Mal Rose Racing at Spa 12 hour

Thanks to Mathias for highlighting this image of  the Mal Rose Racing Holden Commodore in action at this weekend’s Spa 12 hour race. Mal and his team suffered some bad luck at the N24 a couple of weeks ago and, unfortunately, it looks like things haven’t improved with the trip across the border. The official [...]

Dodge Viper v Porsche GT3 RS

How would you like a lap around the Nordschleife with a Viper up your clacker? Sounds like fun to me! Looks like hard work, though. Watch to the end to see if the Viper gets his man…

Scirocco GT24 prepares for N24 defence

The Volkswagen Scirocco GT24 is well underway with preparations for a return to the Nürburgring 24 hour race. Volkswagen Motorsport will be hoping for another excellent showing, which last year saw the team claim a 1-2 class victory. The team had a shoot out in the four hour VLN event last weekend. It’s fair to [...]

Hans-Joachim Stuck talks to AUSringers

1990s DTM highlights reel – Together we touch the sky

There’s not too many better clips out there that capture the excitement of the Nordschleife than this one. You get a feeling of the speed, the rise and fall of the track, some great in car action and all set to some cheesy Euro haus musik. The best part, though, is the epic airtime captured [...]

1993 DTM Nurburgring highlights

More great highlights of DTM at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, to go with the 1992 clip—this time with English commentary. Klaus Ludwig again features prominently, but he was no match for the V6 powered Alfa Romeo 155 driven by former F1 racer Nicola Larini. Another familiar name is that of Olof Manthey, who has been keeping [...]

Wayne Moore shares his story

Sometimes I get emails from readers of AUSringers that make me want to scream. I mean this in the nicest possible way, of course. I don’t want to scream because they have frustrated me, or because they have done anything wrong. I want to scream simply for the experiences they have lived. Today was one [...]

1992 DTM Nürburgring highlights

There is some superb footage in this YouTube clip featuring the 1992 DTM races on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Most of the action focuses on Klaus Ludwig in his Mercedes-Benz and Johnny Cecotto driving a BMW M3. The racing is tight, the scenery picturesque and, of course, the track is brilliant!
