When men were men

Was going through some of the car vids I've collected over the years. Came across a short clip of a GP at the Nurburgring in the 60's. Kinda puts modern day F1 into perspective.



Uploaded it to youtube, quality not great but watchable.

It really has more in common with rallying than modern F1 (with the exception of the cars).

One word. Balls.

Cracker - I've got an In Car DVD with loads of the Ring on it. Those guys had seriously never heard the words 'Health and Safety'. There is another DVD worth getting - Derek Bell doing the Ring ina Porker 956 - In Car 956 I think it's cxalled. Fifth fastest ever lap or something.... Also awesome. Nice post Ian.
