The educational Nurburgring crashes we keep bringing to your attention tend to have a two-way effect: these will either motivate aficionados to step up their performance game and visit the Nordschleife, or determine them to stay away from the Green Hell. Well, a similar effect can be achieved without any impact being involved.

Oh, and you shouldn't expect the SEAT Leon Cupra predator to have enjoyed a smooth ride while following the track-savvy Zuffenhausen beast. For instance, if you jump to the 4:44 point of the second clip below, you'll notice a Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport that seemed to be aiming for a piece of the Porsche-chasing action and was ready to do just about anything to hit its target.
