  1. Most men would only dream of driving like that a Yellowbird and hope to come out of that experience alive.

  2. To drive on that track, with a rear wheel drive car that quick is insane. To drive a car with the majority of the weight hanging off the rear axle, thats suicide. My god now thats driving!

  3. it’s like the car is just another extension of his body.

  4. this guy’s insane, i never seen anyone drive like that hahaah.

  5. that’s one experienced driver hah.

  6. My hero. :’)

  7. I think the Germans invented drifting with their 911´s

  8. AMAZING HANDLING ABILITIES!

  9. i dont know who the driver is,but hes got skills drivin a powerful RR car on the Nordschleife without killin himself and the car..GOOD SHIT: )

  10. @fredg1974 its not mate, its sideways stefan

  11. @Teqnik777 My father once said that ‘i don’t know’ is not an acceptable answer.

    At the time I didn’t know.

    Then i learnt that saying ‘I have no knowledge of these matters“ is a better way of saying nothing

  12. ONCOMING!

  13. The driver is CHUCK NORRIS

  14. It’s Walter Rohrl ! ! ! ! ! ! !

  15. @3nasacova jesus fucking christ shut the fuck up will ya? im watching throogh like 5 pages of commentaryes and all i see is you bashing the driver and his techniques.. just shut up.. or Go and drive a „yellow bird“ on the nurbungring faster of sharper than this guy. It a fucking RR porsche 911 CTR. its how it handles!!

  16. lousy driver

  17. he must have a large „you-know-what“

  18. Loose Is Fast

  19. There are two simple rules for you fellas out there that think driving fast is cool.

    I mean right on the limit or your ability and your car’s ability.

    The first is be prepared to die for your efforts.

    For every Idiot out there that thinks they won’t die doing this, there are ten in the ground that have actually attempted it.

    You will probably get away with this once, maybe heaps of times, but you will fuck it up eventually and kill someone.

    So, who do you want do die?

    You or a stranger?

  20. @McLarenMercedes Hitler ordered the Beetle be built, and he fixed it’s face.(Ferdinand Porsche designed the original Beetle, but with an ugly front end. (The front of the Beetle we know today Hitler himself designed)

    So while we’re fucking around with facts lets mention a couple that people need may find interesting.

    Tell me I’m incorrect about this MR McLaren.

  21. At some stage in the proceedings someone must find the time to mow the grass beside this track.

    Wouldn’t it be a daunting task riding a 15hp mower with this shit careering past.

    And you know it wouldn’t be long before the fella on the mower gets the taste for speed.

    Before long he will be drifting that grass mowing contraption where it should’t be drifting.

  22. This video cuts just when something bad has the potential to happen.

    I know I’ve only done this track on GT5 , but trust me cornering at full nah nah’s has it’s risks.

    Unlike GT5 however, where you can burn rubber without consequence, this ace has been scrubbing down his tires for the entire lap, making the shit that may be about to happen all the more likely.

  23. @McLarenMercedes I’d bet the VW Beetle and the Fiat 500 would pull some mean lap times on the Nurburgring.

    The reason for my comment is that it is a bad idea putting the engine at the back of a sports cars, as Chevrolet found with the Corvair. The rest don’t count because they weren’t powerful enough to cause problems.

    You can see the problem with this configuration in the video. Arse happy would be a good way of putting it.

    Oh and the Skoda i referring to was my old neighbors rust bucket.

  24. @3nasacova

    Porsche actually DID try to retire the rear engined 911 in the 70′s and started making front engined cars, like the 928 and the underrated 944. Those were a bit too „civilized“ for the traditional Porsche buyer. Anyway the front engined 928 with its smooth and powerful V8 was a grand tourer which won several awards and loyal buyers.

    Again you know nothing. „Ugly and gutless“. I’ve read old magazines from the 80′s in which some testers loved the pushrod engine in the Skoda Rapide.

  25. @3nasacova

    Tatra (aircooled V8) put the motor in the back from the 30′s to the 90′s.They were indeed ahead of time in the 30′s, so much so that is argued they played a huge influence in the design for the Volkswagen Beetle.

    Most manafactured car in the world, VW Type 1 (Beetle) had the engine in the rear. As did NSU, Fiat 500, Chevrolet Corvair (a dangerous and bad car).

    Oh, so the rear engined Skoda was gutless? They did rather well in rallies in the 70′s and early 80′s.

    You know nothing

  26. 3:22 Imagine if they’d rolled over. :/

  27. 1:49 da miedooo

  28. Great to see this film ! so many rear engined cars proving the pendulum principle on cornering… VW Beetles, Renault R8, NSU Printz, Porsche and even Fiat. In forty years time a couple of generations on will be laughing at all our new high tech cars of today.

  29. Road holding and stability and suspensions were crap at that time…. Looks like these people don`t learn from their mistakes ..

  30. People magically appear around your car when you crash at Nurburgring!!

  31. 1:52 ahahahahhahahaha

  32. @leonthalion
    * beetle

  33. 3:22 a convertable bettle…. darwin award in the making.

  34. 1.52 lmao

  35. die im käfer cabrio hatten ja mal sowas von glück!!

  36. I sometimes mess up on that corner in gran turismo 5 lol

  37. DaMMM CLASSIC

  38. Irre, wie ´70 die Autos auseinandergeflogen sind. Der Eine fällt nur bei einem Dreher schon ausm Auto…. Gurte??

    OMG

  39. And 40 years later, they still can’t drive better..
    Okay, less Rollover but still many crashes

  40. Very funny when he gets thrown out of the beetle.

  41. @RiderOnRing Did I ever said that!? Nope, COME ON!…. read.

  42. @Synetearis first VW Golf/Rabbit also dosen´t have seatbelt, or the VW Polo 1. only with option. so why should every bug have seatbelts in the 60´s and 70´s?? because your car has got them? come on!!

  43. Why do so many people crash at this corner?

  44. This is such an awesome video. Thank you to the uploader, can I ask what exactly this is from? Just a track day with quite alot of spectators or?

  45. Wahnsinn diese alten Aufnahmen zu sehen!

  46. Thank you for this Historic Material !!!!
    and to @synetearis : in this Cars it was often better to fall out of it before the final impact.

  47. @Synetearis even at 1:10 the right side window doesn’t just shatter, driver head hits window.

  48. @heniadir I find it funny, he just gets back up after the crash and is like ‘ok, what do I do now’ :)

  49. Mad … was this all on the same day?

    I wouldn’t have liked to have been in that open-top beetle if it had flipped.

  50. Love the guy who manages to open his door and fall out mid-crash.
