Nurburgring live web cam

I heard there was 1 death a week on average, when I went in 1998 and 1999.

When I was driving around (I did 6 laps), I saw 4 bikes down, and 2 or 3 cars off, heavily crashed.

Also, the walls are covered with memorial notices, and flowers etc etc.

 

YIKES!

 

sounds like north east road

 

Is the white Merc wagon there with the lights on the roof the safety car or something?

Staff in the local hospital that deals with the constant stream of crash victims. Their figures were 2-3 a week in critical condition, about half not surviving. So that works out to around 1 dead / week.

I just converted the numbers to two weeks, as that is how long this thread has been going...

 

man, that govt must be getting some serious revenue from users of the track to not restrict it further.

can you imagine an area of 20 or so km's of aussie turf that collected an average of 1.5 deaths and 3-10 disabled per-week (80 deaths/300 disabled) to continue functioning?

ok, in perspective, imagine similar statistics on the whole of the no-speed-limit roads in the Nothern Territory where we did the exotics in the outback which comprises what like 800,000 km or something???

 

thats gotta be an oddly eary feeling sitting there with your motorcycle buddies waiting to go and seeing two ambolences just waiting for you to crash, and knowing very well a few will and likely one of you wont be going back home

yes very nice porsche
I award 2nd place
top honors still go to the space shuttle

 

My guess is a Volvo prototype, since there are two more Volvo's in the picture, and it has kind of a Volvo front.

 

A done up Audi A3?

 

Makes sense, looks like the others have swedish numberplates as well.
It looks like a coupé, C40 perhaps??

 

Second Place. I am going backwards here. You guys are a tough croud.

I think it is a Mercedes CL prototype. Sure the two on the left are Volvo's but to me it really resembles the earlier CL spy shots I've seen. I can't find them at the moment but google them if you wish

 

The F1 curcuit is a whole other track, although I think they can remove a little wall to connect the F1 track to the Nordschleife.

 

Yes they can (and do). The 24hr races at the Nurburgring use the F1 start straight and pits. The tracks does a U-turn at T1 of the F1 circuit, and heads back to join the Nordschliefe. Or alternatively they can use about half of the F1 circuit to 'warm up' before entering the Ring.

 

so when the F1 is on will we be able to see the cars from the webcam

 

*sigh*.............

 

i take that as a no....

 

look at the map it lays it out quite nicely and no
