Nurburgring save of the century by this Daihatsu driver on open day

We’ve posted many crash videos on this site. Whether we like it or not, people love watching cars crash. Recently we shared this Porsche GT3 getting it completely wrong at the famous Nurburgring Nordschleife.

But it’s not too often we see someone almost crash. This lucky person was millimetres away from complete disaster at a recent Nurburgring open day.

The Daihatsu hatchback carried too much speed into the Brunnchen section of track. Riding the kerbs the car was pitched onto two wheels and then… well, see for yourself below.

Thanks to another fixed camera there is a rear view here and a spectator caught this side-on action as well.
