I uploaded a new version of the Nürburgring crashes video.
Better image quality, more crashes and a few 914.
These shots were captured in the seventies with a super 8mm film camera.
A time when safety was just a word. This was filmed when the "ring" is opened to the public. Most drivers don't even have seat belts, some have the children on the backseats ...
The curve is called Adenauer Forst and is just afer a long straight line

Cool.
That Yellow 914 just kept trying.

The tangerine 914 did not seem to notice that there was a bend in the road.

Very cool.

Watch the whole thing... there are some amazing crashes in there. If you're just looking for the 914's, they're at 3:30; 3:55, and 6:20 - although the latter isn't so much a crash as a shortcut. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Plenty of other P-cars too.

Kind of a relief to see that the P-cars tended to have relatively controlled spin-outs, as opposed to a lot of the more top-heavy cars.

We have no idea what the drivers were saying as they emerged from their cars, but we can assume most of the words spoken just before entering the curve,

"Hold my beer and watch this!"

Awesome. In one of the last crashes someone has a soda come out the right front window and start squirting all over the place... Too much speed, not enough tire, not enough talent...

What about the dude in the bug that tries to jump clear of his car!!!

When you go to the Ring these days, is it still so lax? No helmets, some of these guys were clearly not even wearing seat belts.

Helmets are not required. It's still basically "run what ya brung". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Although most of the cars I saw where pretty well prepared. (I didn't see any sodas flying out of windows). They said one motorcyclist a month dies at the "Ring". We were driving cars from a company called "rent-a-racer". The insurance deductible was $10,000!

I have never seen so many "yard sales" in one video! Did you notice the handling characteristics of all the 911's? They all did the same thing.

I know what it is...
Rare car, that's why I put it on the video despite it didn't really crashed.
Could be a good question for the "guess the car" game ...
