Default Nurburgring, when Men were Men...
If you have been to the "ring" you know how scary it can be. Imagine what it was like almost 40yrs ago...

Takes me back.
I still have my model F1 cars from that era.
All four wheels off the ground in an F1 car must have felt seriously hairy

Sometimes I wish I was around to appreciate racing in those days.

Great stuff, my favourite era.

I have this picture on the living room wall of Jackie Oliver in the 1967 Grand Prix at the 'ring.

Wow. Just wow.

And that's why it's my favourite circuit.
