I crashed at the Nürburgring.

Thank you for sharing how much it costs to crash there. Just another reminder that things can go south, when moving at the limit. But the main thing is that you're fine. Everything else can be either fixed, or replaced.

Daniel As a retired rally driver I have suffered the depression and cost of putting cars into trees and down the sides of mountains and I know what a fuckfest it is to get your car back while being financially groped all the way. That was clearly a mechanical issue – nothing to do with your driving at all. So it looks like you had the straps fail on the tank. In rally world we are used to the effects of vibration and general weakening of stuff so we replace critical parts regularly. IN rally world we have extra straps on fuel tanks because of the jumps and higher vibration and if you have the money you have more comprehensive underbody protection. Bizarre stuff happens. I had the back snap out in FWD at 136 kph (on board telemetry) on a narrow but dead straight dirt road at night with big drops on side of mountain. What happened to you reminded me of my experience. Caught it (because it was not as catastrophic as what you went through) and when we finished rally we found that top hat mountings on rear had become elliptical hence massive alignment variation at end of suspension. Only took a bit of undulation to throw the car wildly out of line at 136 kph. I have had lower front control arm mounting bolts get finger loose after 30 km of fast dirt circuit training (even though they were torqued ok at the start) and that has been enough to put the car around under brakes at speed. This is why everything gets spanner checked at a rally service., In tarmac land the effects of vibration can take much longer to emerge but they are still there and it can catch you out. Hope you get back on the track and put it behind you but think about the vibration/fatigue issue for future maintenance regimes. Cheers Peter

Good guy vlogger, delivers on title in first 30 seconds

I still can't get over how fast you countered that steering. I would have been terrible

dunno why people watch schmee and all that utter crap, this is genuinely properly interesting. Good videos.

$2,000 - now we know what a minor crash at the Ring is going to cost.

really good reaction to the back end stepping out . I'm impressed. not much you can do with fuel on your tires. too bad. remember kids. old cars are old cars. I never thought of the straps that hold the gas tank on as a maintenance item but i do now.

Comments like "going too fast" and what not are irrelevant, you go to the track to drive fast...

Just found your channel love it!

Crashing at The Ring can have many causes, but driving with Harry's Laptimer in your field of view certainly raises the stakes. I decided to go without a year ago after some big moments. Lap time stress is gone. The fun factor stayed. Sorry for your loss. I've found out the hard way a big moment at The Ring is at best expensive. Luckily no hospital came in to play for you. Cheers.

To be honest the track is very unforgiving even for experienced drivers..👍

I applaud you. You took this misfortune like a man!

Don't know if anyone's noticed this but watch the reaction time of the car stepping out and Danny correcting. It doesn't make much difference but fuck me it was fast.

Wow! Great insight to how it all works at the track. I think it's put me off from ever attempting it lol. I like how calm you were after the crash, checking out the Evo's and the like! Great vid.

just now finding your vids, fucking love them! thanks for taking the time to make them! I'm researching trying to figure out if kswap in my ek is the route I wanna go.

Ha I was at the Nürburgring same time as you guys, even got a pic of the Silvia 😉 ... I also crashed my Ducati 🙈

Sucks to be you dude. £1200 for the damage is a bitch. Car looked and sounded sweet though. Got a bit close to that Megane too as you went past!

Props to you for maintaing control and moving car off to a safe place. Most drivers would panic and leave the car without first thinking other cars will be coming from behind at around the same speeds.

Sorry to see this happen to you Daniel. I was there the day it happened with my brother and my nephew, going around the track in a danish silver Toyota Avensis SW. Was so sad to see the Integra parked to the side with missing front parts. Good to know it wasn't driver error and nothing happened to you.

thats very sad danny badluck happens :( hope to see you soon on the track dont give up bro. i love following you and all your stuff
