Porsche 911 GT3 RS & BMW M2 involved in a fiery crash at Nurburgring
A Porsche 911 GT3 RS and a BMW M2 had a massive crash at the Nurburgring this weekend. The accident happened during the Touristenfahrten session on July 5, 2025.
Videos posted on social media show the moment of impact and the aftermath of the accident. In the first video, you can see the Porsche approaching the M2. The driver of the M2 was clearly aware of the traffic and pulled to the side. However, just when the GT3 RS is about to pass on the inside, the M2 driver turns into the corner, clipping the rear end of the Porsche.
The slight bump sends both cars flying into the barrier at high speed. The Porsche is flung across the racetrack in a massive fireball. The impact was so severe that the front bulkhead on the GT3 RS got completely ripped off.
Fortunately, both drivers survived the fiery accident, which could’ve been avoided with a little bit of caution. Opinions on social media are split over who is to blame – Some say that the BMW driver is at fault, while others pin the blame on the over-aggressive Porsche.
We believe both drivers share the blame for this unfortunate crash. Yes, the GT3 RS driver was a bit too restless and could’ve overtaken the BMW on the straightaway after the corner. On the other hand, the M2 driver could’ve slowed down a bit more and taken a wider line to let the GT3 RS pass safely.
