Nurburgring Nordschleife 70 Adenauer Forst Crashes.

914 sighting at 3:35.

I am not a fan of crash videos, but with all this vintage steel, I was unable to stop watching. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Sorry, I did a quick search, but I guess I used the wrong criteria.

As I said, always a good one... I am not sure where Johannes found it. Hard to believe that some judicial authority wouldn't have shut them down with all that carnage. I saw a couple that could have been fatal. The one with the collapsed roof and fully engulfed in flames, and the one where the person partially ejects and then smacks their head against the roof as they are propelled back toward the car.

Nurburgring is a public road with a toll so... Any idiot... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Obviously the 2nd 914 hadn't seen prior crashes because he pulls off the road to almost exactly where every other crash happened

Yes, crazy that SOMETHING wasn't done to prevent all the crashes, but I have little knowledge of the situation.

The 2 914s did well without spinning, and only one of the 911s might have suffered damage as it went over the hill. You are right about pulling off the road in the exact WRONG place.

The VW beetles (T1) were the worst of the lot. As most were swing axles (as it was 1970 and they went to IRS in 69), they had little chance to recover from such a slide/spin. I didn't expect so many roll overs on the beetles, however.

Now, the ejections and partial ejections made my stomach turn each time. The one girl who popped out of the window, then back in before the car came around and would have crushed her was SO lucky. GO SEATBELTS!

My fave is the 914 taking the racing line, right across the dirt, and just right on back to the road.

The Type 1's are really bad, but the Type 3's did OK.

It's Click it or Ticket around here...

Not exactly ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%BCrburgring

And while i'm busting your chops, it's called "Nürburgring".

Note the "Burg" which translates into "castle". "Berg" translates into "hill". Not quite the same ...


Just FYI, that video is NOT from a race. Nothing you know about racing applies here.

Anyone with €20 can take their car for a spin. AT YOUR OWN RISK.

And it seems that is EXACTLY what a lot of them did...I figured it was any yahoo in most of those clips because usually when a race car flips, luggage and groceries dont come flying out with the driver (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Ooops. I corrected the spelling for you. I said it badly but that is what I meant. Not that it was a public thoroughfare but that it was open to the public for a toll. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Err no they did not go IRS, it was made with swing axles untilit stopped production Automatics and US cars together with 1302 1303 models were IRS the rest stayed swing axle...

Wow, thanks for that correction. I guess Ralph Nader forced the IRS in the US while Europe got the old stuff?

I know the 80s mexican beetles were IRS, but that doesn't apply here.
