What I learned:
1: Always wear a seat belt
2: The body of a VW beetle is strong
3: Cars from the 1960's handled poorly (except for Porsche)
4: Some people are idiots.
except for Porsche jaja😁 (btw i own one)
Those cars are from the 1970s not 1960s
@@europainvicta3907 The video is from 1970 so it would be hard to have cars from the 70's.
Your right on every account
@@bigears4014 you’re
After having watched about 20 nurburg ring crash videos ,all with contemporary cars, it's amazing to see that these old cars nearly all tip over, it really demonstrates how much suspension and tyre design has improved in the last 40 years.
but the track was harder to drive back then to
+fridgemagnet Seriously - engineering was terrible on these cars back then. You'd think they would start lowering their cars and putting harder springs on. Not even my family's Subaru SUV would flip. Thankfully any half decent modern coupe will be impossible to roll just by turning too hard.
+DjRjSolarStar Take a close look at how they flip and where. Most of them it's either when they go onto the dirt and the wheels dig in or when they come back onto the track and they drop down the kerb. Quite easy to put a modern car on it's roof in the same way even though suspension design has come such a long way since then. I'm so glad that beetle convertible didn't go over, they'd have been hosing the track down.
+fridgemagnet Except the Porsches - all oversteered but none rolled.
+fridgemagnet Electronic Stability Control is now standard in all new cars.
- Step 1, Grocery Shopping
- Step 2, Do a lap of the Nurbugring on the way home.
- Step 3, Roll over and spill grocery all over the track
:D
lol
And occasionally your brains
lol Right? every flip is shit flying out of their cars all over the track.
step 0, disregard ACTING stupid and actually become stupid !
Amazing how much the safety of the automobile has evolved.
You mean like the use of seatbelts?!
Randy Taylor if you think the use of seat belts is the only improvement in automotive safety since the 60s and 70s you must be dense.
Ghos7N54 They certainly changed the game when they became standard.
There is only slight improvement in automotive safety technology. In 60 and 70 they could built very safe cars (ex. racing cars) but customers rated price and look over safety. Those cars were built with body-on-frame technology to lower costs so they get crashed like beer cans.
which car seen in the video actually is body on frame?
Wow, watching multiple people being ejected from rollover accidents and walking away nonchalantly like "I hate when that happens."
Nick Hays
Yep. Some of them just walk away. No one had enough film back than to wait for paramedics to arrive... Another thing... My girlfriend once witnessed a crash... And a guy from one of the cars just got out, walked around for some time, sat back into his car... And died... (And I hate screen keyboards....)
@@iobuov - Internal bleeding will do that for you
6:50 - Beer falls out window...explodes.. classic.
😂😂😂😂😂
And the track
F :(
Good catch!
The ´70s. At age of 9, in year 1974 I drove a Fiat 124 Coupe, 1.8L., up to 160 Km/h on a road called Pedemontana at Aviano (North Italy) near the Alps. No seatbelts. The owner of the car was a 40 years old very good friend of my family and he was sitting at the passenger side. I still remember his smile!!! Italians are insane and it seems they do not need age of 18 to drive a car....
convertible, no seat belt, car full of people, nordschleife... not a good idea
seatbelts wernt standard and most of the time an option in cars back in the 70s.
Canal do Darin what? It was a bug. Looked safe to me.
Ironically, being full of people was probably what prevented it from rolling over
@@RealEstateClub- Thought the same..It was planted to the ground and even lower than normal.
seat belts optional, convertibles ok also, 20 people running across the track in front of other cars to help people who crashed. Wonder if anyone was ever hit?
+tom o'd Flares manditory
belts wernt standard or even offered at all in most cars during the 70s. it was only in the 80s when there was a real push for passenger safety belts became standard.
+Roland Waites Yeah that was a bum tensing moment I'm sure.
Major Tom Seat belt was standard equipment in all cars even before 1960.
And two riders on a bike is good as well.
That guy driving the white VW convertible was either a really good driver, or very lucky! He always kept the front wheels pointing in the right direction, and the passengers owe him their lives!
i dont need seatbelts
*flys out of car*
1:35 safety feature of the 70s
The man launched out to vw beetle
So was having a car full of garbage mandatory back then?
haha i thought the same thing
They were on their way to Nurburgring rubbish tip
+Prototheria can't tell if it's the passengers or dirty laundry flying out the windows
my dad thinks it's mandatory even today
+Prototheria On the way back from a vacation, on passing Nurnberg, you could give it a go on the track. No matter who or what was in the car, everybody was allowed on the track. BTW, shame for all these beautiful old-timers. My stepfather owned a BMW 2002 in the seventies. I had a bit of a warp back in time...
