Between three and twelve deaths a year. I hope they are talking about deer.

Here's another angle.
That car was already airborne before it created the hill. This also gives you a better idea of what kind of speed the car was doing as it approached the crest.
In the clip, you don’t get to see the car go into the crown - thankfully because I don't need to see it especially since a spectator lost his life. But listen to the impacts. You see the car coming, only hearing its tail scraping along the ground, then you hear it hit the barricade big time, then science for almost 4 seconds... then the second impact. The cameraman said all that needs to be said....

didn't Weber flip there two years in a row? I seem to remember it happening twice to the BMW team at the same track??

I think it was the Mercedes LMP1. Once in practice and once in the race.
If no one from the future comes back to stop you from doing it then how bad of a decision can it really be?
Re: Nissan crash- 1 dead in crowd Nurburgring
I am pretty sure it was both racing situations and I can remember it was a year apart. I will see if I can find the info
I looked it up but haven't found the one I am thinking of. I did see the Webber/Mercedes from 1999 and the accident of Drembeck/Mercedes 1999 so maybe I am confused but I seem to remember the year seperation. Will keep looking
