Default Nordschleife Touristenfahrten crashes

Dunno if this is a repost (apologies if so), but there seem to be a few S2000s in this vid:

The black S2000 in the end of 2011 video looked nasty too.

I know its wrong but that flip-flopping Mini was rather fun to watch

Edit:
No what am I saying it was a complete horror-fest, the sort of video that puts me off ever taking my precious to a track. Is it really that full of nutters?

It's a proper horror film - just needs someone to blow their VR6 and drop a load of oil - Yikes !

Most of those are Brünchen 2. What you don't see is there's a bump about the point where you'd want to turn in. I'd always wait for the bump, and then turn in, otherwise it'll unsettle the rear. But in a FWD car, as most of those were, you're going to lose the front.

I couldn't believe the Golf'ists who parked right in the firing line, and then stood by their car.

Is there any record of how many cars that corner has claimed, or better still the track as a whole?

Have a look at the 1970 videos. Real scary stuff, the number of cars that roll.

Unfortunately the Golf'ists are typical of the people who do not treat the circuit with the respect it deserves and do not read the rules. This is why I no longer drive the circuit on a weekend its just too full of drivers oblivious to the dangers.
Mid-week is quieter and thus far better,but you still need to be focused.

They were asking for someone to plough right into them!

The Porsche at the end of that vid took quite a hit :/
