An Australian view on the Nürburgring Nordschleife

Derek Bell talks through a lap of the Nordschleife

March 31st, 2009 Posted in Motorsports, Porsche, Track guides, Video



This would have to be one of the best Nurburgring Nordschleife videos on the internet. Derek Bell, five-time Le Mans winner, is behind the wheel of the awesome Porsche 956. There’s not much else to say, except enjoy the racecam view and listen as Mr Bell talks us through a lap of the Ring.

The footage was filmed in 1983, before the completion of the current Grand Prix track, and it is interesting to see the construction work near Hatzenbach. Regular watchers of Nürburgring videos will also notice how much the trees have grown around the track in the last 25 plus years. It really is great viewing.

    That footage is taken from the dvd “In car 956″, one of my favorite automotive dvd’s.
