Try Not To Wince As A Corvette Z06 Head-Butts Some Nurburgring Armco
This week we watched slack-jawed as a little Daihatsu somehow avoided a painful roll-over crash, but today we’re looking at a significantly less heroic Nordschleife video.
In it, a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 driver is too greedy with the throttle at just the wrong point, pitching the car into a spin. ‘Vette, meet Armco, Armco, meet ‘Vette.
It’s a classic mistake that we’ve seen plenty of times before. What’s more egregious though is the events immediately after: both the driver and the passenger slowly emerge from the car, with the latter seemingly more interested in checking her phone that getting to safety.
The footage then cuts to the pair both engrossed in their mobiles, casually leaning against the dangerous side of the barrier. And we all know why this is an extremely bad idea…
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.

Ok
That corner catches a lot of people
Being slightly off camber unsettles the car, and with a hint of RWD throttle, spins it out.
Can confirm. Assetto Corsa is one realistic game.
well, if you have a bad car or poor driving skills the Nurburgring will find them and show them off to the world.
This is a case of poor driving, not bad car.
I bet the first thing she did was go to facebook and post a selfie with wrecked Corvette in a backround.
Alright. So slow news day?
They were probably looking at DT in their phone
Why drive a car thats too powerful for you
That was PERFECT timing!
Woah.
FBI: brah, even we ain’t that good
I really don’t get how people keep standing on the track after a crash. Shes getting out the car, typing on her phone, on the middle of the Nordschleife, on a busy track day, after a tricky corner. And after that they lean on the guardrail in which they crashed just one minute ago. Don’t they see how stupid that is?
The brain that operated leaning on the guardrail is the same brain that crashed the Z06 in the first place.
Perfect example of everything in pockets and nothing inside the head.
