NASCAR Racer Crashes on Nurburgring in Mechanical Failure Horror

First of all, allow us to remind you that the circuit machine we have here is actually Howe Racing V8 Late-Model Stock Car.

The crash took place in the Ex-Muhle section and the explanations seem to be different from what we found out last time. To be more precise, Dale Lomas, the Nurburgring settler who brought the machine to the circuit, explains that he wasn't behind the wheel at the moment of the crash.

More importantly, while Dale had mentioned a flat tire as the cause of the crash, this time around he shows us images of a broken steering link. As such, we are being told that the driver failed to steer the thing into the bend due to the said mechanical failure.

Of course, with the racecar lacking any form of braking assistance (no ABS here), aficionado wondered if the driver locked the brakes while entering the said bend, thus running wide and crashing.

However, Dale addressed this in the comments section of the YouTube video: "Well, because you're not really braking into Ex-Muhle, and the whole wheel snapped left as he steered right, and as the steering link broke, I'd go with... no chance he locked up on the brakes,"ÿ

And while it's not impossible for an impact like the one seen here to be caused by other factors and lead to the breaking of the steering link, we'll have to go with the flow and accept this version (our doubts come from the lack of in-car crash footage).

While the entire video is worth of your attention (how often do you get to see such car-track mix?), those of you who are in a hurry can jump to the 10:57 point of the clip for the accident.
