the guy with the VXR is a "squady" based in germany with a German insurance policy. Id be surprised if they didnt pay out for him!
if thats the case then he will be ok. my insurance company over there when i mentioned the nurburgring said of course i can use it, its a public road. i just wasnt covered for trackdays.......
i dont think anything failed on the car, the driver was just going plain too fast. He has said as much himself.
I do feel for the guy though, nobody wants that!
i dont think anything failed on the car, and i don believe the tyre pressure either. he was going way to fast for that bend, you could see the car under steering wide and then as soon as it hit the loose stuff he was rolling. the only thing failing there was his driving skill.
the problem with the soldiers in germany is that we are entitled to tax free cars with additional forcs discounts so you can get a lot of car for not a lot of money out there.
For example before i left you could pick up a focus ST3 for £12500, golf GTI £13500, my car cost £12499 incl extras and delivery, so you have young inexperienced drivers buying fast cars and alot of them do crash, purely as they haven had any experience in slow cars let alone hot hatches.
the insurance companies have got strict on it over there now though, if your under 25 with a powerful car they will and truly hammer you with the insurance premiums, but if your over 25 its way cheaper than UK premiums
