Crashes at Nurburgring

[TubeArgo]

People are actually helping ... a rare picture.

[Andy22031991]

0:57 - very lucky ;)

[inigarcia]

That must be funny: "oh, no!!!! the 25 bhp of my beetle makes the car oversteer every time I step on the gas!!"

[mushroomed87]

0:10 wooooah!

[sachamun]

1:51 he must have accidentally pressed F

[TheCalvertz]

@sachamun hahahaha

[GSXRNissan]

Das Cabrio bei 3:25 hat ja nochmal Glück!

[toblertwo]

Who decides to take a VW Beetle to Nurburgring?

That's like racing Minis at Silverstone. 

[eamh2002]

I had to watch that 1:50 part 4 times :D I think the suspension in old cars is safer than new ones, come on.

They dont flip from touching a curb, they just keep on wobbling and no problemo :)

[concatena]

lol they have a lot of stuffs inside the cars! (clothes, bags, papers..) The best is the convertible at 3:22 with all the family members inside lol!

[evaristoood]

i think the older cars is more strong than today!!!

[mperink]

Eles aprenderam a fazer isso no vídeo game!!

[dustziggy]

3:22 what the hell where they thinking? There's just no help for some people without brains

[jereisluke]

@dustziggy Seriously, if they rolled that convertible, they'd all be flat-headed.

[CboDavid]

1:51 jajajajaajajaaj XD

[CTSV4MEE]

0:58 looks like me on gt5

[mikosgp]

OMG... cars were made by paper and chewing-gum!!!!!

[clkgrt]

1:51 get off me

[JAMTVEEE]

At 3:28 the w114 just completely flies off the track...Im glad my w115 wont go any faster than 70!

[BILLYnKAREN]

I think Dick Dastardly had a hand in this :)

[toodsf1]

1:49 Oh crap, bail!

[Lazerecho]

If any more beetles rolled without incident you'd swear this a VW advert.

[lynolupetti]

detail...look the documents flying away in the second car...so funny

[neisharie]

@ 1:22 I nearly chocked at food.. Haha!

[ghostfr3ak1]

1:49 herbie!!!!!!

[psych0tic1]

It all looks kind of cuddly and not reeeally dangerous. ;)

[Daft0Shifty]

Leaf springs are the SHIT!

[PurpleCashew]

that 1st motorbike ftw

[daoli1994]

1:04 Professional shortcut :D

[ps3specter]

Lots of Beetles wiping out.

[eqler]

No health and safety at all! :)

No seatbelts, 4 people in a convertible LOL

[Compufreak816]

This is why we need old beetles in Forza 4

[TheWerehog4ever]

Adenauer Forst. gotta love that turn

[handsofjade]

They should rename this to, "How to roll a Volkswagen."

[LaMusiqueetlabeat]

omfg 4 ppl in a cabriolet. 3:19 this was awfully close. bet the driver wanted to impress the girls. :-D

[BILLYnKAREN]

@LaMusiqueetlabeat I bet the driver wanted to hange his underpants!!!!!

[BILLYnKAREN]

@LaMusiqueetlabeat I bet the driver wanted to change his underpants!!!!!

[KDCW3534A]

Lol, nice example of a load of shit drivers

[CSSCaptainTripps]

1:51 Best one

[trosc]

Benny Hill music *ON*

[riveroobando]

beatle GT3·RS

[MitchTheBoss]

My favourite one is at 1:50 when the guy pops out of the car and brushes himself off and gets back in...

[97d90]

good mornig, I'm here with the Top Gear crew.

[SherryZProductions]

Top gear sent me

[MrFLViewer]

they crash, flip & spin and just keep driving...nowadays you already have to call the nurburgring emergency hotline when u even touch the curbs :-)

[Takala99]

These guys had balls... seriously

[thlvltwlv]

Chuck Norris stole the sound of this video....

[darrencol]

1:50 that car is herbie!

[Menog85]

Questa curva non s'a da fare

[thlvltwlv]

@Menog85 Questa curva non s'ha da fare....

[darrencol]

LMAO at 0:57

[Kirtsky1]

What section is this?

[brianpis]

1:52 - Who rofl-ed? *hands in the air*



[richgilb]

3:24 - That's the dumbest group of people I've ever seen.

[StudioGoldsmith]

Such.... Wide... Trouser... Legs....

[djtimwright]

So people in the 70s couldn't drive, but at least they tried.

[wygram]

1:50 - that's one of the more extreme reasons of why you wear a seatbelt...

[francescodjdj]

a 1:50 viene sbalzato fuori ahah

[verbiergreenprius]

Great seeing so many VW Beetles destroyed.

[Zlin0035]

some of thoes people are just cheating the corner! :o

[Skillbiscutt]

this must be amateur day or something.

[Jeesus353]

1:50 ''GUYS FFS, I've had enough of this, I'm outta here''

[bmwbob86]

@1.49 Rofl loling!

