When it comes to the Nurburgring, luck is an extremely relative notion - given the ever-changing weather and the usually-crowded traffic, switching between luck and lack thereof can be done in an instant.
Even so, there are drivers who managed to avoid drawing the short straw and we're here to give you a compilation showing such events. Dubbed "Top 10 Luckiest Drivers of the Nürburgring - Nordschleife Near Crash Compilation 2016" the mashup we have here offers exactly what it promises.

However, given the mention we made in the intro, we prefer to make our own luck when attending track days and we have plenty of 2016 Green Hell examples to illustrate why we have such beliefs.

For instance, turning to the chaos of chance might mean you'll end up like this first-gen Audi R8 driver, who might've made it seem like he spectacularly escaped a crash, but that was far from the truth.

And while the example above could actually be considered a bad luck one, here's classic sample of a lucky second generation Audi R8 V10 Plus Nurburgring moment, one that took place over the past weekend's soaking wet Touristenfahrten (Tourist Days) events.

Finally, to give you the promised self-forged Nurburgring lap example, we'll mention the BMW driver who some might mistake for a lucky man. Instead, the guy pulled a reverse gear save and, if you zoom in on his Bimmer's movement, you'll figure out such saving stunts only come after tons and tons of practice and, just as important, paying attention at all times - the Ring is no place for rest and relaxation.

Since there are always exceptions to the relaxation point we made above, we'll also show you one of these cases, whic has to do with a character called Boosted Boris and involves a mix between a bycile and... Koenigsegg wine.