A few conclusions:1. The cars were crap in the 70's2. The ones with rear engines were outright dangerous (except Porsche).3. The beetle is good at rolling over. It suffers almost no damage.4. You can open the door and exit a beetle in 0.1sec, which is way better than cars nowadays.5. Narrow tyres are very grippy, too grippy sometimes, causing the to fly off the wheel or explode6. It is not wise to hang out of the window in a car that is in the process of rolling over. Especially when it comes back on its wheels it is very painful.7. My favorite car in my youth (Fiat 850 coupé) was the worst of all.8. As people back then had no computer games, they could not practice and had no idea that Adenauer Forst existed.9. People carried a lot of stuff in their cars back then.10. If your car is in the process of rolling over and you as a passenger decide to exit the car, do not hold on to it. It screws your skin everywhere.11. People were not afraid to die back then.12. When driving a Ford Capri, use the steering wheel at the entrance of Adenauer Forst.13. People had no fear of pain either. They just put a glowing hot wreck upright with their bare hands.14. Simca 1000 Rallye cars do generally not even make it to Adenauer Forst. Which is a pity, because that was my second favorite car in my youth.
Not a single Porsche flipped that day. :P
EnzoWTF too low to roll
His point was that not a single Porsche flipped over. Not that hard to understand.
Fascinating to see how both car and safety technology has evolved. Thank you.
Bloody good advert for seat belts!
The amount of seatbelts not worn is astounding.
+Xtina K: Most of the cars weren't fitted with seatbelts at that time. They became mandatory during the 1970s, when the number of fatalities raised tragically.
+Xtina K You cannot wear what is not there
Ahh yes forgot about that.
Xtina K there wernt any.
Even my car from 1993 has stickers inside the windows reminding you that "Seatbelts Save Lives", indicating that enough people still didn't wear them at the time that the government was still requiring those reminders on all new cars
*Thank god people got fat so they stopped slipping out the window and the cars stopped flipping over!*
4:31 Has to be the neatest rollover I've seen in the whole video.
Austin Lucas he has lag 😫
I know, it's basically the same with tourist drivers nowadays, with the big difference that 911 and 914 Porsches seemed to be the only cars that just spun off the track instead of flipping over several times... we've come a long way from there.
Props to the guy that catched the Beetle cabrio... either he had some skills or his friends lowered the centre of gravity to the right measure to stay on wheels... :D
It seems that the BMW 2002 did well too with not flipping
2:25 ... veerry lucky that convertible bug didn't roll!!
he JUST managed to correct perfectly
ken block daddy right there
ken block is a terrible driver, he didn't eve nfinish one stage in WRC.
@@etshArk87 this didnt age well
@@blackbird5026 indeed
Incredible technology back then where the car would know if the accident was going to be bad and try to eject the driver before it happens :P
Glad that convertible didn't roll.
So are they...I'm sure. Probably drunk off their asses and they wouldn't know the difference.
Where is your sense of fun???
I kinda wish it did. Lol
@@tisiluca our sense of fun is not polluted by nasty vindictiveness nor wishing people dead.
2:26 Maximum attack. Zero fucks given.
They were hardcore back then.
LUNATIC75 This video could have gone "Family dies on Sunday drive" really quick
mrconancat extremely quick
I see why drifting wasn't popular back then. It was literally impossible. I love the bail out at 3:00
more than anything its the swing axles hitting dirt
guess those (rear) suspensions in anything other than a porsche and some BMWs were just horrible back in the days. if you go sideways, you roll.
I think all of the cars rolled (VW's, some NSU's) had rear engines, rear wheel drive and swing axles.
Those things are fine for comfort, but horrible for handling.
The capri handled going off the track pretty well too.
1:18 the head smashed the window
+Freddy Fehn Badly ...
+Freddy Fehn Check 0:30, that's much better.
+Freddy Fehn Yeah, I had to watch that about 10 times to fully appreciate how bad it was. They MUST have had a smashed skull or something similar. Brutal.
+Bob Diggler and spine because she was half out when the car tumbling... Really bad....
On most courses, at least today, they'll make you drive with the windows down... Then again you'll usually have a helmet on too.
The music selection for this video is brilliant...
