That is a major prang hopefully the guys got out and are on the road to recovery but that motor has rolled multiple times or crashed at well over 100mph. Every panel is distorted that must of been a really hard impact! Godspeed

Reports on Facebook say the driver didn't make it.

Looks like it's Norwegian, judging by the number plate and 'West Racing.no' trailer in the background.

They do have some quite hazardous roads out there - observe the forest in the background, and damp looking road...

This happened last year after a show. The M3 driver was hit by a Ford van. No high speeds. The driver survived but with serious injuries. He kept updating us from the hospital bed on the Norwegian Bimmers.no forum.

Edit: The car looks really bad because it was cut open to get him out. You can see the initial impact was just on the front corner.
