I really enjoyed this video, and I can’t believe that the last video (shot with the legend that is Jacky Ickx) has only 1800 views.
Even though the work of heroes like Lauda has resulted in a much safer environment for all of us involved in professional motorsport, there’s little doubting the Nürburgring’s deadly nature.
Even wrapped in the latest FIA-spec fences and nestling below somewhat random speed limits, it’s the Nordschleife’s danger that makes us love it.
And I simply can’t wait to see the WTCC boys (and girls) battling it out on the world’s greatest racetrack.
