Anybody who knows a thing or two about the Nurburgring is well aware of the fact that the Carousel, as well as the Small Carousel, aren't the kind of bends where you can push things too far.
The rough pavement seriously puts the suspension to work and there's only so much velocity you can carry through these twists. To put things another way, if you're planning to overtake the car in front of you, it's best not to try to gain an advantage by risking too much when negotiation any of these bends.
And this is especially true if you happen to be behind the wheel of a Honda Civic and notice a Porsche 911 GT3 negotiating the latter bend at a reasonable speed.
Alas, the guy wielding the Civic in the piece of footage at the bottom of the page seems to have used a different plan. At least that's the only explanation we could come up with for the man's attempt to power his way through the Small Carousel.
Since the Honda carried way too much speed into the bend, the inevitable happened - the bend sput the car out in oversteer anger. And, after a bit of brake-induced oversteer, the compact ended up kissing the guardrail.
Now, after checking out the ordeal of this front-wheel-drive machine, you might wonder what happens when a driver get the Small Carousel things wrong while hooning a rear-wheel-drive machine.
Well, one YouTube-famous example was delivered earlier this year, when Ring settler Misha Charoudin crashed his Toyota GT86 "company car".
The damage sustained by the Toyobaru can be labeled as light, but the vlogger also had to pay a consistent price for fixing the protection element on the side of the track - here's the clip of the accident, in case you missed it.
