You’ve no doubt become used to seeing all sorts of exotic machinery (and the odd hot hatch) crashing at the Nürburgring. But, somewhat bizarrely, a Mercedes-Benz W123 is the latest victim of the famous track – albeit almost in slow motion.
Yes, the footage above shows the old Mercedes losing grip at the rear on a damp track, before spinning around, scraping along the barrier and eventually coming to a halt.
Thankfully, the fairly elderly driver wasn’t going at a great pace when the incident occurred so any damage to the vehicle seems cosmetic at worst. And, of course, both driver and passenger appear fine.
