Honda Civic Type R Rolls After Clipping Kerb At The Nurburgring

Lift-off oversteer and the Nordschleife’s notoriously high kerbs proved to be an expensive combination for this EP3 Honda Civic Type R driver.

During a touristenfahrten session on Saturday, the Type R was seen flipping onto its roof after the car hit a kerb at just the wrong angle. The recovery effort that followed is arguably the most painful bit to watch - we get that the car was probably a goner either way, but it still makes us cringe seeing its lifeless form dragged around the tarmac.

The silver lining is that uploader claims the driver and passenger “did not get any major injuries.”

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.

Whats the deal with blurring the Reg and the dudes? Made it appear like they joyriding someonelses car? 😅

Apparently, the “R” stands for roll.

When the V-TEC kicks in at the wrong place, steamroll yo!

Silly honda

first thing I saw when I arrived on Nordschleife was this. Went to entrance bought my tickets track closed. Drove down to Brünnchen there the car was turned upside down. Took a few minutes then rain arrived. But luckily this is Eifel so 20 minutes after rain the sun was shining again.
