1970s 8mm footage: Nurburgring Open Day car crashes

Post by S8 Booster »

Somewhat strange 8? Mm film footage from the 70s showing "open day" crashes on Nurburgring. Everyone could/still can take their moto out on the ring for a spin. A lot of crashes occour. In the 70s footage people are sometimes thrown out of their cars and lot of other strange things clearly showing that cars has become a lot safer than then.

Owners of auto body shops around the Nurburgring must have been kept busy!

The Russians seem to have a knack for motoring on the edge. Here's a guy who's living on borrowed time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxjhbtYwcpo.
