This footage from the Nürburgring Nordschleife shows a Volkswagen Golf GTI driver lose control of his hot hatch twice in a matter of seconds, before slamming into the barrier.
As the black Mk5 GTI enters a corner (the infamous Brünnchenn, in fact), the tail steps out. But the driver just about manages to catch the slide, seemingly recovering from what must have been a heart-in-throat moment.
But less than three seconds later, he loses control again, and this time slamming the hot hatch into the guardrail and sending gravel and fluids across the track. Ouch.
Thankfully, the driver and his passenger appeared uninjured.
