The Nürburgring’s Nordschleife circuit is often regarded as the ultimate racetrack, but all too often amateur racers leave with a sour taste in their mouths… like this guy.

Thankfully, no one was injured in the horrific looking incident. The driver of the Golf GTI was taken to hospital following the crash, but was found to be okay. It just goes to show that even though you’re driving a top class car on a top class circuit, you won’t magically receive top class driving skills. As well as paying for his battered GTI the driver will also have to foot the bill for all those broken Armco barriers (not to mention all the added extras that come with crashing on the Nordschleife). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml8B6_FNs64 At least he’s still alive… Via Jalopnik
