No Nurburgring accident is something that can be taken lightly and yet some of these crashes are more special than others. Well, we're here to show you a Green Hell accident that you don't get to see that often, at least not from this perspective.
The crash itself involves an E36 BMW 3 Series Coupe getting seriously damaged. However, given the fact that we've shown you a similar episode earlier today, this shouldn't be such an important matter.

Nevertheless, as we mentioned above, it's all about the perspective - the accident is filmed from inside a BMW M2 that happened to be in the midst of a flying lap at the time.

We can see the M2 chasing a McLaren 650S and, as it often happens with such rivalries, the battle only led to progress. To be more precise, the M2 managed to lap the Ring in 7:47.

Those of you familiar with the times for the infamous German track know that the said lap sits well below the M2's official 7:58 time and that's because this Bimmer has been gifted with a few track mods.

The lesson to be learned here, as there's one in nearly any Ring video we bring you, comes from the moment when the M2 driver "yanks" the steering wheel to shake off any debris that might've stuck to the wheels following the car going through the crash site.

Nevertheless, before inviting you to hit the "play" button below, there's one more thing we need to mention. It all has to do with Nordschleife battles - when the drivers engaged in such episodes don't follow basic track driving rules, such as knowing their corners before attacking, the Nurburgring's complicated nature can easily lead to a serious crash, as the driver of a Mk II Ford Focus RS recently found out.
