Best spot for watching on Tourist Weekends... Still today most of the "First Lapers" get that part of the Track very wrong... Not so many rolls today, but still great fun to watch. Hilarious!

The 'Ring has been an icon for so long - but this is some of the funniest old footage I could find. No ABS/traction systems interfering with good old live axles here... Just goes to show how different 'modern' cars really are. And how much work Porsche must have done to get the 911 so bloomin' good! Everyone survived yes, no worries about that.

The nordchieffe was a suicide track for cars back then. But the challenge that track has been for the past decades has made it famous. Did everyone in those crashes survive Tom?
