Great vid, someone linked it to the track forum at BF.c the other day.
Fun to see the three 2002's (1600's?) at once, and the Bavaria overshoot the corner completely.

Makes you wonder if they were wrecking the cars on purpose!

I didn't get any sound. Was there any? Interesting video none the less. I enjoy watching old racing around the 70s-80s. A lot more entertaining.

[parkerbink]

Who is more crazy? The drivers or onlookers on the side of the track?


Cool video.

Sweet. Did you notice how much they were flopping around in those cars?
Lap belts FTL...

[chucko]

^^yeah, takes me back to being a kid when we used to ride in the open bed of a truck without any restraint at all.

[etxxz]

lol notice that one convertible beetle with two people on the back...i woul've lol'dlmf if they would've flipped like nearly every other car who tried drifting jaja

[YAN-3]

wow cool nice find.

[FredK]

I like the black Mercedes (?) that just goes straight instead of turning, near 3:20 in the film.

But yeah, that guy falling out of the Beetle was just ridiculous!

[german g]

and then they all joined a full contact American-football game, sans helmets of course!

This really makes me want to start on my VW project i've been dreaming about. The lack of safetly makes tham seem way too fun. A 67 bug would be perfect. Any leads on some rust free, unflipped ones. HA
Cool Video thanks for sharing.
