There's something undeniably enthralling about watching a vehicle
perform outside of its intended element. It's why we love seeing semi
tractors weaving their way around a road course and rally cars bashing down a rock-strewn desert path. It's also why watching a Formula car dash around the snow-covered Nürburgring paints a big ol' smile on our faces.
When winter weather recently set in on Green Hell, Andy Gulden, the
chief instructor for the Nürburgring Driving Academy went out to have a
little fun. After a quick tire change, Gulden and the Formula racer were
happy as could be flicking around the infamous track.
Gulden doesn't hold back on the accelerator as he tackles the course,
either. Fortunately for us, he was kind enough to strap a few GoPro video cameras to
the car before he rolled out of the garage. The resulting video is a
look at the Nürburgring as you've likely never seen it before.

I love driving in snow. It's the other idiots on the road that I can't stand.

Hehehe, The F1 boys moan at rain & few puddles, the Americans call off the whole race meeting at the sight of a grey cloud. This guy should be the chief steward, would make for some interesting racing. ;P

At first I thought it was another one of Ken Block's nonsense but it was someone with actual skill.

Awesome, it's a tiny F.BMW but in such conditons it's insane in a single seater. But a lot of fun for Andy.
Always in opposite lock, even in the straights. XD.
Excellent driving skills.

doesn't hold back on the accelerator huh? The guy is feathering the throttle like crazy and only doing 40 mph maybe 60 in the straights. cool and lame at the same time.
I'd rather see snow mobiles racing.

@BatnBall89 He's the Chief Instructor at the ring... Pretty sure he could drive it at night without any lights and on snow...

I always wanted to live in Germany until I went there in early Spring. It's fucking cold there! Otherwise beautiful country in the warmer months.

See? If you know how to drive, snow tires & 4WD aren't necessary.

I had no idea those vehicles could handle those conditions.
That is some serious professional driving. Risky, but if you are an expert, it is not that big a deal.

At what part was the car "handling" I must have missed that part.

@Eagle eye I take it you've never been around a real open wheeled car? or any real car for that matter. That driver has mad skills.
