Seemed a fairly innocuous left hander the one that got him - and I see that the biker raised his left arm to the Festa as he overtook on that right hand bend. Wonder what happened then and how the kid was - nasty accident that

dammmmm

Hope he was ok......

gutted, looks like an expensive crash

If you have trackday insurance it would cover it though no ?

Ouch!

presume so.

For those that know the track/corner its pretty high speed, mind you he would obviously paid for closing of track for however long, he managed to run along the grass verge not hitting any armco! Result.....

ran more like somersaulted (sp) hope the guy was ok that was a BIG accident

must have cost him a load! esp for the helicopter and closing the track etc + kept alot of people waiting.

has anyone on here been? how much in total does the trip cost? how much would track day insurance be? im starting looking into making the trip sometime next year (once we have good weather again!)

cheers

that video is exactly why i would never go round the ring in my own car! nasty accident

This guy stopped in our hotel whilst we was there. They closed the track for around 40 mins he was airlifted to hospital.

He had a passenger with him who believe it or not walked away with a bruise across his chest from the seatbelt and a few stitches to his face. The driver wasn't so lucky as he ended up in intensive care with a collapsed lung and internal bleedy.

They said it would cost him £1500 to get his car out of the compound which i beleive they wasnt going to bother doing considering the car was completely totalled.

Not heared anything since but last i heard he was stable and able to talk.

Hope the guys ok.

There is a part on the bend where he lost it that if you go too fast pushes your back end out slightly and the camber is against you, I think thats what happened to the guy. Also going to fast.

I'm going to assume you've not driven the Nordschleife. Schwedenkreuz is the one corner I actually fear.
