Nurburgring Adenauer Forst Crashes '70

[jonessg3]

Who in their right mind wants to try and race a VW Beetle - possibly the most atrociously handling popular car of the last 70 years.

[pablocamarotte]

1:52 What about seat belt?

3:22 Are they crazy?

3:31 scary

3:37 Violent!

3:51 Ridiculous

[357CUI]

Swingaxle vs nurburgring 0-1

[randomeddy]

I thought the guy on the bike at 0:58 was funny,but the beetle chucking the driver out is just hilarious.

[MDF0815]

1:02

He´s a rally driver...

[EccentricRichard]

Anyone else notice a theme emerging of combinations of air-cooled rear-mounted engines and swing-axle rear suspension? Mind you, it's not just the Krauts, there are quite a few other rear-engined cars here...

[Dodo251]

3:22 Imagine if they'd rolled over. :/

[grc020696]

1:49 da miedooo

[CRS1964]

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.

[warrisking]

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

[romefox]

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

[mrmootheirrev]

1:52 ahahahahhahahaha

[leonthalion]

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

[leonthalion]

@leonthalion

* beetle

[FuckTheLawNiggas]

1.52 lmao

[DummkopfRadar]

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

[KillYouds]

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

[pushitrecords]

DaMMM CLASSIC



[1977VanillaSky]

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

OMG



[ScheisseBernd]

And 40 years later, they still can't drive better..

Okay, less Rollover but still many crashes

[randomeddy]

Very funny when he gets thrown out of the beetle.

[randomeddy]

Why do so many people crash at this corner?

[RawrItzBen]

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?

[schraxxi]

Wahnsinn diese alten Aufnahmen zu sehen!

[kalleebner]

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.

[leach1527]

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.

[uncontrollablelaugh]

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

[TheFlyingPineapple]

Wow! Cars those days where really quiet!

[rock3tcat]

I love 70's cars! :D

[McLarenMercedes]

Gotta love those NSU's. Rear engined and quite a bit of a handful in inexperienced hands.

This video also proves that a lot of drivers tend to overrate their own driving ability and the ability of their cars too, is nothing new. In 1968 or 1969 twice as many Americans died in traffic than their soldiers in Vietnam.

[VpaUP]

1:50 Looolllll ahhaha ^^

[stofouille]

looooool 1:50 !!!!!

[progressive19]

der käfer bei 1:50 is so lustig^^

[352438543]

@progressive19 ja man bei dem hab ich mich kaputt gelacht wie der aus dem wagen fliegt xD

[SuperBijoux]

2:38 is that a dacia 1100

[4181alan]

brilliant

[gallvic7mx]

Those were the days

[Statimtek]

The 3 2002's looked almost staged, like at a stunt show.LOL

[lethalsub]

Which corner is this?

[heniadir]

@lethalsub Can you read the title?

[lethalsub]

@heniadir Of course I can, I realised the title referred to the corner only after posting the comment. I am not an erudite racing enthusiast (which I think you assumed I was), neither am I fluent in German. I actually thought Adenauer Forst is or was a person (perhaps this is also correct).

[SuperBijoux]

imagine that guy form 1:52 in a pub with his friends telling them his track day

"i've lost control of my car in a corner and started to spin wildly out of.......my car"

[mrcelorapa]

0:57 Ooooops!!!

[Razor1627]

Hhahha 1:51 LoL :D

[GottfriedvonCramm]

nice way to get out of a car at 1:48

[jackulrich]

70ties wass für eine Zeit.... Draufgänger.... unerschrocken waren wir.... guck nur den Typ bei 1:50 .... Wo gibt's das heute schon?

[Fugettaboutit]

It's like watching a bunch of drunks exiting a frat party.

[Synetearis]

1.50... thats just stupid not wearing your seatbelt on the ring?!? even though its the 70's in a piece a crap car... (no hate to bugs, but structually its not strong, and safety is mainly the driver I know.. I got a piece a shit car aswell :) )

[heniadir]

@Synetearis '70 and seatbelt ROTFL...

[Synetearis]

@heniadir I have seatbelts in my 70's crapper :) No option came stock :)

[heniadir]

@Synetearis Good for you.

[Synetearis]

@heniadir Yep :)

[baishengren]

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

[ErinParkScion]

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

[RiderOnRing]

@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!!

