This Guy Was Almost Wiped Out By A Car Sliding On Oil At The 'Ring
An oil spill at the Nurburgring caused chaos at the weekend, with numerous drivers ignoring yellows and spinning off as a consequence, one narrowly missing a pedestrian trying to warn others of the slick
It should go without saying that standing on a live race track - even if your intentions are good - is a massive no-no. Fortunately, the man trying to warn touristenfahrten participants about the oil spill managed to escape from the incoming E46 BMW in the nick of time.
However, that’s not the only unfortunate aspect to this video: despite flashing yellow lights and the guy filming waving his own yellow flag (no marshals are present during tourist sessions), numerous drivers failed to slow down, many spinning off and crashing as a result.
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.

RIP E46.
At 1:04 that e46 got that angle kit
Must have felt like:
to be honest tho… all the crashes were the drivers faults (except the ford and the e30). the staff doesn’t use yellow flags just to look cool.
It’s not staff, there are no marshalls during tourist driving sessions. I was the only one waving yellow flag, and I am just a spectator with a camera.
If your BMW is not a UK spec Isetta, than having 3 wheels is terrible
Hey how about that? Enlist it wasn’t a mustang this time!
Just….please.
The M3 was hungry like a Mustang.
It was an oil spill. Stop bringing that joke into everything.
Thankfully it wasn’t a Mustang
and who pays for the damage?
The yellow flag is in the wrong place actually… the yellow flag should be BEFORE the dangerous zone. Its highly likely that by the time the drivers saw the yellow flag it was already too late.
