Just when we thought pinball had lost all its glory, the driver of a Volkswagen Golf IV is here to show us the game is well alive. In the process, the guy tears apart his Vee Dub, showing the poorest driving skills we’ve seen this year.
Sure, the Green Hell can catch many drivers out, especially when elevation changes and questionable grip come into play. Oh, and the high-speed corners that require you to know the layout of the track in order to fly through them without crashing can be a bit too much at times.
Nevertheless, our guy doesn’t have to deal with any of the traps mentioned above. Instead, a simple turn is enough to bring this driver into the desperation area and cause him to ruin his car, risking his health in the process.
Understeer? What kind of trickery is that?
When you learn the meaning of the word “understeer” while lapping the Nurburgring, you know things are going to end up badly. We couldn’t find any other explanation for a driver who senses the car going wide and applies more steering angle, while mashing the throttle.
The usual slow reactions we normally see in Nurburgring crash videos seem like performance driving moments compared to what this guy does behind the wheel.
As usual, the Nordschleife doesn’t spare anybody, with the Golf being heavily burned by the flames of the Green Hell. Heck, the car even gets some air time during its first contact with the protection element on the side of the track.
This driver shouldn’t just be asked to pay the damage done to the crash barriers, he should be made to install them. That kind of time spent on the ‘Ring might teach him to treat the track episodes with a bit more respect.
In his quest to bring you the most impressive automotive creations, Andrei relies on learning as a superpower.
