The (re)raised curbstone at the section called Foxhole (Fuchsrohre) is one of the most discussed topics of 2024. The result of the much higher curbstone is that drivers no longer ride the curb at this section, but take a wider racing line. Could this be the reason of this Aston Martin crash? Let me know your thoughts!
He should be kissing the kerb's edge to be perfectly on line. He was a little wider than he wanted to be and was definitely going too fast for the line he was on
Spoke to someone who knows well and the new Aston Martin GT3 Cup cars are light in the rear. The factor has to know this and hopefully they get to work on tightening it up. Did it have anything to do with this crash? Who knows. But "the word" is out there that they need to tighten up the rear end of the new car. It's loose. Needs attention ASAP.
Was watching the start at Schwedenkreuz and it almost went off there as well, few kilometers later it turns out it did actually crash. Glad he's okay tho :)
i knew that this bump over the hill will bring crashes cause you cant take the curb, adam christ. nearly lost it there on testing the same way, cause of oversteer
Why do so many people hate curbs? Like why dont we just get rid of all corners for good, and limit the track to 10 mph? Would be way less dangerous than all this unsafe cornery construction!
Yea, you can see the correction on the replay more clearly. He didn't overcorrect or anything, just the trajectory simply ran him out of room. His only mistake was a slightly overestimated speed into the corner. It's one of the hairiest corner on the track. (Of 80+)
if every car crash at that spot then yes it's a problem but thats not the case so just like every other bends and turns on the ring you just have to learn and relearn it
No, I'm sorry, but I think that's too easy to say. Of course, the new curb is a not entirely happy change. But I hope that it doesn't get mentioned every time an accident happens there. Race tracks change, sometimes in one direction and sometimes in the other. The fact is, it is the drivers and teams who have to adapt to this. If an accident happens, it is certainly not the fault of the route or the operator because they have every right to make changes. If an accident occurs on or through this curb, then the driver simply has not adapted sufficiently to the new situation. A new line isn't everything. The speed at the point also plays a role. EVERYONE now knows about the new curb, so it's time to forget the old line and speed there and adapt to the new conditions. This applies to racing drivers and tourist drivers. In my opinion, this accident here has nothing to do with the new curb. We've seen something like this before, even when the curb was still flat. I suspect that the tires are still too cold or the air pressure is too low

hey Sir, you can't park there 🤭🤭🤭
He was to wide… the other cars drove much closer to the curb

It had to be number 69😢
Nice 😭
You mean cause it nailed the rail sideways 🤣
Beat me to it 😠
First of many incidents we'll see there this year.
May we appreciate the camerawork? Like always a fast reaction on what happens or even a slightly change of line and you picked it up!
I noticed how quick the camera focused on the car. Very impressive
That bonnet is HUGE, like WOW
Hood.... That hood is huge
@@WeekendMorningCoffee 🤓
@@WeekendMorningCoffee No, bonnet.
I like how it just flies like that, puts into perspective how light racecars are
front mid engine
i hate the new line there

That applause has gotta hurt even though it means well.

didn't touched the curb. lost the rear a bit, tried to counter it and ran out of track...
Thanks, @Nürburgring for this mount everest curb construction....
The others seem to have no problem with it, hence: driver issue, nothing to do with the curb.

But he didn't even hit the curb...
Oversteer correction into grass I think

That “Take it easy” on the side of the car 😂
Watch carefully. The Aston gets oversteer as it comes into view. Driver successfully corrects but sadly runs out of road in doing so.
Did I just see a $30,000 frisbee hope his ok many blessings to all who see this!😯
that car is toast, will not see it again tomorrow
i bet you do, most is artificial damage
@@philippwie3539 Never doubt the engineers at NLS :) Wouldn't be the first time a vehicle that looks completely dead is repaired over night.
zu weit außen ...hätte näher am Curb fahren müssen, dann hatter Angst bekommen und hat kurz gelupft, was leider die falsche Entscheidung war..
I wouldn’t say he would had to go to hospital from the camera shot
Video suggestion: The racing line change before and after the curb raise
You can't help thinking that the driver overreacted to being a little wide.
It is a difficult track and there may have been other factors.
Who was driving the car at the time, not Darren Turner surely ?
That's not Darrens helmet
I think it might have been Robert Wickens
@geekyboygabe9213 Robert Wickens is paralyzed, and the driver walks to the medical afterwards.
@@twobrokenlegs13 Lmao, I put that comment before I actually watched the video. I saw that Robert put a thing that he had crashed on insta
@geekyboygabe9213 haha, it happens. And yeah, I seen that BHA had posted about his accident, was the same thing that lead me here as well.
Ohje, das hatte ich nicht mitbekommen...🙈
You can tell how light the hood is. It floated and descended like a piece of paper.
Who was driving at the time?
Was that a leased car? Does that mean he has to pay yhe track for it?
Looks like he understeered and carried slightly too much speed in the corner then hit the grass 🫥🫥
Good thing all of the cars coming around after him we're running on sticky tires😮
nummer 69, ob es ein zufall war?
is that Stroll 😂
First (NLS) victim of this new curb. Hate it! The old line was way better...
Time for the EVO upgrade?
The watermark in the middle of the screen is annoying. I’ll probably watch something else if that continues
Don't blame me, blame it on the copycats of TikTok and Instagram. The watermark is only to protect my work. I wish it wasn't needed.
Is this the new kerb coming out of foxhole ?
yes
He was so affraid of the curb...
0:57 nice….
Nice!
Is this a race??
That corner looks so awkward for the cars now. Absolutely awful corner now. Must be changed back at least before the 24.
Yup, knew that would happen.. The rear gets light just at the apex.. that corner is ridicoulousy build.. "safety" and less speed my ass..
if every car crash at that spot then yes it's a problem but thats not the case so just like every other bends and turns on the ring you just have to learn and relearn it
Same car number as Kalle Rovanperä but skills are not :p
Daddy will fix it
Hoffentlich war die Code 60 schon aufgebaut.

could have been saved with more countersteer
early turn-in, (because corner is blind), too much speed, understeer, grass, oversteer, barrier
there is a small bump in the apex, that makes the rear light.. you can hear it on my last recording. the section was rebuild to this year.
Too much speed, exactly! 😂
too fast for the new curbing ?
😮
He almost had it as well
The damage seems mild
$100,000 repair
Vantrage??? Are you on smack?
Nicht gut für die Umwelt und da macht man so einen Aufriss über einen Tag Feuerwerk.
Its a rental !? (I read leasing on it)
You mean "Nürnberger Leasing GmbH"? Thats a financial institution.
