Saying that there are plenty of tough corners on the Nürburgring is like saying Nutella tastes like angels fornicating on your tongue. Both of those are understatements. A BMW driver recently got a first hand look at what happens on one of those tough corners when he came in a bit too hot and tried to fix the problem with plenty of opposite lock.
