The Most Lethal Formula 1 Circuit of All Time

- The Nürburgring, known as the "Green Hell," has a haunting history.
Since its inception in 1927, it's claimed 79 lives, including Formula 1 drivers, officials, and spectators.
The track's deadly reputation stems from its steep elevation changes, blind corners, and lack of safety measures. Even after safety improvements, disaster struck in 1976 when Niki Lauda survived a fiery crash. The owners eventually decided to build a new track better suited for Formula 1 racing, but it never truly gained popularity. With financial challenges and a changing F1 landscape, its future remains uncertain.

So before the ‘76 German GP there was one specific concern by Lauda and some of the other drivers about the Nurburgring that often gets lost in history. The main concern they had was the organizer’s ability to effectively manage the circuit to GP standards of the time- which they just couldn’t. The Ring needed 5 times more marshals and safety personnel than any of the other GP’s on the calendar- and the organizers simply were not able or willing to organize that- it was extremely expensive. It’s just really hard to organize an international motor race on a circuit of that size and length. As for Lauda’s accident it took 5 to 6 minutes for marshals and emergency services to get to the accident scene, as opposed to now where it is mandated that there are emergency services within 30 seconds of any incident, which is why other drivers stopped to get Lauda out of his burning Ferrari. 5 to 6 minutes can mean the difference between life and death, and for poor old Lauda it so very nearly meant death.
I wholeheartedly agree on that. Like I said before, the other F1 drivers KNEW he didn't stand the slightest chance of survival without thier help in getting him out of that burning hulk, and I believe wholeheartedly that Roger Williams' horrific death, as well as Jo Siffert's in the 60s-era of F1 was on thier minds when they came up that straight, just past Ex Muhle, and ran into Lauda's 'engulfed in flames' Scuderia-Ferrari 312-T2. They knew if they didn't stop and 'act', like what SHOULD have happened for Roger Williams a few years before (I believe he would have lived, had other drivers stopped to help flip that car over, maybe. It WAS a BAD crash), they knew that Niki would die. And they weren't about to let that happen on 'thier' watch.
@@VideosVarious2 The 2 drivers that saved Lauda didnt just simply stop they ran into him... also no it wasnt those cases, it was just a general uneasiness in regards to fire that prompted drivers to help each other and back then there was a real sense of comradery in the paddock. Your analysis is just not based in any reality.
@@akiimo389 With an argumentative comment rooted in 'unfoundwd opinion' like yours there, and one that partly supports my statement, I think it's fairly 'obvious' which of our comments is rooted in 'reality'. You seem to be an argumentative 'troll'.
@@VideosVarious2 you just made up a story. Everybody can listen to interviews where they talk about why they saved Niki and why they would’ve saved any driver in general (not related to the 2 incidents you named). You also said something about stopping for lauda which they didn’t. They ran into them. You still completely misasses the situation.
There's a reason why legend's and some people called the circuit track as a green hell circuit because of the layout itself..
The clip of Daniel screaming with the exactly just fit perfectly, it's scary how long safety wasn't a thing in Motorsport
That’s where Jann mardenboroug’s crash was at nordschliefe where man did a full backflip into the fence and killed a spectator
Facts
Give me 1 good reason why the Nürburgring shouldn’t be added back to the calendar, I’ll be checking all comments as usual. 🫡
I think if they restore it and make it wider get rid of some big hills, then the track will be awesome.
@@elwinbektas999naw man they should just open it up again who cares about people’s lives you know
Imagane a 4-5 lap saftycar. Oh lord
@@elwinbektas999nah lets not turn the Nordschleife Into the Nordscheiße
Is so dangerous for the drivers💀that circuit is very veryyy fast
This is not a video in witch I should laugh the entire time, but as a German there are not many things more funny than you pronouncing all this German words😂
I can pronounce a lot of German words even though it is not my native language. I could not resist laughing because he didn't even try to say them correctly!
