1960's Nurburgring lesson

[TVR_Sagaris]

Just thought this might be of interest to Nurburgring fans, as the commentator says "its hairy alright!"

There's a fine line between brave and crazy. I think the GP drivers of the '60s crossed that line! Amazing video.

Wow, that guy really took off on the straights there.

It just a country road that happens to meet at both ends, and has been placed in the eiffel mountains. Hedgerows, signs, curbs (in a few places) and fences = fantastic! Bring this to the next GT and I will be more than grateful!

EDIT: (To the second video) And people think the Nurburgring is dangerous now! 1960's tires looked pretty awful at best!

I didn't realise they'd done so much re-modeling since that footage was taken in the sixties.

Wow, old Nurb seems so much more exciting than the new Nurb. Probably the lack of safety does it for me.
