KTM X-bow crashed at the Nurburgring Nordschleife

Ouch! This once proud owner of a new KTM X-bow has had a massive dent to his pride, and his wallet after crashing into the barrier on the Nürburgring’s Nordschleife. A report in The Sun suggests the driver lost control, slid on two wheels before hitting the barrier. The car then ran across the top of the armco before coming to a halt. Fortunately it appears as nobody was injured. Well, except for the driver’s ego. Not only will he need to foot the bill for the damage to his car, he will also need to cover the cost of the damage to the barriers, and that’s not cheap. Still, like all good racers I’m sure he’ll be back on track as soon as he can. Experiencing the Nürburgring in an X-bow is sure to be one worth striving for, if you get the opportunity, just show a bit more caution than this bloke.