[MYoung13579]

Brilliant how everyone just steps out of their cars and dusts themselves off as if nothing has happened.

[Johnsen2012]

Gotta love the person that flew out of the car's door, got up right away, and got back in like it happens all the time.

[Industrialunittolet]

OMG that woman in the beetle who just fell out of it and then got back in and started driving againl ol.

[JippaJ]

I guess opened a lot easier back then!

[66606cl66]

why did so many people drive the ring in beetles? :O

[deztructo123]

beetle flips make me happy

[incognita112]

Oh god. is that on of the turns in the 1st sector ?

[sksfrank]

the curve of the Devil!!!!

[booting2]

how many times did they had to clean this mess up??

[magna59]

Is this a reflection of how badly the beetle / VW rear engine layout handled, or just how many people were happy to throw their daily ride round the track & a lot of them drove VW's ?

[Serckep]

JEEZ! Didn't know that shoe boxes couldn't run so fast. Didnt even know they could run

[x2crazy4shadyx]

1:48 is the best part

[typeratte]

love my xds diff!

[xmbh21x]

The guy that rolls out of the fucking beetle is the best part of this whole video.

[bbak36]

hahahahaa omg.. dude your seat belt!!

[skeeney1000]

how could u crash in cars tht dont even get to 70 :/

[dienkonig33]

@skeeney1000

The motorway speed limit of 70 MPH was introduced in 1965.

One of the documented factors was race car constructors using the M1 as it existed to max their Le Mans GT cars; 220 MPH+

[dienkonig33]

In other words, they go no slower than your fucking nova...

[skeeney1000]

@dienkonig33 i have a ford focus rs 500?

[strassenapoteker00]

all this care are very expensive this time but erlyer they crashed it^^

[EricMFay]

The only thing missing is Benny Hill music



[streetplayerskaceres]

the black mercedes is saying goodbye!!! i found a shortcut!!!!

[CaioSDMF]

look at the 3:21 my family goin out for a ride

[NaurRuan17]

its all on the same turn

[saf768]

thumbs up if top gear sent you here

[toleratetruth]

I stopped breathing when that drop-top beetle came around the corner. Then I started paying more attention to just how many people were in some of those cars. What the heck? Looks like half of those cars were the Griswold family who took a wrong turn on the way to Wallyworld. Haha

[BenLailaBigAdventure]

LMAO guy jumping out of beatle at 1:51. BTW, hope the new beatle is a little more flip resistant.

[BenLailaBigAdventure]

LMAO guy jumping out of beatle. BTW, hope the new beatle is a little more flip resistant.

[raptormaster666]

+1 Ditto to Crispiegee, the convertible was just a no-brainer. However nice save by the guy on the motorbike,

[InternationalConnect]

lol 1:52 - seat belt... use it

[tynerider]

@InternationalConnect

More like Ejector seat lol

[masterpd85]

the guy at 1:04 was smart. The rest -minus the ones in the convertible- who had beetles were tough. Those little cars rolled like tin cans and took no damage.

[PirateCommando]

lol at the guy at 1:04

[acrummey85]

Note that almost every car that spun or flipped was rear engined?!

[Tubesofthenorth]

I can't believe the number of girlfriends/passengers which were daft enough to sit in the back/front without a seatbelt on. Crazy bar stewards.

[ManuGG]

0:58 lol :-D

[SpamWich722]

Beetles WERE harmed in the making of this video.

[eastportland]

That is one bad corner.

[Hughjoyner1]

1:49 thrown out of the car haha

[Hughjoyner1]

1:49 thrown out of the car haha

[TheRazpaljotka]

I would give 7 of my toes up to own one of these cars.

[JordanAcev]

this video was shot before sound was invented apparently.

[xmbh21x]

@JordanAcev I laughed out loud when I read your comment.

[NSW2040]

All of these cars have the engine in the rear....so taking a corner at speed means taking your life in your hands.

[PotholesInMyLawn]

3:21 could have been ugly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SativaR1983]

Lol @ 1.49 Before restraints/safety belts. VW just spit him out.



[SativaR1983]

Lol @ 1.49 Before restraints/safety belts. VW just spit him out.

[kind18cch]

which corner is it?

[wgshooter]

1:07 shortcut!

[macrosfear1]

WTF, was this the first rally EVER??!! Bad driving, no helmets, no seat-belts, it's amazing they weren't all killed. And what's with that dude in the convertible??!!

[bendover91210]

1:50 HOLY SHIT...!! that fella was lucky

[HidroPig]

@ 1:45 there's a smart guy :D

[dazasb]

Crazy 70's..no one was wearing a helmet ! I'd be sh***ing myself if was a passenger in that vw convertable

[idiotman76]

at least no good cars were hurt in the making of this...

[turr520]

Which corner is this?

[EmilGlockner]

Imagine what it must have sound like. Pitty that there isn't any original audio...

