Default 1970's vintage video of Nurbergring (?) street car rollovers, etc.

Nothing gross here. Just a fascinating look at open track days back in the day. No audio.

Enjoy!!!

Great vid! That's still the best spot at the track to watch the cars and get some pomesfritz. I saw my far share of wrecks at that spot also. There is a fence and earthern berm there now.

Great video. Very enjoyable. I think that those guys need to learn the concept of late apex

Yap, the Adenauer Forst is very tricky. I never went through the grass, which is there now instead of the gravel in the video, but I had a very close encounter with a motorcycle that ran in to the side of my car.
