Every german president should do that once a year. It needs to be a tradition.

@danieldorn9989 Год назад

Looking at the current leaders and what they do, I think their goal is rather to destroy the country.

President Gustav Heinemann was 74 years old at the time of that ride, and he was 46 years old in 1945 when the WW2 ended. Those two facts are making me not wonder at all, why he enjoy the ride so much, despite being unbelted in open top 917, on snowy Nordshleife.

@doubleT84 Год назад

Willi Kauhsen is a legend. Seems like you're familiar with "Alte Schule" where you can listen to several multiple hour long interviews with him (in German). Some of his stories happened in Canada, some in Italy. But the best happened at the Nordschleife.

Those were real man. Don’t know whom to admire more, the President or driver. 917 was OG car called The Widowmaker. Even on dry tarmac it was almost impossible to drive full throttle. Imagine it was n the snow and with that responsibility. Driver was the origin of the GigaChad. That President asking for another lap while freezing and giving the thumbs up after full spin was super cool. I was born in 1971. I remember cars and man from 70’s. Pant sleeves covering shoes and redicilous facial hair. But very macho and real man. Driving bikes with no helmet. Remember family member coming to visit us in the Ford Capri 2.8. He was dressed like a pimp and his girlfriend was like woman from the recording of the original Woodstock. Every time he would go with his car he would peal off and leave the tire marks. Both laughed. I was little boy in the aw.

@m1t2a1 Год назад

Can Am cars were amazing. The most powerful road racing cars to date. Racing tires of the day didn't have the grip of a modern all season tire. I went to every Can Am, and F1 race weekend at Mosport. Despite being in Canada, there was never any snow.
