03:25 -04:00. The crash at four minutes is really quite heavy, although both occupants get out straightway. Neither appear to be UK registered cars.

Barely even a bend on most game renderings of the Nordschleife...

Yikes,I watched it and as he was going in backwards I thought,bye bye hatch,was quite a heavy impact.Lots of driving too quick for the conditions I thought.Puts you off going to the ring with so little to no run off !

Forza has a lot to answer for. Out of all of the Nordschleife videos I have watches I dont think that Id ever seen a 944 come off before; then there are two together.

which bend was that - didn't recognise it from that angle

was it Eiskurve? if so, then one of the trickier corners

I am interested in knowing if anyone can identify the corner that both the 944's went off on as well.

Interesting that both of them lost it in exactly the same way and hit almost exactly the same bit of armco.

I also wonder how many times the Nurburgring get to charge different people for the same bit of armco before they actually change it, or how badly it needs to be damaged before they charge you.

Whats the latest with the Nurburgring anyway? Not heard much of the "save the ring" stuff in the last couple of months.

My guess is that it is Schwedenkreuz, the last left before Aremberg. The downfall of many a young Jack.

I suspect that Eds guess is far more accurate than mine. Ive just looked again and I can now see that the cars are heading uphill.

The only thing that I can't see is the rumble strip that you run over on the exit of Eiskurve - maybe it's a bit further up the hill? Very hard corner, people turn in too early I think

Only just got around to watching this, most of the crashes are taken filmed from the same spot, inc the 2 x 944's IMHO, John is correct and it's just after schewdenkreuz (spelling ?) on the run to Aremberg, before you head down the foxhole.

This would explain why the cars are going so fast and have so much momentum as they swing through the left hander before oversteering off ! It's very easy to unsettle the car as you come over the crest at SchX and then the car is unsettled.

I think you are probably right - although it does look like the cars are going uphill

I know you can spectate at the spot after SX - here's a vid taken from just a bit close to the bend.

Definitely a corner to have something in reserve....and some throttle on to keep the back end planted

I've seen a 944 fall off the ring a couple of times. Mind you, I was driving

you can see from the second of those spins - I was probably only doing about 40. It is very very slippery there when its wet..

Really shows why it needs to be treated with respect.
