Nurburgring crashes

Post by joose »

I found this clip of crashes at the Nurburgring from the 1970's. There is plenty of comedy handling here courtesy of aircooled VW's :P Why anyone would take a beetle (or any aircooled VW for that matter) to the track is beyond me, but the results are pretty predictable :P

enjoy!

That person who was thrown out of the door of that beetle also came out alright. Luckily that beetle never flipped.
