BMW 2 Series Nurburgring Near Crash Is Why Drifting Is Forbidden

And with the Ring public sessions already involving plenty of crashes, it's obvious why getting the tail out is verboten. After all, having a spinning car next to you is the last thing you want when you're tackling what is probably the world's most challenging racetrack.

Of course, telling the occasion skid apart form an intentional slide is pretty difficult, which is why some drivers get away with this sort of shenanigans.

However, there are also steering wheel wielders who make fools out of themselves by trying to drift on the Nordschleife and failing. And a fresh example of this comes from the public session held yesterday.

The adventure saw multiple drivers convincing their machines to deliver slip angles, but one of them stood out, since the man spun all over the track.

The failed drifting attempt took place in Brunnchen 2, a corner that can prove rather tricky to those who aren't aware of the Ring's layout - the presence of the gravel trap on the exit of the bend only comes to confirm the trouble.

We can see the man, who was behind the wheel of a BMW 2 Series Coupe, slowing down for the corner entry, positioning the vehicle for the slide - note that the track was wet yesterday.

However, the guy behind the wheel fed the car a lot of throttle, with this violently initiating the tail-out moment. Despite the man's countersteering efforts, the car wouldn't come back in line.

Once the problem became obvious, the driver chose to step on the brakes, which amplified the spin and caused the Bimmer to stop in the middle of the track, facing the cars coming the other way.

As if that hadn't been enough, the hooner kept sliding once he turned the car, doing so in the proximity of other vehicles.

P.S.: You can find the failed drift at the 0:50 point of the clip below, as well as some successful ones, which await you at 2:30, 4:30 or 5:26.
