A solid code-brown save from the Nurburgring.

Boy howdy!

How in the green hell...

Looks like he zigged when he should have.

Wow. I thought the car hit the quarter on the pavement and bounced back up until I saw it in slow-mo.

I hope they bought a lottery ticket after that.

I'd rather be lucky than good.

dang.  he/she actually dragged their mirror it looked like.  amazing.

Nice sticker on the barrier in the bottom of the clip.

I wonder if the mirror or turning the wheel saved it... 'cause it seemed to bounce back pretty quick

also, BtG has an alternate view

supposedly an in-car is maybe coming?

Indeed. 

Wow! I think he used The Force, because that looked like magic. 

reminds me of one of my favorites - the double mirror drag:

I did that once at an Autox in the Mini with slicks. I was trying to really throw the car around to see if that was faster (there was a guy in a FSP BMW that drove violently and he was fast) and they had a sharp turn just before the finish line that resulted in my being on two wheels. I remember looking out my window and seeing nothing but concrete, I instinctively jerked the wheel to the left and the car came back down on all fours. Didn't take out any cones or the timing equipment. Luckily based on the course layout only a few people seemed to have noticed it. I went back to trying to have smooth inputs after that.

I never would've guessed that you could bring a car back onto all fours after going airborne and landing it very much on its side, but there you have it...

Also, there's a good chance that anyone driving a bargain-bin Kei car on the Nurburgring at 11/10ths is already a user on here

In reply to Old_Town :

Good eye! I missed that the 1st play through. 

I'm pretty sure a hard left crank on the wheel is what saved the day, though I'm still surprised it worked at that angle. 

Physics is for losers. That was great.

Looks like Playstation 1 physics.  Awesome.
