Renault Clio RS Crashes Hard And Rolls Over At The 'Ring

A Clio RS200 driver's touristenfahrten session went badly wrong at the weekend, with an off-track excursion at Schwedenkreuz leading to a destructive rollover crash

If we see something about a Renault crashing at the Nurburgring, we normally assume it’s to do with a Megane RS. There have been some sickening high-profile crashes involving examples of Renault’s third-generation hot Megane, but this time around, the touristenfahrten destruction involves the car’s little brother: the Clio RS200.

In this dramatic footage, the Clio enters the frame sideways at the tricky Schwedenkreuz section of the Nordschleife, before tearing across the grass. The car then slams into the barrier on the opposite side of the track, rolling over twice(ish) and clattering back onto the tarmac wheels down first.

Thankfully, it looks like the driver and passenger are up and walking around shortly after the crash, hopefully having avoided serious injury.

Apart from a new car, the drivers need a new pair of pants.

The driver has a broken finger and
had a surgery on his left arm. He had glass and mud in his arm

This looks so painful that I don’t want to make any jokes :(
I hope the driver is ok now and I hope he had trackday insurance to cover at least some of the costs

He is okay, which is the most important thing.

Not a good reaction, when you are loosing a car in the grass you have to be hyper smooth correcting the car.

Thanks good car safety

Maybe a bit hard on the brakes there. Good to see most of the other cars stop to check on them. Could have been a lot worse.
