These three drivers were lucky not to collide with each other out on the Nurburgring recently and even officials at the track said it was “milliseconds of luck”.

The Nurburgring is known for a lot of things including fast cars and big crashes. However, a seriously close call involving three cars was the talk of the track recently. Skip to the 0:42 mark to see the near miss…

The driver of the red and white Civic overshoots the corner coming on to hill and after coming off the gravel he over compensates sending the car into an uncontrollable spin.

However, thanks to some seriously quick reactions from the two Porsche drivers none of the cars come into contact with each other. It really was a matter of milliseconds and a whole boatload of luck.
