Oldtimer Grand Prix at Nurburgring

Thank you! These photos are great.

 

Exceptional...? Are we talking about the same event??
Wanted to go there, but after checking the entry lists online I stayed at home. I know, off-topic for this board, but where had been all the pre-war cars for which the OGP was famous in former years? No Bugatti, no Bentley, no supercharged Mercedes, a single Monza and a P3. And if not the Rettenbergers would have brought their Maseratis to the ring it would have been hopeless. The "Historic GP" heat contained cars from 1925 to 1960, which shows how disappointing the entries had been. Where had been the Edwardians and the "Super Sports"? And also the post-war sports cars had only a few highlights.

 

That's an excellent collection of action packed pictures! Thanks for posting the link.

Must agree with Müller though that hadn't the 1950-60s Maseratis been there, the field of cars would have seemed relatively "ordinary"...


Cheers,

With Monaco Historique, Le Mans Classic and another Goodwood Revival just around the corner, it's no wonder some of the Oldtimer "grids" lacked fizz.

Thanks for posting some great photos
