Mardenborough's GT-R actually impacted the ground behind the second fence as well before it bounced back to and against the first fence, where it ended up on a spectator. This was visible in a video that has since been pulled from youtube.

Regarding the Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 at Flugplatz, there is another thing to mention. This car has always had this problem at this spot, as this video from the 2013 24h Nürburgring qualifying with Tobias Schulze behind the wheel proves:

Yep, the overall size difference is what I implied with the bottom size comparison between Gallardo and GT-R. I believe the AMG GT will be less problematic due to its shorter nose, but the M6 GT3 could cause trouble as well with its dimensions similar to the Nissan. The Bentley, which is another gigantic GT3, could…

The 911 GT3 Cups have flown there quite heavily as well, although not in the fashion shown by the Nissan. They took off at the front and back mostly, flying more or less flat as opposed to high-downforce GT3s that only lift their noses up because they have that much rear downforce. As for Glickenhaus's car: the SCG…

Yes, the SCG 003C from the SP-X class is also banned for now. Also, please have a look at what the SCG 003C did at the much faster (~270-280 km/h) Schwedenkreuz bump. I wouldn't call that one unproblematic either.

This crash happened at roughly 140 mph if I'm not mistaken. Cutting off 50 hp alone won't do the trick I'm afraid. The GT3 cars that lifted their noses heavily at Flugplatz tended to be front-engined GT3s historically, namely the Nissan GT-R and the SLS AMG GT3, although the MP4-12C GT3 gets the obligatory honorable…

Are you aware of the fact that this decision also banned the Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG 003C from competition? To make matters worse, they banned the SP10 GT4 class while they continue to allow the much faster CUP2 class of Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars to compete. http://valkbau5.kinja.com/dmsb-bans-gt3-…

Considering it's a VW, you should be glad it's a timing belt. The 1.2 TSI and 1.4 TSI engines they built with a timing chain are horrendous for exactly that reason. The hydraulic chain tensioner of those doesn't work properly and because it's not a double timing chain, it jumps far more easily. These engines usually…

I had the hatchback version of the Golf VII with the 2.0 TDI 150 hp with the 6-speed manual as a brandnew rental (under 5000 km) for christmas 2013 over here in Germany and I was massively surprised by how smooth and refined it was compared to my mother's MY2010 Skoda Octavia RS TDI Wagon built on the preceiding VW…

Old tires on the Bentley, which held everyone up.

The Audi's best lap was quite a lot quicker than the Nissan's. As the Bentley was on old tires at the end, he didn't stand a chance against Chiyo. Also, perhaps Nissan had Chiyo use a different engine mapping for the restart (is that possible on GT3s?). http://www.bathurst12hour.com.au/2015-results

This article is about reactionary cars that were only built because of game-changers with a substantial impact.

They even scrap cars just because they're not insured. It wouldn't be the first Ferrari scrapped by the British police, as the text points out. I don't know the fate of this Aventador. http://metro.co.uk/2013/07/04/pur…

Do you remember what they do with drug dealers's cars in the UK once they're seized? I suggest you to watch the Top Gear Mitsubishi Evo VII vs tank challenge in that context. I don't have a good feeling about the fate of this Ferrari.

No, her "Race Taxi" is a slightly modified 997 GT3 RS Mk 2 with red rims. http://www.frikadelli-racing-team.de/racetaxi.asp#f…

That 911 she passes at 11:00 is not just any Porsche. It's a Porsche 997 GT3 RSR entered by Manthey Racing, the squad that also runs Porsches GTE effort in the WEC with the 911 RSR based on the 991.

She offers her own Taxi rides now - in a 997 GT3 RS Mk 2.

While Mercedes-Benz had issues in 1955 as well, you're not talking about the incident that avi24 most likely refers to. In 1999, three Mercedes-Benz CLRs (the successor to the CLK GTR and CLK LM) took off in Le Mans the same way as this Porsche. They happened as follows:
