Movie of Lauda's crash at the Ring

On the site of Riccardo Nunnini I found a link to another great site: http://www.gtf1.com/ Check out the movies section. The crash of Lauda in '76 at the Ring, in-car shot of schumacher driving into the wall at Silverstone, it's all there. Andre

On Mon, 09 Aug 1999 17:31:44 GMT, They only have one movie there, of Hakkinen.. Could you give a specific URL, please? Thanks. -- * rrevved at mindspring dot com

It's not meant to be entertaining I think. I believe it's more educational. So you can see what happened to Niki Lauda in case you had never seen it for yourself. Not just to see someone get hurt.. Dan Belcher Team Racing Unlimited

Not that kind of site at all. See it for yourself. Jerry Morelock

Oh my God, not another discussion like this.... Anyways, the site has lots of movies of f1 history over the last 30 years. One of the worst moments of f1 history was the crash of Lauda at the Ring in 76. We've had long discussions here about where he exactly crashed on the ring, how it happened, if he was rammed by another car during the accident, etc. People got their f1 history books from the shelves to look up info about this. And here it is: a short movie where you can exactly see how it happened. This is not entertaining, this is history. A crash that realizes us, even if it is for a short moment, what dangers are involved in grand prix racing, and what risks the drivers were and are taking. And perhaps even makes us wonder why they do that. Andre

Ahh! Educational. Now I understand? Steve

http://members.home.net/f1gallery/movies.html There is some great history in those clips. Check out the 1979 Villenuve/Arnoux battle. It's hard to see in the little MPEG but I've seen this clip on videotape and they're banging wheels for most of a lap without wrecking. Pure driving skill in action. Lots of great Schumi/Hill battles... remember when Hill was competitive? Also, look at 1994 for Jos Verstappen's pit fire. The mechanics had altered the fuel nozzle (the [then new] aircraft style ones) for increased flow and it sticks open -- soaking the car in gas. There's a horrifying second as no one quite knows what to do then the fire starts. Jos escaped with a minor neck burn. Dale.

Also check out the one marked: 'A lap with Jackie Stewart' in the miscellaneous section. It's not a lap, but it's some onboard footage from Fuchsr?hre at the ring :-) -- Arne Martin

: Also, look at 1994 for Jos Verstappen's pit fire. The mechanics had altered : the fuel nozzle (the [then new] aircraft style ones) for increased flow and : it sticks open -- soaking the car in gas. There's a horrifying second as no : one quite knows what to do then the fire starts. Jos escaped with a minor : neck burn. Massively off topic but - the mechanics had altered the fuel system to remove a filter because they already filtered the fuel before putting it into the pump and the alteration had been approved by the company making the fuel pumps. It is also highly debatable whether this alteration was in any way related to the fuel spill and fire. (It's one of those things that come up regularly in F1 circles "Oooh... Benetton cheated by fiddling with the fuel pump and that caused a fire" - it's simply untrue). -- Richard G.
