exactly the same at the same place 2.15 on 13/5/07....in my merc..he's ok... anybody got video?

[jakehalo]

owned...

[skaterkid901]

Haha! I'm joking. I love M3s. Hope the driver was alright afterwards.

[davesideways]

One less M3 :(

[PanoramaS3S]

you got it.

[aosgang]

OMG

[ReneBMWM3Power]

ow shit...

[karlosjr]

Esses caras das bandeiras amarelas foram rápidos, einh!!! hehe...
