Today is one of those rare occasions when we bring you a story from the Nurburgring that doesn’t involve a lap time, a crash or an epic save. We’re also pretty sure it’s the first time we’ve reported anything squirrel-related from the Nordschleife, too.

The incredible footage above shows the moment a squirrel scampered in front of a race-spec BMW M235i at a recent VLN event, narrowly escaping a squashing…

Oh god, squirrels. Two birds one time almost nearly escaped death by my 5-pot ride in a 20mph zone! I honked at them twice, they didn’t listen. So I just accelerated and they nearly escaped.
