One of the wildest overtakes in motorsport history almost happened at over 170 mph (274 km/h) on the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
During the 2018 Nürburgring 24 Hours, Dries Vanthoor was carving through traffic in the
#8 Audi R8 LMS when he attempted an audacious multi-car pass that looked destined to become an all-time racing highlight.
Instead, the move ended in a dramatic crash, turning what could have been a legendary overtake into one of the most famous “what if” moments in endurance racing.
Nearly a decade later, fans still debate whether it was a stroke of genius or a step too far.
Would this have gone down as the greatest overtake ever if Vanthoor had pulled it off?
What are your thoughts? 🤔💭
