Try Not To Wince At This Huge Scirocco 'Ring Crash And Painful Recovery
This VW Scirocco driver ended up becoming a little too acquainted with Nurburgring Armco recently, as shown in this rather dramatic trackside-shot video. The driver seems to be in trouble as soon as she comes into the frame, bouncing along the grass.
She gets back onto the tarmac, only to carry too much speed into the next corner, understeering straight into a tyre wall and then the barrier. The impact itself looks huge and is followed by multiple rolls. Amazingly, the driver was said to be “OK and able to get our of her car herself,” according to the uploader.
The painful viewing isn’t over once the crash is finished, however. It’s arguably just as wince-inducing to watch the recovery crew attempt to get the battered Scirocco back on its wonky wheels - a process which is best described as crunchy.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

This was last month
The CT Staff are renowned for their consistency cough cough
A few things i have to say:
Dem weels real wonky
The crunch reminds me of some ‘Taste the crunch’ ad and sounds like a crisp packet getting demolished by a shredder
Is that a normal Scirocco!?!?!?
Looks like the R model
Nice to see modern safety standards doing what they’re supposed to do. Sucks for the driver though
keep on rolling, rolling Why does this remind me of something else.. but with another French hot hatch..
“OHHH, f*cking hell… Jesus Christ…”
For some reason, I had ‘Tumbling Dice’ by The Rolling Stones in my head.
“Got to roll me! Keep on rolling, baby!”
..lol
She was too fast for the first corner in the video … and did not learn out of his mistake…
She*
It’s like my Gran Pappie always said, the only good Kraut-mobile is a wrecked kraut-mobile.
The initial prang was definitely worse. The old girl was a definite right off way before the recovery truck got to it.
I’m just glad the driver is ok. Shame about the Scirocco R though
I see why she crashed, her front wheel toe angle was too negative…
ME LIKE: WATCHES THE VIDEO.
BE FRIGHTENED FOR LIFE
