This Audi R8 Driver Probably Needed Fresh Underwear After This Nurburgring Slide
While the R8's Quattro all-wheel system does give amazing grip in the wet, there is still a limit to what it can do in soaking conditions like these...
We’ve been lucky enough to spend quite a bit of time with Audi’s new R8 this year, and while we’ve been impressed with the ridiculous amounts of grip on offer whatever the conditions, there is a limit to what you can get away with in the wet. Particularly if you’re driving on a sopping wet Nordschleife like this guy.
Fortunately, after a slide and a violent snap he’s still just about on the tarmac, avoiding what would have been one of the most expensive touristenfahrten crashes we’ve seen this year. As for the state of his underpants, we can only speculate…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Knew that was coming
I r8 that slide 8/8 m8 because EUROBEAT is lyfe
Obvious meme is obvious.
Saw it coming from the cover alone.
Who is that guy? and what show is it?
I’m speculating: Totally written off.
Traction control saved him big time.
Yep cause you don’t overcome this by braking that’s for sure
Probabpy CT was wrong. Probably this guy was behind the audi R8
Doesn’t the R8 have a rear bias AWD?
It does but it can send more torque to the front wheels if needed
86% at the rear
New pants for me mum!
ESP saved situation
Another bad pokemon joke
Unless he’s The Ben Collins…
