Have you ever wondered what it would be like to drive a rear engine race car around the Nürburgring on around half a foot of snow? This guy did.

Here’s Andy Gülden, Chief Instructor at the Nürburgring Driving Academy, as he drives a Nürburgring Formula Race Car along the icy and snowy Nürburgring Nordschleife and Grand Prix track in -16C temperatures. It looks like we’ve just found the best motor sport ever.

The cold weather that is gripping Europe at the moment is causing havoc for many small towns and villages, apart from the sleepy village of Nürberg that is. When around half a foot of snow fell on the ‘Ring, the lads thought it would be a good idea to take out one of their Nürburgring Formula Race Cars from some old fashion hoonage.

We have to say, it was definitely a good idea.

The video is six minutes long but if like race cars, the Nürburgring, drifting and/or snow, then you won’t be disappointed.
