The Nürburgring racetrack may look like a ton of fun when you’re driving a virtual car from the comfort and safety of your couch, but there’s no reset and return buttons in real life when something goes wrong, only the potential for a lot of pain, life-threatening dangers and a huge hole in your pocket and ego.

After we showed you yesterday’s crash with a Toyota GT 86 rent-a-racer, another video surfaced from the Nürburgring, one with a far more dramatic outcome.

In this clip, an older generation Honda Civic hatchback, which was fortunately equipped with a roll-cage, turned sideways and smashed into the metal walls on both sides of the track.

According to the YouTube author “Rallyeoberehe”, the accident happened due to a “drive failure”, and despite the severity of the crash, the driver came out of the wrecked Civic unscathed, though, he was “taken to hospital as a precaution”. Watch the accident in the video after the break.