Lauda's 'rear suspension failure' which caused him to instantaneously lose control of his Ferrari 312-T2 happened just BEFORE the 'right hander' turn known as 'Bergwerk', not 'at Bergwerk'. The section, shortly after the right-hand corner ' Ex Muhle', is a fast uphill straight followed by a 'fast left-hand kink' and then to a straight that runs to Bergwerk, is now called 'Lauda Linksknick', or, 'Lauda Left Kink." That, is where he spun off the straightaway just before the lefthand 'kink' and smashed into the Armco barrier, and then spun back onto and down the track, before being hit by American F1 driver Brett Lunger and another car, of whom ALL jumped out to save Lauda from burning to death. They all must have remembered what happened to Roger Williams at Zandvoort, and weren't gonna let that happen on that hot August day in 1976, at Nurburgring. As it was, that was the LAST Formula 1 race ever held at the Nordschleiffe. It would take more money than anyone is willing to pay for that track to ever be brought up to even F1 standards of 1976, let alone 2024. But what an awesome sight that would be, if they ever did, huh? But then again, the 'history' of the old Nordschleiffe would be forever changed, and I don't think most people would want to see that happen.
"...That, is where he spun off the straightaway just before the lefthand 'kink' and smashed into the Armco barrier, and then spun back onto and down the track,..."
In fact, there was no armco barrier on the right side of the track. Only a catch fence.
Roger Williams = Roger Williamson.
the nürburg track reminds me of Bathurst, Australia’s most famous track, the fox hole makes me think of the dipper
As a German, and suffering so hard from English commentators who don't make a single effort to correctly pronounce foreign words, let me tell you this, @dailyfuelup:
Your trying the very best and my noticing it is worth so much simply because I am more than happy to watch your videos until the very end, and then another one.
If presenters don't make an effort to pronounce words correctly, what other things don't they invest time in?
Again: thanks a million!!!!
And you know what? After the comment that you practiced "Pflanzgarten", your pronunciation of Nordschleife became almost perfect.
Before, the sch is still an s, but you audibly try to do more.
After the statement, the sch is near perfect ✌️✌️✌️😆😆🤙🤙🤙🕺🕺
Please stop with the beeping sounds. It's so annoying, especially for headphone users
Copied
This. I like the videos (new subscriber), but the beeps are VERY annoying. Other than that, am loving the videos!
6:12 That’s not Andy Gehrmann, that crash shown was Jann Mardenboroug
Andy was the spectator, the spectator died, not the racer
Fuel will go mad. Drivers might not able to finish the entire race?
Why? They have a certain amount of fuel to drive a certain amount of kilometers every race. This one shouldn't be the exception.
My favourite track to race in video games, but would not want to race it in a F1 car in the 50s to 90s.
I’ve always held the opinion that the Nurburgring is a great track for driving, but terrible for racing. If you see the races today held at the Nordschleife, they are excruciatingly boring. What would you expect out of a 14+ mile track with only two real passing zones? It should be viewed as a relic of the past.
Watch GT races there. There is definitely passing around the track.
I believe the crash at 6:12 is the crash of Jann Mardenborough, correct me if I'm wrong
Even jann mardenbourgh crashed after his car was airborne and killed a spectator in the guardrails when the car did flips,
Jann was ok, just a bit shaken up, the sport is gran turismo
This channel gives off what culture vibes
Statisticallly 47-50 was worse (3.67 deaths/year) relative to 50-75 (1.44 deaths/year)
The speigel? Spiegel, smfh.
It's not the question, why this track is so dangerous. It's, how all other tracks can be so safe
9:02
New Nurburgring : The boring ring.
It's the car equivalent of the Isle of Man circuit
1:22 a liitle war😂😂😂
So, F1 making a pivot to USA... but not allowing a USA team in (Andretti). Don't think so.
Bruh trying to recreate Jann Mardenborough's crash 2:57.
The best driver to hit the sport
Also the best driver to hit the wall, combust and survive*
die Strecke ist genau richtig die Formel 1 ist nicht sicher genug gewesen!
Excelent
FIA want to win America but they'll lose many fans pampering to those American tastes. It wouldn't be so bad if the circuits in America were real circuits and not streets of a city. Monaco is a rare exception to this rule, although it isn't an exciting race these days. At least, the other races in Europe are proper circuits and proper races that don't limit these cars so much. If Liberty wanted to change F1 why did they buy it in the first place? F1 fans don't need Liberty Media!
Kayalami making a return???
