Just in.
Here is some footage of the aftermath of the M4 crash with Misha and Anton who owns the car. They were both extremely lucky to walk away, owing to the strength of the full M BMW, seing the wreck of the M4 caused by a frozen brake pedal which after hitting the armco launched it upwards.

I was there when the accident happened, the track was closed for 90 minutes while repairs were made. When the track reopened, they were still repairing the barrier, that section was under yellows. Why people still let him drive their cars is beyond me. He had 8-10 crashes last season alone, that puts his crash rate between every 50 and 75 laps. Would you let someone drive your car if he had a 1 in 50 chance of crashing it? It's also very telling that he needs a gofundme to fix the car. He has no insurance and cannot afford to fix it himself. I hope poeple dont contribute to the gofundme, they are enabling this sort of behavior.

There is a big thread on the Nurburgrng Life facebook group where people far more experienced than me explain what he did wrong (including a guy that calibrates abs systems for a living)

On that note, last NLS race he missed a yellow flag/code 60. Endresult: 1 rear ended Aston Martin and license suspended for the following race To be honest, I'm not a real Misha hater or something. Just liked his content better a few years ago. And I disagree with the opinion that he is a very talented driver. I think he has some skill, but nothing exceptional. |

I think Misha throws caution to the winds at times but that's his agenda ? to get the maximum out of any car he tests and that carries risk. Observe the main signs at any motor race circuit (in GB anyway) which warns motor racing is dangerous.

I dont keep track of his crashes, but he crashed the 330i at the following race too. I was given the figure by a local. There are so many people backing Misha up online, most have never been within 1000km of the nurburgring, their only exposure to the place is through his videos. The locals are genuinly scared that he'll crash into them some day. To steer this thread away from Misha bashing, here's a video of a 3 lap stint I did at a trackday on Friday. The car is brand new to me, it was my first time out in it since some big changes were made to it. I wasnt pushing hard, didnt use any kerbs etc. I am still playing with tyre pressures.

First thoughts are you are a fast safe driver compared to Misha who with his accident record shows he tries too hard at times and has already admitted he came close to ending his life on one occasion, it's in his blood to drive on the edge living and working at the 'Ring. |

Big rear wings are not just for show at the track and proven by Misha in a lightened and modified M2 to give more RWD traction sure-footedness with much quicker lap times.
Naturally the rear wing needs to be balanced with a front splitter and appropriate suspension set up to get the maximum out of the car. |

Might as well put on more about this special GT3 Motorsport spec wing which has been TUV approved (!) and street legal in GB. It's available with a strengthening brace underneath the boot and can be sat on.
DRS system available too apparently. |

New safety system is in operation as of today. 100 camera's and new installed LED-panels around the whole track. They show yellow warning signs in case of collissions or danger zones. This is a big step in safety for TF and trackday's.

Hopefully the Brits know what the yellow flashy things mean…. And actually follow them.

He obviously had little to no track experience (his lines, driving with ESP on). He was pushing on his first lap He went into the corner too fast, lifted off and got lift-off oversteer.

As you say an inexperienced punter who foolishly went to the 'Ring aiming to sell the car after (why did he buy it in the first place) without even taking any form of track performance courses and with a pocket rocket like that you need lightning quick steering reaction corrections.
