Nurburgring Nordschleife 1970s: The Green Hell
3,255
Have you ever wondered why the Nurburgring Nordschleife is also known as The Green Hell? In case you did, watch this video shot back in the 1970s. This was a time when racing was a truly dangerous activity. There were no roll cages, no helmets, no 6-point harnesses and no fireproof suits. The cars had no traction control systems, no powersteering and no power brakes. The drivers had just four wheels, a steering wheel, some talent, and balls the size of the moon.
