Huge crash on racetrack in Germany sends hatchback airborne

Footage captured on dashcam video shows the exact moment an amateur driver hits a guardrail, which then propels his car skywards before tumbling to a halt.

The accident happened on amateur day at the Nurburgring in Germany on Sunday, where drivers can pay a fee to ride the world-class circuit.

Luckily for this paying costumer, after crashing at nearly 190 kmh, he can be seen exiting the wreckage, and reportedly walked away relatively unscathed, according to New Zealand blog stuff.

The Renault Megane, as seen below, did not fare as well.

The original post shared on Facebook says the driver is well considering the circumstances.

Here’s another angle of this spectacular crash.

Let’s hope the driver is just as lucky when they have to deal with this insurance headache.
