    All those cars are beautiful. They look impressive, not old primitive technology. In particular, streamliners look sci-fi even today.

    Incredible Auto Union V16 Type C Streamline was made in 1937 and looks like a 2030 car with the speed of a current hypercar.

    There was a plan to build an other banked curve on the opposite of the the track called Südkehre for more high speed but then we all now whats coming next in 1939.... today the Avus is just an ordinary highway with a speedlimit of 100km/h nearly 100 years of motoracing and the prototype of the german Autobahn

    The Mercedes looks like a spaceship compared to the other cars. I wonder how long it took to get those smooth and seamless curves on those cars.

      The Auto Union with its midship engine design was much more modern from the engineering point of view. Made by Porsche btw.

    See, this race had very high safety standards, there were white wooden poles seperating the two long straights, where cars would casually go 200mph.

    the type c and the w125 streamliners actually raced. but the w125 streamliners should've been running laps around these guys by now... it was a 270 + mph car.

    • @jcgabriel1569
      @jcgabriel1569 2 года назад +4

      Not exactly. The W125 streamliner that did that speed is specially designed for the record breaking runs, it won't be suitable for a race like this.

    People acting like these cars were futuristic but not really. They’d do 240 in a straight line but would take forever to get there, take forever to brake from that speed, and had zero grip or stability so if anything went even a little bit wrong at that top speed, you’d just instantly die. And that did happen multiple times in this race
