I saw that yesterday. Muppets. From driving my previous E30s I know they can be a handful in the wet, but then you'd think taking an M3 onto the 'ring they'd be a little more prepared!

Even I have managed a couple of laps behind the wheel Zero, don't worry - too much!
I was far more concerned for the laps where I was in the passenger seat!

I thought the first rule of track driving was "Engage brain before first gear"
Another interesting one, checkout what happens at about 2½ minutes...

Shame for the biker
Not sure what quite happened to be honest, but looks like there is something on the track that has been covered in sand, so maybe the biker hit some oil that was missed??!!!?

But, neither driver stopped for him...or is that not allowed at The Ring?

The 350 guy was trying very hard. I wonder what insurance he had ?
Unforgivable not to stop for the biker IMO, even if the rider is fine. Flagging traffic and calling it in to the office is vital as the ring is not marshalled.

3 cars drove past the biker, bang out of order IMO.
Watching these two ring clips now I'm VERY nervous about doing it in April.

If you type in Nurburgring crash into the youtube search it brings up quite a few clips!
