I think it's important to say that there have been 70 reported deaths in testing and racing at the 'Ring and an estimated 100 or more further deaths of motorists and bikers, the most recent some months back are two fatalities which were of two tyre testers working for a well known tyre manufacturer when their car lost control. Charoudin heard the crash from where he lives and has some words.

RIP to all those who have lost their lives.

RS4 has puncture on the front @ 7:14, doesn't look like a run-flat to me.

Watching the newbies getting it wrong with some wrecking before the 2024 'Ring policy of not filming crashes anymore came into force. R5 @ 0.55 is classic case of WOT too early.

Knight Rider car @11:11.

Fantastic action from the Nurb' 24 HR event when the fog didn't interrupt from all the classes in this quick vid but some say it was a total failure with just 7.5 hours of racing actually running.

Never heard of a Dallara Stradale (the first road car made by Dallara Automobili) and here it is walking over Porsches, so watch out Ferrari.

Buncha GT3s on the Rotterdam-Hull ferry last night. They had been at the Manthey Racing track day the day prior. The new RS is a hell of a machine. 😮

Looks like Misha was driving a Belarusian playet G82 and had a rollover after what appears to be brake failure.

Everyone walked away thank goodness.

This has to be one of my all-time favorite videos. Robert Kubica with Misha taming the Nurburgring a few years ago in an M4.

They should invite Robert K back to try a GT3 RS, that would scare the living daylights out of Misha for a change

Shame they can't show the vid and report on that M4 flip because of this new rule.

I’m more interested in the car, the mods and who did the work.

Nürburgring management has always been anti-crash video. Pretty sure he can show everything up until the initial impact though.

It’s interesting that he posted:

Went for a lap in a G82 M4 built/set up by a respectable Nürburgring shop, so it wasn't some sh*tbox

I wonder if an aftermarket caliper failed or was installed incorrectly? Or was it just a fluke?

I think we'll never know and Misha could make up what he wants about it or just not post a vid with that in it, the 'Ring makes tons of money from the public and race teams and don't want any more blots on their record if they can keep it off.
----------
Some more close calls from a few months back,in this one with bikers being at big risk from what can only be described as 'nutter' car drivers @2:33

Out with the touch up paint.

Or he just drove too fast. Most crashes on the Ring during TF are human error.

We'll see... rear facing camera and Racetracker photographer show smoking from one of the wheel wells just before he claims the brakes gave out.

The guy has done enough laps there that he's not just gonna go full on into a wall without braking.
