Hahahahaha! Just turn off the video and play the fateful seconds: the hydroplane, the crunch, the engine winding down… the explitives… priceless.

Anyone else notice that it’s an e30 3 series? He lifted mid corner in the rain – not a good idea.

I usually take the snacks off the dash when driving a course too dangerous for F1

It looks like another typical case of “overconfident 3 series driver on a track syndrome”. It is spreading fast and should be stopped by us MINI drivers :)

Kudos to him for posting the video and answering some of the questions in the comments section.

Thanks for the 4:30 AM laugh.

Here’s an idea. Put the camera down and drive.

The Snickers on the dash was priceless.

It is funny, but you know, if you’ve driven the Ring in the wet, you’ll appreciate how slippery it can be.

It looks like he joined the circuit at Adenau, that uphill tight right is tricky.

I try not to laugh because I could be the one in the armco next time out, but I thought it was hilarious.

Credit for posting the vid.

At least we didn’t get treated to sight of the pants turning a darker shade of blue.

Poor guy. I feel for him.

Honestly, I do.

The passenger had the camera. It’s a RHD car.
