Winkelhock crashes MINI on Nordschleife 8 times rolling by

[rogo2484]

mini = destroyed!!!

[DunnybrusherPartTwo]

Despite the nature of the crash, the driver suffered only Mini injuries

[erasetoimprove]

this must be an old race, didn't he die in 1985 or something?

[dtmfan]

@erasetoimprove The Winkelhocks are a whole family who is into motorsports. Manfred Winkelhock died 1985 - right.

But he also has 2 brothers, Joachim and Thomas Winkelhock. Both of them were popular in touring cars, but both retired a couple of years ago.. Manfred also has a son, Markus Winkelhock, who is racing touring/sports cars right now. In 2011 he is driving at the GT1 world championship.

In this clip, you can see Thomas Winkelhock, wrecking his ride in one of his last races in 2006.

@dtmfan thanks very much for clearing that up in a calm collective and educated manner, instead of the usual trolling non-sense we see on youtube.

Man wird an der Stelle mit einem Mini - egal welche Motorisierung - nie... NIE 210 fahren! Ich fahre da 170 und mein Wagen gebt praktisch ab. Ich schwebe nurnoch durch die Kurve und ein Mini ist nicht unbedingt mit mehr Anpressdruck ausgestattet als ein Mercedes Benz 190E mit Heckspoiler. Aber man belehre mich, wenn nötig :)

[davidcarterwigan]

I think it's Thomas Winkelhock

Nice soft rolls though, as soft as one can be I guess. I always look to see if they keep their arms and head inside the car, I didn't notice if they use window nets, I'd imagine so. The door poppin open at the end does not inspire confidence though, they should be bolted shut if you ask me, obviously no one did ;O). I've been knocked out twice in a race car, one time I ended up hanging my head and arm out the window, I ran nets afterwards. Racers never think it'll happen to them. race safe guys.

[mdgeist012002]

yup

[zachary1215]

Wind 'em up and let 'em go!

car was not hit on the driver side or the roof, driver could exit it alone and was not hurt at all

[pvtdangles]

look how safe that car was..

how could a car made by the best car manufacturer in the world be shit..they kick ass

[madmamo]

The best car manufacturer actually is Toyota :)

The driver is alive just because that's not a road going Mini: have you ever heard the word "rollcage"?

[Dooooney]

also just because the car looks ok dont mean the person inside dint cop some of the forces, minis are made by BMW BMWs are heavy and they ruined the mini id rather die in an old one then sat in one of them buzz boxes

[alex0695]

[tonkaby]

Toyotas are japanamerican crap:)

[madmamo]

In what sense are american!? And..crap..well... check out JD Power statistics :)

[piggy501]

Fortunatley,it wasn't an original mini. The new minis are more like bigs in comparison.

[andr85]

My God, the minis suck so much, they're so ugly

[kingaustin24]

Talk about a ride! 5/5 for sticking the landing :)

[zytekfan]

which Winkelhock? There's like 3 of them...

[jgow2006]

its Tomas Winkelhock... lol, there r heaps! 1 is dead tho, the greatest, Joachim...

[tommy9927]

Wrong, Manfred died in the 1985 World Sportscar Championship race at Mosport - only 3 weeks before Stefan Bellof had his fatal accident at Spa.

A really black summer for Germany back then - and Rolf Stommelen died only 2 years before that. All the greatest talents...

[jgow2006]

ha! yeah, I did mean that, got confused! should have done a wiki b4 comment!

[btk64]

maybe you got confused with Joachim Stuck with a Hans before the Joachim .He is still alive...very nice and funny person.

[sanandreas69]

[AleXcr86]

Crikey, I'm pretty sure that's exactly the spot where Niki Lauda crashed in '76.

[KenboD67]

No, Lauda crashed on the left hander just before Bergwerk.This crash is at Schwedenkreuz.
