absolutely the best grand prix held in germany! the battle between these two superstars rindt and ickx, lotus and ferrari
in a time of real tracks, cars extremely difficult to drive, and last but not least the most beautifull car in formula 1 history with the lotus - ford 72 in the colors of gold leaf. this is real formula 1 racing. and as you post, speeder76, unforgetable!

This is the very essence of motor racing.

The wanker who decided it would be a good idea to chop and hack this beautiful circuit up should be found, hung drawn and quartered then sliced and diced and feed to the pigs.

Looking at this footage, which I am thankful for, 40 years after I attended this event, I see that Rindt and his Lotus had the measure of Ickx and Ferrari. They were tied together, yes, but Rindt was always going to lead at the time of his choosing. From the concrete infield stands (where I had slept the night before) it seemed a tossup and was as exciting a duel as I have ever seen.
I find the Ferrari flat 12 in this, its original form, to be the most beautiful racing car ever.

@68larSkate Thanks for that.
-
mmh ok, but the chicanes weren´t there at that time, i´m sure ^^. They built the first chicane in the near of clarks accident and than they called it clark chicane.
-
@68larSkate Thanks for that, but a few books say he came off just before a right hand bend.
-
no corner, he died on the first straight in the forest, he crashed in the trees. At that time there were no chicanes, they built them after the dead of clark.
