In April 2007 Nick Heidfeld took his BMW Sauber around the world famous Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit. Yesterday, I posted some photos from the event, today I am presenting three videos found on youtube. The sound of the V10 F1 car through the Eifel mountains is sublime, and perhaps this is only heightened by the fact [...]
Okay, so news of Nick Heidfeld driving the BMW Sauber F1.06 around the Nordschleife is not new. It happened almost one year ago, on 28 April 2007, but chances are you won’t mind reliving that momentous day. Here at AUSringers we’ll help you do just that with this two part special.

Australian subscribers to Foxtel are in for a real treat this Sunday night (3 February 2008). At 9pm AEDT they will be broadcasting a 1 hour special titled History of Nürburgring. I’m sure it will be well worth watching and I’ll let you know if it was in a few days time.

The second clip I am featuring of the 1967 German Grand Prix features just under 4 minutes of footage shot during a practice session from a chase car following Hubert Hanhe in a BMW powered Lola. It is a typical 1960s clip with an upbeat soundtrack and a classic English voiceover. Perhaps my favourite quote [...]
This is the first of three clips from the 1967 German Grand Prix I will be posting. At just over 1 minute this is the shortest of the three, but the commentary from Sir Jackie Stewart ensures it is well worth watching.
This is a great clip from YouTube, this one is courtesy of wippermann. The footage shows what is pretty much a complete lap from the 1975 German F1 GP, featuring Niki Lauda in the lead car. A lot of the film was shot from the air and gives a different insight into the layout of [...]