There was no internet in the 1970s never mind Wikipedia, what's he talking about!
I love it when non Germans try to say German words
1:35
👀
👄
"Nordsleife" ... jesus.. you know that Google Translate can pronounce it for you, right?
💀
Glory for ever OLD NURBURGRING, and OLD HOCKENHEIM ,circuits for a very very greats drivers , not for hearts of chiken ..only for braves ,and exellent mens 🏆
The Isle of Man TT “yawn” 😂
European tracks>boring middle east ones
03:02 FYI thats not Foxhole. Its the section from "Wehrseifen - Breidscheid - Exmühle" right before the "Lauda Left" where Niki Lauda had his accident
Came here to say that. Bloody rookie.
Works on the Nürburgring started in 1925, while the narrator says 1923.
Please stop with the beeping sounds. It's so annoying, especially for headphone users
was the spectator that passed away involved in that Jann Mardensborough crash?
yes
Yh
There are multiple inaccuracies in the sections of the track being talked about and what’s shown on the track, and also the place of Lauda’s accident, which wasn’t Bergwerk, but the corner before that, which has since been named Lauda links (meaning Lauda left)
i found your videos about an hour ago. watched 2 of your vids including this one and that was enough for me to sub :D keep up the great work and video making. im very much looking forward to your future projects
Really makes me happy to hear that you love my video❤️
Content will continue to get better and better 👍🏻
i can see it :) looking forward to seeing it and wishing you much success :)
The channel is really high quality but the "apple/iphone avatar" that pops up every now and then really brings it down and ruins it for me, i don't like it at all but maybe that's just my problem lol
Hey, really appreciate any feedback mate ❤️
Will definitely try to take it into consideration for the next video 👍🏻
Dangerous? Yes. Challenging? Yes. Thrilling? Yes. Legendary? Yes. But worst? Absolutely not, not when we've put up with and been bored by Bahrain, Magny-Cours, Caesers" Palace, Sochi, Detroit, Barcelona, Nivelles, Indianapolis, Phoenix, Shang-Hai, Zeltweg, Red Bull Ring, Yas Marina, Hungaroring.....
8:00 they named it European and Luxemburg GP due to the rule that no country was allowed to have two GP in one year - so they always had to have another name due to Hockenheim being in there
Italy have two gps?????
Good videos bro keep up the content
Thanks mate ❤️ will do 👍🏻
Epic, new subscriber...
Happy you enjoyed the video ❤️ Welcome aboard 🤝🏻
... but it's so satisfying if you get a lap right. I love "the green hell".
for the algorithm
If it took you 10 minutes to practice saying "Pflanzgarten", it will take you about 3 years to be able to pronounce "Nürburg" (the little town with a Burg on top of the Berg.
14 + miles for 1 lap takes a real man to be able to handle ! Awesome show . That is what the
Spectators want ! $+skill = speed I say go for it !
So, just saying as this might sound crazy but Wikipedia, nor the INTERNET was even in existence. So yeah they could not have searched that info... lol just saying... the internet is still only a few decades old.... lol
Bravo sir
Good video #2 of yours ive seen in past 20 mins 🏎️🏁🏆
2015 in a gt class, Jann Madenburough had his Nissan go up into the air and had one massive crash, killing one spectator. I only know this because of the movie Grand Turismo
1:36 mfers I can fly!
That and Watkins Glen
On accident ofc
'Promo sm'
Having driven the circuit and watched the 1976 German Grand Prix at the ‘Ring, I can say I totally disagree with the title you’ve given the track as the Worst F1 track of all time. If you equate danger with how bad a track is, How about Imola, Spa, Jeddah, Suzuka or Monaco? The last time I checked, auto racing, in any car on any track is dangerous. The new Nurburgring circuit qualifies as a bad track, most Herman Tilke tracks are devoid of character or challenge. If racing scares you, don’t do it, any track can take a life in the blink of an eye.
Miami and Lusail are worse tracks than Suzuka and Monaco, but I agree with you.
F1 is dead now.
Why do you think that?
Bro what are you on about
Shut up dork
Incorrect Loud Buzzer
Haha DRS killed it. Its americanized.
1:21 bro said "little war"...
