    This is a really bad crash that took place in Oschersleben's racing track between 2 Corvettes, one BMW Z4 GT3 and an Audi R8 LMS. The Audi's driver Nicki Thiim was very, very lucky.

    Pretty scary stuff there, lots of energy going on through that roll. Glad everyone's ok.

    Wow, pretty scary flips there. Nice to see the drivers helping one another out like that. The R8 looks to have taken the brunt of that wreck.

    On another note, pretty nice variety of cars there. SLS, McLaren, Camaro, Vette, 911, Z4, R8, Gallardo...

    yep it's a great series, lots of diversity. GT3 specs....

    even off a rolling start a race car has a lot of energy to dissipate :eek:

    Aside from the crash, the thing to notice is how young the drivers watching
    in the pit appear to be.

    They look like kids!

    I thought the same....and perhaps they need to rename the series....Masters, indeed! Did not look like Masters some 10 seconds into the race!

    Looks as though the teams are plunking these kids straight out of karting
    when they're 15 or 16.

    Some big lateral moves on that start. Not a good plan in traffic