I thought that driving the ring sans seatbelt was dumb, until I saw the beetle convertible with passengers in the back.. Oh boy!
gus h yeah I cringed when I saw that convertible nearly roll. wouldn't have been good!
CZcams enthusiasts : "Old cars are lighter and handle better than new cars!!"
Adenauer Forst : *NOPE*
1:36 When you accidentally push triangle while driving in Gta
Ok so basically if you got sideways in anything other than a Porsche in 1970s Europe, you went flipping violently down the road. Did Ralph Nader know anything about this lol?!
+BoberMcBoberson Actually he did. He made a name for himself with the book 'Unsafe At Any Speed"in the '60s. Part of what it detailed is what you see here; the evils of the swing axle rear suspension, which is what most of these cars had. All Chevy Corvairs and all VWs up until around 1965-67 had rear swing axles.
+snowrocket I knew about the Corvair, but not all these cars. Can't believe how ballsy people were back then LOL! That convertible could have been BAD. No wonder most old people aren't afraid of shit, if flogging these deathtraps around Nordschleife is what they did for fun back in the day LOL!
+BoberMcBoberson That's not ballsy, that's fucking STUPID!
+ffjsb True story. It's like safety was the last thing on people mind back then.
+BoberMcBoberson Wonder how many of those people have TBI's from concussions.
every video ive watched of crashes on this track it appears they all happen in the same exact spot, even up to 2015. youd think people would have learned by now.
+Ben Dover | Lol, are you crazy ? this is mankind, it doesn't learn anything apart from ways to hate each others, destroy and pollute ;)
+Ben Dover well actually crashes happen all over the ring, it just happens that these vantage points are the best place to film and have always been that way. heck there's a corner complex known as the "youtube" corner- brunnchen-simply because 90% of ring crash videos are taped there.
Silence what a toxic mind you have
Awesome, thanks for the upload.
Amazing to see how prevelant rear engined designs were at the time. VW T1 and T3s, NSUs, Renault 8s, Simcas, Fiats....
them old cars love to go wheels up and eject there passenger's and the people in the convertible beetle well they are just very lucky
Seat belts people! It's amazing to think people took to The Ring without taking even the most basic precautions.
most cars didnt even have them back then.
This was literally so captivating to watch that I thought the music was “building” until about 4 minutes in, at which point I realized it’s about a 3 second loop!
Thanks, very nice video, and brings back memories of the cars of those days.
Is there a laundromat mat just around that corner? Why is everyone's car full of clothes?
Ikr
caliarmyguy They are ordinary people in their ordinary cars (of the 70's) having a go at the Nurburgring Nordschleife (North loop), with sometimes the wife and kids in the back of the car. You can still drive there today, on their open days.
Dave Lennon-Copeland Yes I'm aware. It was simply a joke about everyone having a shit load of crap in their cars. That's the part I'm not understanding. Do all these people live in their cars? Nobody needs that much stuff in a car.
Ha ha funny, I'm guessing it cuz they are on holiday and have all their clobber with them. My old man took me and my sister round the course in the 70's when we were over there on our holidays, in his Ford Capri.
diecast jam
Cool, scary? My neighbour had an orange Ford Capri Mk 1, I have always liked their shape.
Its crazy how they had the balls to run the Nurburgring with cars like that. Did you see the wheels? Bicycles nowadays have better wheels that those cars! Not to mention that no one in this video was wearing seat belts. At least they cant go that fast so they just roll around slowly once and then the drivers simply climb out like it was nothing hahhah its pretty funny
actually
+Stav Skatopoullo
First in 1974 there was the mandatory installation of seat belts in new cars in Germany. In the video of 1970, we see cars from 1970 and those that were built before. No belts, no headrests. At that time, motorists were afraid to bind to a vehicle.
Lightfromsirius Yea exactly, it must've been very scary. About as scary as cage fighting nowadays hahhah
This is great music whilst watching this, at one point I thought I was having and out of body experience! Thanks!
Love it ! Tnx for posting this and this reminds me what wonderful cars we use to drive and how we traveled around and come to our destinations without problems (well, more-less :))). Of course cars are much safer and built better today but still missing that old charm.
Of course gravity was a lot less in those days, especially it seems if you were in a VW Beatle. No wonder it gave so much headroom, or should I say vertical crumple zone.
Good video.
Interesting that cellphones in 1970's had way better cameras.....
