This Audi S3 Nurburgring Crash Is Utterly Brutal
A first-gen S3 driver dropped the rear during a touristenfahrten session last weekend, resulting in a painful Armco hit
Given that the S3’s all-wheel drive system heavily favours the front wheels, this could be a case of lift-off oversteer. Whatever the cause, the outcome is a painful one - the S3 is seen pitching into a section of Armco with violent force.
According to the uploader, neither the driver nor passenger were injured.
Hat tip to Christian!

When the two left the car, this was the conversation:
That golf brake so hard
No just look at the front wheels they were rotating normally, my guess is the brakes are just not well balanced, I had a Golf mk2 and it has a device (forgot its name) that limits the brake fluid pressure going to back wheels depending on the rear suspension highs (how full and heavy the boot is).
So i think he didn’t readjust the device after lowering the car (making it think the car is low because it’s rear is under a heavy load) thus the high brake pressure and locking the wheels.
This is the device I’m talking about:

ABSlessness is a really bad thing.

Two random guys with yellow flags warning other drivers.
For as much as they charge, the Nürburgring AG (is that what they’re called?) could at least hire a few marshals for the tourist-sessions.