[Synetearis]

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

[Mawerick77]

It seems that at 1:09 the driver actually fell out of the car! Or did he?

[TheMarlboroman73]

Ach ist schon komisch wie Zeit sich verändert damals haben sie nicht so blöd geklascht und gelacht da haben alle angepackt und geholfen wenn ein Unfall passiert ist ich sage ja die Gesellschaft stumpft ab. geiles Video ;-)

[Greenfighter67]

@TheMarlboroman73 da muß ich dir recht geben das die gesellschaft immer mehr abstumpft.nur damals waren halt nur keine zaun und alle konnten noch auf die stecke gehen und helfen was heute nich mehr möglich ist,des wegen lachen und gröllen die leute so blöd.wenn da kein zaun wäre würde der ein oder ander schon helfen.

[xsaab93x]

@TheMarlboroman73

Absolut richtig. Nur noch Pfeifen in der heutigen "Gesellschaft". Die Rasse der Dummbeutel ist bald durch Medien und Regierung richtig geformt.

Anstand und Ehre? WAS IST DAS? lol

[lolahavasuaz]

Robbie Gordon driving @1:05 ha ha lol

[powwerranger]

lots of vintage Bimmers bringin some heat. thats what i like to see!

[Gottalifeinme]

1.50 HAHAHAHAHHAHA xDDD

[evofreak1304]

amazing how easily cars flipped back in the days 

[dpitd]

1.50 Herbie goes apeshit.

[kyberforce]

funny the majority seem to be rear engined

[simcaP60fan]

no wonder everybody crashes there everybody else has crashed there too xD

[sicwhitt]

some classic footage 

[PhobosMD]

So viele Käfer die da rumfahren :-D

[oschnarb]

1:30 you can buy a porsche, but you can't buy skillzzzzz :)

[aleLESO87]

3:24 So crazy

[lalumla]

Ein hoch auf die Technik heute Dreht man sich nurnoch, damals hat man sich verdamt leicht Überschlagen.

[Szoszt]

kraftferk - autobahn



[Ascender2306]

Oh Mann wie Krass... das waren die 70er. Mann, Mann, Mann... dass die sich nicht alle den Hals gebrochen haben. Da gab es eben noch kein ABS, und kein ESP, abgesehen davon das die Fahrwerke total beschissen waren und die Autos übergewicht durch Stahlkarossen hatten. Und dann hatten die meißten noch nichtmal Sicherheitsgurte, und wenn doch, dann wurden diese nicht benutzt, wie man bei 1:50 eindrucksvoll sieht. Auweia...

[LitterboxDiorama]

The hippies heard they were giving out free dope at the finish line

[22057Andy]

super geiles video!!!Ich suche dieses video schon seit einer Ewigkeit!Meines wissens nach,heißt es "Rapsody in Blech"!Kann mir einer sagen wo ich dieses Video kaufen kann????

[girolmskezmupeit]

the music!?!?!?!? =)

[iskander616]

1:50 no seat belt

[bakinek]

heh trabant in the end

[TIX74]

Totally insane at 3:25!! They could be killed!!!

[danap1981]

1:50 - herbie goes bananas!

[LuxeXx]

I'd also hope that after this day, drivers were warned about entering this section of the course.

[LuxeXx]

I love this fucking video. 1:50 is pretty wild. I didn't know a bug could do that!

[MrJumper68]

Most of the cars are rear whel drive+ enginen in the back, that says it all

[redletterchurch]

Safety has come a long way - hasn't it? No rollbars. No helmets. No seatbelts. No brains. No worries.

[glomfjord2]

heahea cars back then really wasnt made for racing :ppp

[pakkinen]

1:50 it would be funny to see the guy explaining all the scratches on his face and body:

well, I went into a corner too fast and falled off the...car

crazy stuff :D

[peacock211blue]

1:52 ＼(^o^)／　ｳｹﾙ

[PORMEDES]

Shit happens. Der Typ der aus seinem Käfer fliegt. :-O

[mmicha]

wahnsinn, damals noch mit fensterglas in den scheiben und ohne sicherheitsgurt!

[bernhardtsen74]

corner of demolition!

[Leftherakis]

1:50 < hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahaha .. omggg .. hahahahahaha ..!

