Flugplatz means flying place, and the name is appropriate. It was the scene of one of the Rings most famous accidents, when the March F2 car of Manfred Winkelhock, its nose damaged in an earlier collision, suddenly took off over the crest. It flipped over backwards and then barrel-rolled into the barriers, Manfred amazingly stepping out unhurt and in true Winkelhock fashion asking a spectator for a cigarette.
a6m5That is crazy. Is that Nurburgring?
kylehnatthis is why all of our "look how fast i can go at the 'ring in my c9!!!" threads are meaningless. Group C, F1, and LMPs are too fast for the circuit, and would easily launch over some of those bumps and hills.
Touring MarsI think if I saw that coming towards me, I wouldn't be too bothered about rescueing my deckchair (like the guy in the video)...![]()
Though with the kind of downforce some of these cars get, I wouldn't be surprised to see them never leave the ground at all...unless their nose gets damaged!kylehnatthis is why all of our "look how fast i can go at the 'ring in my c9!!!" threads are meaningless.
