So before the ‘76 German GP there was one specific concern by Lauda and some of the other drivers about the Nurburgring that often gets lost in history. The main concern they had was the organizer’s ability to effectively manage the circuit to GP standards of the time- which they just couldn’t. The Ring needed 5 times more marshals and safety personnel than any of the other GP’s on the calendar- and the organizers simply were not able or willing to organize that- it was extremely expensive. It’s just really hard to organize an international motor race on a circuit of that size and length. As for Lauda’s accident it took 5 to 6 minutes for marshals and emergency services to get to the accident scene, as opposed to now where it is mandated that there are emergency services within 30 seconds of any incident, which is why other drivers stopped to get Lauda out of his burning Ferrari. 5 to 6 minutes can mean the difference between life and death, and for poor old Lauda it so very nearly meant death.

There's a reason why legend's and some people called the circuit track as a green hell circuit because of the layout itself..

The clip of Daniel screaming with the exactly just fit perfectly, it's scary how long safety wasn't a thing in Motorsport

That’s where Jann mardenboroug’s crash was at nordschliefe where man did a full backflip into the fence and killed a spectator

i found your videos about an hour ago. watched 2 of your vids including this one and that was enough for me to sub :D keep up the great work and video making. im very much looking forward to your future projects

Bravo sir Good video #2 of yours ive seen in past 20 mins 🏎️🏁🏆

03:02 FYI thats not Foxhole. Its the section from "Wehrseifen - Breidscheid - Exmühle" right before the "Lauda Left" where Niki Lauda had his accident

Give me 1 good reason why the Nürburgring shouldn’t be added back to the calendar, I’ll be checking all comments as usual. 🫡

Good videos bro keep up the content

the nürburg track reminds me of Bathurst, Australia’s most famous track, the fox hole makes me think of the dipper

Epic, new subscriber...

Now, i understood why James May HATES the Nürburgring...

Dangerous? Yes. Challenging? Yes. Thrilling? Yes. Legendary? Yes. But worst? Absolutely not, not when we've put up with and been bored by Bahrain, Magny-Cours, Caesers" Palace, Sochi, Detroit, Barcelona, Nivelles, Indianapolis, Phoenix, Shang-Hai, Zeltweg, Red Bull Ring, Yas Marina, Hungaroring.....

Lauda's 'rear suspension failure' which caused him to instantaneously lose control of his Ferrari 312-T2 happened just BEFORE the 'right hander' turn known as 'Bergwerk', not 'at Bergwerk'. The section, shortly after the right-hand corner ' Ex Muhle', is a fast uphill straight followed by a 'fast left-hand kink' and then to a straight that runs to Bergwerk, is now called 'Lauda Linksknick', or, 'Lauda Left Kink." That, is where he spun off the straightaway just before the lefthand 'kink' and smashed into the Armco barrier, and then spun back onto and down the track, before being hit by American F1 driver Brett Lunger and another car, of whom ALL jumped out to save Lauda from burning to death. They all must have remembered what happened to Roger Williams at Zandvoort, and weren't gonna let that happen on that hot August day in 1976, at Nurburgring. As it was, that was the LAST Formula 1 race ever held at the Nordschleiffe. It would take more money than anyone is willing to pay for that track to ever be brought up to even F1 standards of 1976, let alone 2024. But what an awesome sight that would be, if they ever did, huh? But then again, the 'history' of the old Nordschleiffe would be forever changed, and I don't think most people would want to see that happen.

8:00 they named it European and Luxemburg GP due to the rule that no country was allowed to have two GP in one year - so they always had to have another name due to Hockenheim being in there

14 + miles for 1 lap takes a real man to be able to handle ! Awesome show . That is what the Spectators want ! $+skill = speed I say go for it !

was the spectator that passed away involved in that Jann Mardensborough crash?

Please stop with the beeping sounds. It's so annoying, especially for headphone users

... but it's so satisfying if you get a lap right. I love "the green hell".

This is not a video in witch I should laugh the entire time, but as a German there are not many things more funny than you pronouncing all this German words😂

2015 in a gt class, Jann Madenburough had his Nissan go up into the air and had one massive crash, killing one spectator. I only know this because of the movie Grand Turismo

That and Watkins Glen

This channel gives off what culture vibes

My favourite track to race in video games, but would not want to race it in a F1 car in the 50s to 90s.

Fuel will go mad. Drivers might not able to finish the entire race?

Excelent

1:22 a liitle war😂😂😂

6:12 That’s not Andy Gehrmann, that crash shown was Jann Mardenboroug

It's not the question, why this track is so dangerous. It's, how all other tracks can be so safe

It's the car equivalent of the Isle of Man circuit

Statisticallly 47-50 was worse (3.67 deaths/year) relative to 50-75 (1.44 deaths/year)

I’ve always held the opinion that the Nurburgring is a great track for driving, but terrible for racing. If you see the races today held at the Nordschleife, they are excruciatingly boring. What would you expect out of a 14+ mile track with only two real passing zones? It should be viewed as a relic of the past.

9:02 New Nurburgring : The boring ring.

Bruh trying to recreate Jann Mardenborough's crash 2:57.

The best driver to hit the sport Also the best driver to hit the wall, combust and survive*

die Strecke ist genau richtig die Formel 1 ist nicht sicher genug gewesen!

The channel is really high quality but the "apple/iphone avatar" that pops up every now and then really brings it down and ruins it for me, i don't like it at all but maybe that's just my problem lol

1:36 mfers I can fly!

If it took you 10 minutes to practice saying "Pflanzgarten", it will take you about 3 years to be able to pronounce "Nürburg" (the little town with a Burg on top of the Berg.

for the algorithm

Kayalami making a return???

On accident ofc

There was no internet in the 1970s never mind Wikipedia, what's he talking about!

Having driven the circuit and watched the 1976 German Grand Prix at the ‘Ring, I can say I totally disagree with the title you’ve given the track as the Worst F1 track of all time. If you equate danger with how bad a track is, How about Imola, Spa, Jeddah, Suzuka or Monaco? The last time I checked, auto racing, in any car on any track is dangerous. The new Nurburgring circuit qualifies as a bad track, most Herman Tilke tracks are devoid of character or challenge. If racing scares you, don’t do it, any track can take a life in the blink of an eye.

I love it when non Germans try to say German words

1:21 bro said "little war"...

💀

1:35 👀 👄

So, just saying as this might sound crazy but Wikipedia, nor the INTERNET was even in existence. So yeah they could not have searched that info... lol just saying... the internet is still only a few decades old.... lol

"Nordsleife" ... jesus.. you know that Google Translate can pronounce it for you, right?

'Promo sm'

F1 is dead now.

The Isle of Man TT “yawn” 😂

Glory for ever OLD NURBURGRING, and OLD HOCKENHEIM ,circuits for a very very greats drivers , not for hearts of chiken ..only for braves ,and exellent mens 🏆

European tracks>boring middle east ones
