To share with all of you Nür fans, and not only...

A little over forty years at Nür. Why always the europeans love curves ;)

 
I hope nobody died in any of those crashes. I mean, some people are flying out of the car mid-spin.
 
Lots of corner cutting :(
But man, thank god for safety regulations.
 
Some look dangerous, some are just funny.
I like the ones where the biker falls off.
 
At 6:21, the dude is just taking a short-cut. Hahaha
 
The 1:35 is the must funny for me too. And the opposite, look at the lucky girl at 0:25 seconds on the BMW.
 
Were those on open days like they still have? Some of that is kinda scary, particularly the guy showing off to his friends in the Beetle cabriolet (not a genuine Karmann Ghia one i hope!)

Other than that though, some nice classics there, though unsurprisingly maaaany BMWs, Beetles and 911s

A few other gems though, think I spotted an old Manta (or is 1970 too early?), Capri (Cologne!) and a few VW-Porsche 914s...saw one of those recently in metallic lime green...suprisingly larger and wider than I expected it to be.

Oh yeah (edit) can anyone place what part of the track that is?

No seatbelts, no airbags etc. I think you can be sure some of them did...
 
Is the old Manta yes very cool, I had a father of a friend who had a gold one with black stripes.
This bring me old memories, I had two cars that appear in the video, the BMW 2002, and Porche 914 in silver :drool:
 
Haha. What the f... ? The accident at 1:35 is really funny.

I really hope that everyone survived in this video.
 
awesome save by the driver of the green car at 7:04 !!

What you love is what zillions videos you see about Nur. in everywhere. How about something different? a rare video?

Each one has the expectation that either. And each one builds their.
This is part of the story of Nur., like it or not. Sees as a moment of leisure, and education also, and do not make a storm in a teacup.
And I as a Nur. fan, I like to also see this. Don't come with problems of conscience values.
 
Is that a person flying out the rear window @ 0:37? :eek:
 
Good question RikkiGT-R, but I was see atm in full screen and I don't think so, just clothes or something.
 
Great video from '70s, a little bit scary too. Never visited there but someday I will. There are still opendays so taking a part of that would be nice, not driving for life but seeing each corner of that marvelous track.

Yeah it does sort of 'flop out' very quickly. But then... clothes just randomly lying around in the car on track day?
 
Is this the same video?
It works for mobile.

Moved. Not a GT5 topic. There are other subforums on the site, you know.
 
It's interesting to watch some of the newer crash videos after that and see how much car safety has improved over the years. And thank you Volvo for three-point safety belts! :)
