I'd like to do this training...

Anyone here did anything similar? ( and I don't mean crashing a BMW) ;)
I am not sure the word 'leaning' it the right one. If you do this in 100 mph plus I think you're brain is thinking of other words...
However, it's a great way to reduce speed and save the car (and yourself) from (more) expensive repairs.

Guard rails - Safety Training
Final option in case of traffic jam and immenence to drive against other cars:
keep to the left and further slow by leaning to the guard rail.

This is super fun, we did exatly this at Nurburgring 1993 in the BMW Sport Club Europa event. Even my girlfriend at the time did it as well. Can you imagin the looks on ouer faces when they offerd brand new BMW car for this training.

As you wright its the best way to stopp a car on atobhan if you see a series crash on the autobhan and you know you wount stopp the usuall way. And its minor damages to car if compared to driving in to the tail of cars in front.

When done its importent to get close the rails relly slow and when very very close go against and do a full maximum turn on the steering wheel. You feel the car as glued to the rails when metal to metal .

I can't think of a better use for a Bimmer.

ROFL!!!:applause: :applause:

You know, if you're NOT tailgating in the first place, you'll NEVER need to use that maneuver! Let's see... 80% of ALL vehicles in the US are trucks and SUVs, my RS 6 can outbrake ANY of them and all others with the exception of only .2%. I don't tailgate, so I only worry about someone rear ending ME!:rolleyes:

You mentioned SUVs and braking....

Had to relay this story.....

Simsons Episode which I watch last night...

Kids out on highway in Homer's RV, Mom trying to catch them, SUV's blocking their way,

Homer say's

"Don't worry Honey, there is a GENTLE curve up ahead...."

All the SUV's go right off the road and catch fire....

laughed my a$$ off on that one!

Cartoon mimicking real live...

@ 1000 Euroes per driver, I can still see the guard rail driving tactic being profitable. :bye:

[Kev.S]

Used to lean on other cars all the time to assist in cornering, braking etc. We called it Rallycross!

that's what scares me too - going 160 km/h with some a$$hole in Fiat Panda or small Skoda or VW Golf glued to your bumper ........
