It was a time of mullets, neon colours, and perfectly prepared production saloons and hatchbacks. Yes, I know, that could be any time in Germany’s recent history.
But I’m actually referring to the mid-1980s.
This video just surfaced on YouTube and it appears to be a VHS-rip of a 10-minute ZDF report on the Nürburgring 24-hour. I would highly recommend watching it below.
Yes, it’s in German. But if you have even a small grasp of the world’s harshest language, you should have an idea what’s happening.
And if you don’t?
Just enjoy the wonderful machinery (I want one of those Manta 400s!) and trying to spot the famous racing drivers.
10 minutes well spent. The first corner action is worth the entry fee alone…
