Two abreast at high speed on the Nürburgring, the drivers did not want to let go and inevitably, it ended badly after a little swerve of the wheel that we would gladly describe as “villainous”. And besides, they are brothers!
Very impressive, the video below was filmed yesterday after the start of the 24 Hours of Nürburgring 2022. It shows an epic duel between two of the contenders for victory, the Porsche 911 GT3 R of Manthey Racing driven by Laurens Vanthoor and the Phoenix Racing Audi R8 LMS Evo2 driven by Dries Vanthoor, Laurens’ brother.
The cars are two abreast in a fast part of the slightly curved circuit and neither of them wants to give way. Laurens seems to give a slight swerve to force Dries to bite the grass, but it’s not enough to make him let go. He then sends another swerve which has the unexpected consequence of sending his Porsche into the background!

Whose fault is it ?
The responsibility for the accident seems to go to Laurens Vanthoor whose small steering movements seem very villainous. But what a sequence! Note that no one was injured in the accident.