[bigboyzback49]

its just a day that they were just allowing Volkswagen on the track in the old days...they would have specific days for certain types of cars...

[Tomseggo]

why are there so many vw beetles?

[bigboyzback49]

@Tomseggo

in the old days they would have certain days for certain makes of cars...

[EmilGlockner]

@Tomseggo: Dunno but wasn't it a cheap car back then? And they were sold in millions as far as I know.

[Duckieboy777]

Can anyone take this corner?

[LionPride15]

I want like every car in this video. I don't care if they have a terribly high center of gravity and really thin tires. I love them. :D

[autoxchris]

wow.... old cars flip over really easy.... lol

[VWSWFC]

why didn't they fit grippy wheels and tyres?

[kleijssen]

@ 3:13 .. is that a DAF approaching??? LOL

[CupOfVinegar]

Are these races or just people driving on the track?

[akaAlexthekid]

@CupOfVinegar just a turn up and drive i think

[PotholesInMyLawn]

@1:52 He was killed by his own car and lived to tell about...

He is The Most Interesting Man In The World.

[MilitantOldLady]

Lesson learned: VW Beatles are fucking dangerous :D

[madturki]

@MilitantOldLady Just their drivers! The roofs on them held up in every rollover unlike some of those cars! Although the guy in the convertible but was just asking to be smushed!

[mjpeeved]

Why did the beetle have to make it???

[WhoWantsSomePussy]

note most crashese are on the same corner :)

[12GBKT]

it's ironic that a biggest part of the crashes are just beetles.

[FEAJathebass1]

2:18 im gonna roll back on my wheels, yaaaay!!! ... oh crap!

[stefangtfour]

understeer, oversteer and roof steer are all shown in 70's cars

[Phlincke]

@TheVasquez112 same thing

[Fuser86]

Oh shit can you imagine the dude in the bettle spider rolling over the car? now those were some kick-ass bettles!!!

[Robinger1983]

NSU, VW Käfer, Typ 3usw.... fast ausschliesslich Fahrzeugen mit Heckmotor wird diese kurve zum verhängnis

[theone2161]

lol whenever someone says thumbs if ______. sent you here i always thumbs it down if not

[PANAHSPASQUALE]

those fuckin' old suspensions could kill u...

[Hot80s]

3:21 + I wouldnt allow the asshole with the volks cabrio onto the track with passengers, it almost got ugly.

This is a really good clip.

[1RadNomad]

Obviously Beetles were designed for long straight autobahns.

[NoThBand]

03:20  ouch. This could have been much worse!!!

[HonestJack]

I first saw this film sat in a hotel in Nürburg... :)

[mmamdouh75]

whats with this damn turn?... seems like everybody is getting it wrong

[LuGu1971]

Das Is Good..

- Crazy Germans.. hehehe Love it !!!

[blueone117]

makes me never want to own a bug

[crispiegee1]

I laughed out loud at the lunatics in the Beetle convertible. They would have all been killed had that thing flipped - what were they THINKING?

[Orvieta]

@crispiegee1 More like WTF was the driver doing?

[Tubesofthenorth]

@crispiegee1 I actually gasped out loud! Lucky son of guns!

[firstpresence]

@crispiegee1 Jesus Christ! I'm with you. Total carnage. Makes you wonder how many died per week i those days.

[MrJumper68]

@firstpresence Alot I think, until the mid 70es, here in Denmark there was no speed limit, and the roads was not as good as now days. The car industri did nothing to make cars safe until the begining of the 80es, because the thought no one would buy them. I don´t now if there are any record of how many died of acidents back then, but you have to compare it with the amount of cars today.

[JippaJ]

@crispiegee1 "it's got a lower center of gravity, so it won't flip" that's what they where thinking! :P

[TheJonoWilliams]

tht biker is one lucky son of a bitch to stay on :P but 1.50 ish in wot a beauty

[NonciclopediaForEver]

i like the way everyone gives a hand when someone flipps or crashes

[grantandbex]

Enough brain injuries to become a Zombie Film

[beermilitia]

anyone know what turn this is?

[MrSkasiu]

Dude at 0:57 rocks.

[CypherX5]

I can't believe that guy fell out of his car!!!

ROFLMAO!!!!! Classic!

[Nblock487]

lol the motorcycle guy at 1:20 watches the beetle flip and then rides off

[d4du88]

Dude! The "drivers" were not using helmet, sit belt, and they try do do some Weekend racing with this family cars?

What a world we live !!!

[SurfinBird1975]

Volkswagen Beetles are tough little cars.

[mhickory]

3:22. almost flips the convertible. just avoided killing 4 people. how stupid can you be

[newc30]

LOL at 1:45 the driver falls out of the Beetle... emergency escape...

[looseroots]

3:10 escape hatch

[DavidMcMahon1]

3:22 very nearly game over!