[krayzeejojo]

Those cars could really benefit from either coilovers or a rear sway bar lol

[waveman1500]

@krayzeejojo Coilovers? These are standard road cars, and it's the year 1970!

[krayzeejojo]

@waveman1500: The "lol" in my post indicated it was a joke. I already knew coilovers didn't exist back then.

[nigave]

What's the common factor with about 90% of these cars ? Rear engines. Too tail happy in a tight corner.

[fifficus]

so viel zum thema elchtest xD

[redtail5]

is that a 2002 at 0:37?

[Fuchs1337]

man sollte doch meinen so ne gefährliche kurve spricht sich rum... aber nein 4:01 minuten von dummen autofahrern...

[Kazuya720]

@Fuchs1337 : stell dir vor, die Leute fliegen 40 Jahre später, an genau der gleichen Kurve immer noch raus ;)

[Brownyy123]

Geniale Bilder!

Der Motorradfahrer am anfang, wie er den Sturz sensationell abfängt!

Oder der Käferfahrer, der aus der Karre purzelt.

Und der Orangene TT Fahrer wollte es zu anfang auch mehrmals wissen.

Danke für die tollen Bilder!

[hansiipansii]

einfach der wahnsinn... aber man sieht auch um wieviel sicherer die autos geworden sind. die meisten überschläge wären heute wohl eher ein leichtes bis mäßiges übersteuern

[lambchopxoxo]

geeze cars were made like crap then. and lol @ dilbert-mobiles!

[lambchopxoxo]

look at those little bimmers!

[Tuppoo94]

1:51 lolz

still glad that he made it through alive

[mrspivvy]

textbook example of the handling limitations of the VW swing axle suspension

[KlunkerRider]

Incredible! they actually let any Joker with no speed training drive their Dilbert-mobiles at top speed around this monster of a course???? Incredible!!! Where to I sign up LOL

[ThePeeler18]

ohne ton.... schade

[luede27]

Heutzutage würde man solche Menschen wohl als "Nerds" bezeichnen! Wie kann man den bitte mit einem vollgepackten Käfer-Cabrio auf der Nordschleife auf Rundenjagd gehen? Das war schon eine verrückte Zeit...

[TheGrandmarquisv8]

bei 1:15 schlägt der mit seinem Kopf die Scheibe ein? aua!

[BKstunner94]

3:25 ein überschlag wäre bitter gewesen

[yourmamasdick]

Also mein Favorit steigt bei 1.51min lässig mit seinem topmodischen orangenen Rolli (stützt den Hals ---> Safety first !) aus seinem Käfer, denkt sich "Na zum Glück hab ich nicht abgeschlossen..." und steigt einfach wieder ein...

DAS ist Coolness..looool

[jakem1900]

LMAO 1:50

[yourmamasdick]

Apropos Fortschritt, die haben recht früh eingeführt, dass man das mit "F" schreibt und hinten mit einem zweiten "T" tuned ;-P

[furtzknochen]

haha keine ahnung was da los war bei mir .... vielen dank is ja grausam

[yourmamasdick]

Hehe...immerhin biste nicht sauer über meine Klugscheißerei, dafür dank ich ;-)

[harrychronikjr]

the people in the convertible @3:20 are nuts.

never in a million would i want to be a passenger in a vert. beetle on the ring

[TheSheepherd]

...aber die Krönung sind die Jungs (und Mädels?) im Käfer Cabrio...

[TheSheepherd]

Der erste Biker haatte ja mal die Hammer-Linie, lol...

[Erisch73]

...ein paar von den Karren, die da zerlegt wurden hätte ich heute gerne...

[323touring]

wie der kerl bei 1:50 aus dem käfer purzelt ist echt mit das geilste was ich je gesehen habe!

[MrLowAltitude]

0:57 Woohoo... Lucky guy!

[weewoodeal]

lol that part at 57 im still laughing ahah

[MrLowAltitude]

Ye, it's so funny. He's like: Damn, too fast. Ok, let's go straight... :P

[nuvolari3]

Staggering to see how easy those cars start rolling after a small mistake...

And safetybelts are a great safety device!

[wonskee]

1:50...

[ysman007]

Great Vid! Like it where the Beetle throws out the driver! lol

[SakoTGrimes]

I'm so glad none of the 2002s crashed, that would have been painful to watch.

[justy2714]

2002 tii!!!!

