Driver rushed to hospital after crash at track Verstappen called 'too dangerous'
Aston Martin's Rolf Scheibner was taking part in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring when he was involved in a huge crash that left his car on its roof in the middle of the track Racing driver Rolf Scheibner was rushed to hospital after suffering a horror crash at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring on Sunday. Scheibner was driving for Aston Martin in the race when he was taken out by Porsche's Kevin Estre. The race was held at a track that four-time Formula One world champion Max Verstappen has branded 'too dangerous'. The infamous course has seen an estimated 170 deaths from both public and private races since it opened in 1927. Estre was battling with Raffaele Marciello when he came up behind the slower Scheibner in the section between Kallenhard and Wehrseifen. The Frenchman attempted to pass the Aston Martin. Neither man gave up the position, with the nose of Estre's vehicle making contact with Scheibner. That turned the Aston sideways, before it ploughed into a barrier, with the force of the collision spinning the car upside down before hurtling back across the track. It eventually came to a rest on its roof but Scheibner was able to escape from the wrecked car. He was then rushed to hospital for precautionary checks and was thankfully released after getting the all clear from medical professionals. The Nurburgring has hosted 42 F1 Grand Prix but Verstappen delivered a scathing criticism in which he insisted it would not host any more. He told Formula 1 Magazine: He told Formula 1 Magazine: '(A return) is really not going to happen with the cars we have now. One thing is for sure: F1 there will never happen again. Far too dangerous.' Estre was handed a 100 second penalty by the stewards for his role in the incident, which ensure he missed out on a win. But the Frenchman insisted he had been left with 'nowhere to go'. 'We were catching some traffic and the car in front of me, the GT4, had three blue flags in a row,' Estre said. 'He left the door open for the triple right. I went inside, there was room and then he turned in and then there was no room anymore. 'I saw him coming, I braked, I was fully on the curb but I had nowhere to go. He had a lot of room on the left obviously he didn't see me or he thought I was further behind, which is sad for him. 'I'm happy that he's fine and this is what we we have to face many times in the race. To be honest if the same situation would have come again, I would have done the same so for me there is nothing that I did [wrong]. Estre also criticised the decision to hand him the large penalty, which dropped him down to second. His team had tried to protest the decision but that was thrown out by the stewards. 'It's a racing incident, of course there's always two to have an incident, but for me, I was inside. They took a decision, we tried to protest but they didn't accept the protest,' said Estre. 'The rest is history, we crossed the finish line first but we had this big penalty and we lost the race. So yeah, it's a sad moment for sure for us. I think we really did a great race. One contact in the race ended up ruining our result. 'Nevertheless, it's a great weekend for Manthey, for Porsche, for my two teammates. They did well. We had a great car [and] we were all the way at the front. We didn't hide and in the end, it was not enough.'

Emelia Hartford Prepares For Intense Pikes Peak Race With Mobil 1
Emelia Hartford with her Porsche GT4 RS at 2025 Pikes Peak Legendary car builder, YouTube icon, actress, and professional race car driver Emelia Hartford is preparing to tackle one of the world's most challenging hill climb routes, Pikes Peak, as she enters the prestigious GT4 class. Backed by Mobil 1, supported by Porsche Colorado Springs and BBI Autosport, Hartford is busy testing the 500 bhp Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport that will carve its way towards Pikes Peak's 14,000ft summit via 156 turns during the 2025 'Race to the Clouds". Support also comes from Pikes Peak Hall of Famer Jeff Zwart. 'Working with Jeff Zwart and the entire Mobil 1 team is truly an honor. Jeff is not just a legendary driver—he's a mentor who brings a level of calm intensity that's contagious; I joke he is Master Yoda. The man knows this mountain physically and mentally. Every bit of advice he gives is rooted in both precision and wisdom, and it's taught me to think differently about how I approach a run like this. And of course, running with the Mobil 1 team, a brand with a legacy of performance and innovation is truly a dream come true' Hartford tells Matthew MacConnell. Emelia Hartford at 2025 Pikes Peak Over the 12.5-mile route, Hartford will face rapidly changing weather conditions and extreme altitude—the ultimate test of both women and machine. However, she's no stranger to intense racing after recently smashing a world record at Famaso Dragstrip, California. When asked how she'll stay focused during the intense race, Hartford replied 'Focus, for me, comes somewhat easily. I am openly a bit obsessive when I dive into something. When I'm on that mountain, I'm not thinking about anything, it's kind of the only time that seems to happen. Pure bliss, no fear, no distractions just me vs the mountain. One challenge honestly is staying on my content game. I usually am very active in sharing my life with the world but that has been a bit more difficult when being so focused and locked in with my driving. Instead of shooting, editing, and posting I have been studying the road, watching driving footage, running the sim, and trying to memorize and visualize every section of the course. And honestly, the mountain demands your full attention, it's mostly blind turns at full throttle so it's not hard to stay focused when every corner could be your last.' Emelia Hartford at 2025 Pikes Peak Participating in Pikes Peak is a dream for many, including Hartford who said she set a goal to take her driving to the next level this year while working towards racing professionally in the most important and iconic motorsports races. 'We are starting with a bang with Pikes Peak. I watched Pikes Peak since I first got into cars, it's one of those races you dream about but is also more intimidating than most, and I don't get intimidated easily. It's not just a race, it's like nothing else on earth, it's a mountain with a serious legacy. Getting the chance to compete here feels like stepping into something sacred. It's intimidating, sure—but it's also a moment of growth for me, both as a driver and as a person. I've been through a lot in life, so I really live for moments like this!' Luckily, Hartford feels positive about the Mobil 1-powered 'dialed and balanced' Porsche GT4 RS that will take her to the top. Emelia Hartford's Porsche GT4 RS 'It really is very planted and predictable. It gives you confidence without taking away the respect you need to have for the road. It's been great driving something that I don't have to second guess so I can focus on the mountain more than the car. And of course, having Mobil 1 keeps my race car running smooth and strong – which is exactly what you need when every bit of engine power counts on such a tough mountain climb like Pikes Peak. I'm smiling cheek to cheek on every run.' Austin Johansen, North America Mobil 1 marketing manager, said "We're excited to welcome Emelia to her first 'Race to the Clouds' and protect the cars of seven drivers who rely on our products to power them through this challenging 12.42-mile course. It's really rewarding to be part of such an iconic event that motorsports fans everywhere look forward to.' Good luck, Emelia!
