Ferrari 458 Crashes Heavily on the Nurburgring

Ferrari 458 Crashes Heavily on the Nurburgring

Professional driver Colin Alton is no stranger to going 10/10ths on the Nurburgring, having driven sub eight-minute lap times in everything from the race-car-for-the-road 430 Scuderia to the latest Nissan GTR.

However, as any driver will tell you, you’re only as good as your last race. And unfortunately for Colin, this axiom came true in a scary and dramatic crash in a race-prepped Ferrari 458 Challenge car. Colin gives an
excellent blow by blow account of what exactly caused the accident, citing “the suspension going light” and “the right tyre touching the grass” as the causes for his dramatic accident. The accident itself came about as a consequence of the traction control system cutting torque to the engine just as the car went light coming over the final left corner of Kesselche.
