BMW M4 nearly crashes into others cars at Nurburgring

Great brakes, amazing reflexes and a better than ever chassis has helped a BMW M4 Coupe avoid a car crash at the dangerous Nurburgring race track.


The Green Hell is one of the few race tracks in the world where anyone can pay and track their cars on it. From professional drivers to occasional are track people to inexperienced drivers can show up to the track and for a nominal fee, track their cars on the most dangerous race track in the world. Therefore, crashes happen every year, some with deadly causalities.
And looking at the video below, this was a close one. The BMW M4 Coupe was chasing a Porsche 911 when the two super-fast cars encountered a slower vehicle on the right which was stopping to avoid a car “parked” on the same side. Quick reflexes and braking hard has brought the M4 to almost a full stop therefore avoiding what could have been a deadly crash.

Let’s have a look.

Free motor show comes to Regent Street

Regent Street in London will play host to a huge collection of cars and motorbikes on Saturday November 1st as part of a free motor show.

For one day, the street that is famed for its shopping and is home to such world famous stores as Hamleys, will be closed to traffic to make way for the cars of the Regent Street Motor Show.

Among the types of car that will be on show are performance cars, family cars, eco cars and racing cars. Visitors will also be able to marvel at 100 veteran cars that will be displayed the day before they set off on the annual Bonhams London to Brighton Veteran Car Run that begins in Hyde Park.
All the veteran cars due to go on display were built prior to 1905 and are going to get involved in the EFG International Concours d’Elegance.
Speaking about the upcoming event, director of the Regent Street Association Annie Walker said: “The huge variety of exhibits perfectly complements Regent Street, with an array of vehicles ranging from the horseless carriages to the cars of today all set in one of the world’s most prominent shopping streets. It adds a completely new dimension to a visit to the best shopping street in the West End. And best of all, it’s free!”

Ms Walker also explained that the day is now recognised widely as something that is fun for the whole family to do, whether they are just out shopping or if they are really into cars.
The event has been running since 2005 and has been growing in popularity ever since. For car manufacturers, this provides them an opportunity to show off some of their newest products to people who are enthusiastic about motoring or just wandering through.
Last year, the event saw a record 400,000 visitors coming to look at a range of vehicles, from motoring pioneers to brand new supercars.

This year’s motor show will start at 10:30 GMT and last until 16:00 GMT.

What kind of car is right for you?

Are you looking at buying a new car or upgrading your current one? With so many different options available on the market from numerous brands, selecting the car that’s right for you might seem like a daunting task. It’s important to consider several factors and your own personal needs before deciding on the type of car that you will go with.

For example, you will need to know how many passengers you expect to ride with you. Will your car just be for your own personal usage, a small family or larger groups of people? To help you decide on what car is best for you, we have compiled a handy list of some of the options out there.

Coupe- This car type features two doors and is perfect for drivers who want to make a statement. They’re sleek and are real head-turners, the coupe is synonymous with fast cars. The only drawback is that passenger and storage space is unusually almost non-existent so you should only consider coupes is you don’t need the extra room.


Sedan- The quintessential family car, the sedan is a favourite for drivers looking to ferry passengers in comfort. Suitable for small families, sedans are usually packed with great safety features while maintaining practicality and a certain degree of style. While sedans don’t pack the raw power of its sleeker cousins, they certainly make for comfortable and reliable rides.



Hatchback- Hatchbacks are also another great alternative for families who are unwilling to spring for a full-sized sedan. Aimed at the younger crowd, the hatchback blends sportiness with practicality due to its larger than average boot space, allowing you the luxury of storage without compromising on style or functionality. Some hatchbacks even let you fold the rear seats to make more room for your stuff, which makes it an ideal car for shopping or a strip to the grocery store.



Minivan- a minivan or a multi-purpose vehicle, compared to a normal sedan, is a better fit for those who have larger families or need to transport several people at the same time. To give you an idea, this vehicle can easily accommodate 6-8 passengers. With a minivan, people riding with you can sit comfortably and still have enough room for their stuff. However, minivans can look rather boring compared to SUV’s.




SUV- A sports utility vehicle is another great option if you would like a car with more leg room. Not only that, this car type comes in more stylish package compared to an MPV. SUV’s are great for families that love the outdoors and regularly go on road trips, as they’re both comfortable, versatile and are able to carry a lot of luggage and people at the same time.
