Some guy in a Vauxhall Astra VXR Nürburgring Edition went to the notorious Nordschleife to try to live up to the name on the side of his car and made a booboo. Hey, no sweat, these things happen all the time.
People get a little antsy in the pantsy, lose their concentration, and wreck their car. The real point of interest here is the potential costs involved (other than that of a damaged car and pride).
Thanks to folks from 'Nurburgring.co.uk', we have a breakdown of some costs - no word on if they're official - involved with accidents at the 'Ring.
Don't forget to watch how it played out in the vids below.
