Audi RS7 Driver Won't Stop Trying to Drift in Nurburgring Traffic

This isn't the first time we remind you that drifting is forbidden during Nurburgring Touristenfahrten (Tourist Days) sessions. However, this is also yet another occasion to mention a driver who chooses to ignore the rules in his search for sideways thrills. However, this guy happens to be inside an Audi RS7, which means that drifting doesn't exactly come easy.

Nevertheless, the man keeps pushing the RS7 sideways lap after lap, as recorded by a Ring spotter stationed at the Brunnchen corner. Interestingly, we're talking about one of the trickiest corners of the famous German track.

Over the years, Brunnchen has seen plenty of crashes taking place both in dry and wet conditions. Then again, with the driver appearing to be familiar with the configuration of the bend and the low-grip play being relatively easy to sustain with all that power coming from the car's twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8, it's no wonder that the driver wasn't afraid to hoon the vehicle.

And while the water on the track did help with breaking traction, the machine stayed true to the Audi badge (the R8 doesn't count), so we can only talk about powerslides.

Oh well, at least nobody could give this guy a ban for drifting on the Green Hell. And the driver is well aware of this, which is probably why he keeps trying his hand at sliding the 560 hp animal. Heck, not even the traffic on the Green Hell manages to separate this steering wheel wielder from his slip angle desires.

There's one thing we couldn't figure out, though and that's the man's need to countersteer. Then again, we're not here to play the role of a drifting competition judge, which is why we're inviting you to head to over to the "play" button below and enjoy the Nordschleife action.