And they were only 8mm thick ! ...
yes
Way better cameras, with impressive image stabilization. Proof at 2:59
cell phones???!! lmao truly hilarious. in the seventies, there were land lines, rotary and touch tone phones and lots of phone booths.
@ its a joke dumbass
Amazed at the amount of cars that would flip over from sliding sideways back then.
Seeing that convertible Beetle I was like, "No, don't you tip it".
are all these cars a reliant robin in disguise?
a reliant robon is probably harder to flip than these, the one on top gear had something in it to help it fall over
Dub step was better in the 70's.
When you see, how bad these cars handle and how quick tend to flip around, it is incredible how good modern cars are! And it‘s stunning to see, how porsche was miles ahead all opponents. Thanks for that, it‘s kind of eyes opening.
awesome. "old car" crashes are way cooler than "new car" crashes. 4 people in the car & no seat belts. pretty amazing.
seatbelts wernt standard and most of the time an option in cars back in the 70s.

"Darling, how does it taste the roof of our BMW 2002?"
"Just a moment please"
Oooooompf
"Oh, fo fat'f how it taftes.
Interefting!"
after the tarmac she was hungry for more
It's amazing how easily cars flipped back then! Few people were ejected too!
This is a great comparison for how cars have improved, look how easy the cars roll and how much damage is caused compared to the modern crashes at the ring.
Man, this was amazing. Talk about a #Throwback !
02:26 could have ended very badly
This ended 5:58
This ended 5:58
By the way it were beautiful times, no electronics only the skills of the driver.
It's amazing how few people knew how to drive, hahaha
wow, amazing video!
No Seat Bealts, No Helmets, No Roll Cages, No Traction Control, No ABS, Tiny Wheels, Big Balls. Automobile safety sure has improved a lot since then.
Oh my GOD look in the back window of the car at 0:12 there's a small boy in there with no seat belt. it was so different back in those days. There whole life style was completely different the cars was full of stuff safety wasn't exactly high up on the list. I think every aspect of life has been refined now days especially motoring. it's quite scary to think that i was actually transported in a few of these death trap's as a kid
Freedom was great wasn't it? Now the government mandates you put a helmet on to take a leak.
John B Freedom to be dead; sounds legit.
Back those days, we, kids (included me), we have had mandatory gymnastics (in our minds) every day, exercising a bunch of stuff, like climbing trees, harvest apples, cherries, pears, ... in the summer and autumn, push-ups, pull-ups, car-roof-skiing, hand-holds-on-door-rings-or-knobs, hands-walking, and so on. BUT WE HAD FUN! Nowadays kids are masters of keyboards, touch screens and so on. OK, not all! But I remember the smell of gasoline in the car, the heat and the noise while riding... Sweet memories. LOL
Snap oversteer in those rear-engined cars -- wicked handling.
amazing video
THIS IS fkin HILARIOUS. Between the comments and the lack of apreciation for their lives of those people back in the 70s.... priceless vid. Tough to see how much suspension and tire design works so well against safety.
that music though!!!
+Andrew Kuhn (kuhndog52) I uploaded a new edit of this video with a bette music. czcams.com/video/en70xO8s4-4/video.html
+johannes914 I kinda like this music.
+johannes914 I like this music better.
+Andrew Kuhn (kuhndog52) MUSIC? Music? No way.
+Peter Harwerth more like... ear cancer :O
Nice collection of vintage cars in vintage times.
Seatbelt wasn't a thing before 1985 (ish?) in germany, also the cars were much more fragile and not so sturdy like modern cars.
Unfortunately the all so repetitive music was a bit annoying
It's cool also seeing the track evolve.
This music is the best possible!
The BMW Neue Klasse rollover at 0:30 is absolutely terrifying to watch. I hope she were okay.
A few stitches on the head I would guess
That convertible bettle :/
What safety systems have been incorporated into the car in recent years and new safty technologies have also been introduced into the race track. That`s absolutely awesome.....
Sure, why wait for the passengers to exit before flipping the car back on it's wheels... Nice compilation!
Nice! Great choice of music too. Sounds like 70s Kraftwerk Moog Minimoog or similar : )
So the next time you crash... don't thank God... thank the 1000s of talented engineers who have worked tirelessly to make your car safer and safer for the last 50 years. _(How EASILY did those fucking things roll over and fall to pieces? Very scary.)_
Sadly, the car companies were usually dragged kicking and screaming to put any safety devices in the car. Look how much they fought seat belts for example.
