  • 200 mph on such skinny rubber... those drivers must have needed porters to carry their gonads.

  • Rosemeyer died at ~271mph not 250mph .. in his first run he reached 433km/h and toped the Mercedes record from the morning of the same day of 432km/h.. on the way back he lost controll because of a heavy sidewind. Because Rosemeyers run was incomplete Mercedes holds even today the record for the fastest speed ever driven on a public road with 432km/h since 1938!!!!!

    Befor F1 the race were simple called Grand Prix races..

  • wow they had to slide around the corners with these monsters? these guys had some serious balls i wish i had a time machine to go see at least one lap! =)

  • nunca fue igualada la puesta a punto del motor..los componentes no son los mismos,al parecer el carburador del restaurado no es igual o no tiene las piezas originales...el original permitia un buen arranque cuando estaba lo suficientemente caliente..v 16..unos 570 hp

  • THE UNION CAR..320 a 340 kmh..0 a 60 en unos 4.5 seg

  • @searcherboy No helmet, no seat belt, no air-bag and no roll-bar would ever help in a crash at 270 mph.

    In fact, it wouldn't even help at 70 mph really. Most crashes occur at significantly lower speeds, where (and only there!) those safety measures are effective.

  • Huge engines, high speed, skinny tires. No helmets, no roll bars. No wonder so many of the drivers were killed.

  • @gumby1008 world's first drifters

  • 1:12 is just awesome!

  • @nagmashot bernd rosemeyer had balls like water melons

  • love the way it has a steering wheel like a bus and they are drifting them on skinny tires

  • And these cars were designed using a slide rule, no computers.
