Home video of crashes at the Ring in 1970s. Lots of VWs, BMWs, few Porsches, Fiats, Lotus and Alfas.

I thought it was cool, thought you guys might as well. They were not even wearing helmets... Or seat belts.

I always likes this one..

I like the guy in the beetle at about 1:53 who falls out as the car is getting ready to roll on top of him. Hmmmm, maybe should have worn a belt!

Cool video!

That's some crazy footage. Were these every day citizens being allowed access to the track? The cabrio at 3:20 is the funniest. Looks like he'd done it a few times before.

MosDef one of my favorites. I have a different favorite car each time I watch it...This time it was the sedan, a Benz maybe, at 3:30. They guy just dumps it down the side. I think he just gave up when he saw the turn.

How do you save the videos to your hard drive?

Zack,
It is actually a toll road. Nordschlief and Sudschlief. Not sure if the Sudschlief is still there.

I when the guy bails out of his beetle. No helmet. No seatbelt. No problem...