[karlo123qwertz]

Jetzt weiß ich warum es so wenige vw käfer noch gibt ! die tollen autos ! schade

[cobracon13]

HAHA 1:50

[natzg85]

3;22 shit dude ..... if that car fliped 4 ppl would of die there...... as you can see its an up hill so the drivers dont know if the road goas straight or has a curve... but dont they suppost to know the track though?....

[trucker11686]

lol great video. Silly VWs, Beetles arent for racing! The guy falling out of the Beetle was the best. Funny though, how with all the rollover clips in this video and lack of safety standards back then, how all the drivers managed to walk away.

[newforestroadwarrior]

@trucker11686 possibly the sequences involving injuries or fatalities weren't included for reasons of taste. The people in the soft-top Beetle were very, very lucky.

[rallycircuit]

1.50 THE BEST!!!

[BurkatorBurkator]

d'accord! :))

[danygt82]

1:50 ahahahahahahahahahahhahhahahaa­hahaaa

[janmethner]

Bei 1:04....der Typ fährt irgenwie genauso wie ich manchmal in NFS Shift auf der Nordschleife ;)

3:10 ist auch geil....er kippt um und klettert seelenruhig aus seinem Käfer *lol*

[TheChoosenOn3]

Plan B... anstatt Abwrackprämie demnächst Jeder 2 Gratis Runden Nordschleife kurbelt die Konjunktur an und macht Spass...

[janmethner]

@TheChoosenOn3

Auf jeden Fall....da unterschreib ich doch glatt! Nur sollte ich den Behörden besser nicht sagen, dass ich ab und an rFactor und Shift zocke...sonst lassen die mich nicht umsonst auf die Nordschleife...nach dem Motto: "Der fährt sein Auto ja eh nicht kaputt" ;)

[klassiekerrallydotnl]

Damn swing axles...

[scittball]

craaazy mofos at 3:24

[Camtoo]

lol at 1:06

"wait.. that was a corner back there?"

[1339LARS]

Crappy cars, or crappy drivers, or both??

[StefanLoudFilm]

schöne qualitative Aufnahme mit vielen Totalschäden, mein lieber Schwann die VW´s legts ganz schön oft aufs Dach oder sie drehn sich um die Achse.

[WTCHME]

3:21..... If that rolled, lots of dead people.

[elettrolanzo]

1.50 the best one......so crazy.

[DagobertDrug]

oh i laughed my ass off when i saw that dude tumbling out of his car! :D

[MrTheLightningDark]

@elettrolanzo

looooooooooooool

[seboufdu59]

@elettrolanzo OMG !! 1:50 is so funny. LMAO

[walliwabbel]

@elettrolanzo they just didn't have seatbelts in that car at that time... i also drive a fiat 500 '69... i dont have any seatbelts :P

[luftkraftwerk]

Zum Glück hat sich das Käfer Cabrio nicht überschlagen... Coole Aufnahme

[alexcivicej9]

krazy

[eltiburon2005]

Käferkillerkurve

[DarthWeede]

3:22 hätte verdammt übel ausgehen können ... da war der sensenmann wohl grad bier holen :)

[LhodaKblerz]

This is taken from a film called Spiel Mir Das Lied Von 'Ring. It is about 30mins long and was not shot all in one day. The cameraman went to the 'ring most weekends to film, it must have been quite expensive in those days before video. There are one or two scenes in the full film that are quite frightening, particularly when it looks like there are kids in the cars.

[mickyhunt]

LMFAO @ 1.50

[bassfeile]

So many NSU - Prinz ! I want it back again.

It's good to see this.

Thank you

[nachtegael9]

1:49 is so funny!

[flamoxkiller]

ja jach. da oben iss das immer so...jeder 3. macht da den abflug. aber heute nicht mehr mit überschlag :)

[Veee6]

Alles crshes am gleichen Tag, ohhhh mannn !!

[DJVADO17]

[therallyfan]

1:50 nice outfits XD

[dfrojas]

Very lucky on 3:24, the death was just waiting.

[drc911]

yes in a convertible is very dangerous to do that

[xsoumi1978]

very nice video

[suspendingdisbelief1]

Ahhh, the romanticism of the track day.

[kazimann]

Could have done with a bit of sound / music.

[heniadir]

This is not a video clip.

[kazimann]

Looks like a video clip to me, as is all the videos on Youtube.....