Depends what country or area your are from.
Most of the cars that rolled were rear engine swing axle cars (VW, Fiat 850, NSU, Renault R8) and were prone to spinning out because of the rear weight bias, then one wheel would tuck under and the car would pole vault over the axle and turn over. The Chevy Corvair was notorious for that.
The BMWs would snap-spin because of the trailing arm suspension, something that they were known for, though you would have to be an aggressively bad driver to find that out. The Porsches were happy to switch ends too but all four wheels tended to stay planted.
I find it very interesting how today, early 911s have a reputation for dangerous handling, yet as this video shows, they were actually much more stable than many popular cars such as the beetle. Funny how things go down in history.
And how easily passengers were thrown out of the car.... And still there are people who prefer death by being mangled by rolling car to seat belt across them...
Amazing how tech has improved. So many cars just flipped seeing this
It is so hurting to see these wonderful icons in car history to crash.
If this was a recent video yes, but those cars were very common back then, it's like seeing Golf VII's, Astra K's, BMW F30's and Mondeos crashing today.
Cars from the 70s flip real easy... I got pretty concerned when I saw the VW Beetle Convertible with like 4 people in it.
four comments on that:
1) rear engined cars are the most dangerous tools in the business but still fooling around;
2) real sports cars are always safer
3) Fiat 850 was pretty an interesting car to drive
4) track is for pilots only
+Domenico Conte If rear enigned cars would be more dangerous, why do we see no turnovers of the many Porsche 911 or 914 in this video ? It has to do with the suspension, layout and the tires.
And you can see why Mercedes had 1960 already invented (and patented) door locks that do NOT open i case of crash.
+Oliver Eales porsches are real sports car and - as I wrote - they're safer. Anyway rear engined cars have so far moved to central-engined solution. Porsche is also among those (engine isn't overboard any longer even in 911)....
Love the old cars..........especially the little 4 bangers!
what a great video
1:37 Herbie is displeased
I'm noticing that a lot of these older cars can keep going after taking damage like that. Some of the modern cars today wouldn't be able to keep going after some of these incidents.
+Wabefuhon That is because cars are safer now. Did you also notice how many doors opened on these old cars??
Jeff H
I noticed some people were getting knocked out of their cars.
+Jeff H and people still get killed..fancy that
Blahblah Bluhbluh wake up mate, do you have any idea if we were still driving these death traps what the road toll would be?
Jeff H just ment that the biggest problem is sitting behind the steering wheel
Holy shit, you could see who was not wearing a safety belt. Looked like most of those cars had been helping to move house with all the shit that was deposited on the track. Great video.
Poor suspension and slim tall tires. The main cause of all those rollovers.
I really appreciate the way new cars handle.
Bias ply tires probably contribute a fair bit to some of these accidents. Remember those?!
The design was so superior in the 70s. Today you can t even distinguish a VW Golf from a a VW Polo in the mirror.
Wow. Some amazing accidents there, the VW beatles hold up pretty well in a rollover.
this vid is awesome
2:26 Imagine if he rolled that, that would have been four headless people
+Harry akmost the only car that didnt flip...
Can I buy this groovy psycadelic 70ies spaghetti thriller music on vinyl record somewhere?
stenovitz Don't know about vinyl but CD for sure. See description
hammer auf nahmen ,danke dafür ,war da grad mal 1 jahr alt ,lmw
interesting to see some 914's , had one, it was cool as hell.
The cars roll over at a minimum tilt. Modern cars are much more difficult to roll over
+HMHD Nah, that's not the electronics. It's the chassis and suspension setup of those old cars... Narrow tires, positive camber, high COG, long suspension travel, body roll, narrow track etc... Noticed how the 911's don't suffer from it? And also those BMW's to a lesser extent?
+Roeb074 Your reply to HMHD is absolutely correct. A lot of the rear positive camber on the small rear engined cars is because they used the swing axle suspension. It was cheap to build, but not very safe.
5:13 diz hippies though.... WTF just happened duuude?.....
The music is mesmerizing! 😊
Very nice :)
If we learned one thing from, this it is that all Beetles should have been banned from the ring.
+KlunkerRider
In relation to the number of brands also many BMW and Fiat 850 overturn.
I was surprised how well the beetles that rolled survived. Most of them were more intact than the Renaults, Fiats, NSU that rolled.
Actually, the VW Beetles kept their shape remarkably well throughout their roll-over. Safer in those than some of the others.
