Try Not To Clench As This Porsche 911 GT3 Driver Struggles To Avoid Going Off At The 'Ring
In one of those accidents that seems to take a long time to happen, this 997 GT3 driver was seen desperately trying to stay on the Tarmac at the Nordschleife on Saturday.
He’s clearly in trouble the moment the 911 enters the frame, clipping the grass either side of the track soon after before spinning into the gravel. Fortunately the Porsche stops short of the Armco barrier, but that trip over one of the ‘Ring’s infamous kerbs looks to have obliterated the car’s front splitter.
Skidding into the kitty litter won’t have done wonders for the surviving lower bodywork either, and we really wouldn’t want to be the person who has the job of removing all that gravel which will have worked its way into every little nook and cranny of the poor GT3…
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.
