Nurburgring Oil Spill Causes Hot Hatch Crash Mayhem, Megane RS Hits the Barrier

The action we're dealing with shows just how much harm an oil or coolant spill can cause on the Green Hell, with the footage coming from Ring Wolf xthilox.

Those of you who aren't familiar with this Nurburgring fauna term should know that Ring Wolfs are drivers who could easily draw a map of each and every corner of the Ring, while knowing their cars, usually tuned front-wheel-drive hot hatches, just as well.

These people normally enjoy driving around in a pack (no surprise here), hunting supercar guys that aren't as quick on the Nordschleife.

But even this mix of overly experienced drivers and cars that are easy to handle at speed can't cope with fluid spills, as demonstrated by the piece of footage at the bottom of the page.

The clip shows a four-car pack, consisting of two Renault Megane RS units and the SEAT Leon Cupras, flying on the track as if they had started a war against stopwatches.

As the two Meganes leading the group go round a corner, the fluid on the asphalt makes both drivers lose the rear end. Alas, another Renault, this time a Clio RS, had come across the issue and was driving slowly, trying to exit the said bend.

The guy behind the wheel of the Yellow Megane RS suddenly had to skid his way past the Clio and tried to squeeze in between the Renault and the protection element on the side of the track.

Unfortunately, the tight gap and the entry manner meant an impact with the barrier just couldn't be avoided. The only good side of the tale is that the crash didn't lead to any serious damage.

This was confirmed by the YouTuber mentioned above, who explained that the spicy company has already been fixed, while also sharing a thought that can easily generate unrest.

"This is the reason why i would never go by bike on the Ring during Touristenfahrten .. i am lucky that i never had a crash .. but as you can see..a coolant or oil spill can catch you behind every corner,"
