Great video, thanks! Good to see and hear so many beauties driven around the Ring. Especially drivers of pre-war gems seem to be knowing what they are doing! 👍

I aspire to have the confidence to drive a €2 million car off the track and still going at it, it's nice to see the cars being used. Imagine these noises (music) will soon be a thing of the past, only experienced through footage like this.
I see a lot of people hating on the skills of the drivers. Most of these drivers probably don't know the track by heart and that corner is way sharper than it first looks which makes for a pretty good fail compilation.
@@colinmurray9517 umm, if it's the same guy in the blue tvr he spun multiple times in the same corner... I'm sure there were a few blue TVRs at the track that weekend, so it may have been more than one car, I'm not going to study the cars to prove or disprove though... But, if you keep spinning at the same corner you are trying to hard, or aren't learning... It's not a race.
BTW boys,as a Racer of 45 Years and including Group C cars,try the old "Slow IN,Fast Out" technique.You'll get around a lot more corners,particularly that one just after the Fuchsrohre,as it is deceptively tight, left then right.
Why do some of them have such a hurry to go hard over the rough curb to turn/go back on track.. specially with an old car. Just chill and go on the grass until you can rejoin the track smoothly..?
That's a first generation Fiat Croma (1985-1996) - though it shares the platform with the Saab 9000 (and Lancia Thema and Alfa 164), it is a completely separate car, not least due to the fact that it's far lighter (~250 kg lighter than the 9000), due to having almost none of the safety measures (or quality materials) of the Saab :)
Unless I require a whoosh, that is generally what happens with mid engine cars, TVR's all had a wobble or spin and they are midengined as well, and before anyone argues, the engine is behind the front wheels, it is mid engined. RWD cars oversteer

It's an event for amateur drivers. Many don't have the skills of a professional race driver. And I don't think that's necessary. They are there to enjoy themselves. As long as they do so safely, it's ok.
Yeah, that would be the idea. We speak again after an overmotivated dentist in over his head with his Healey took you out in your 356 while you were enjoying yourself.

Notice it was a toss up between the most evil handling cars,the TVR's of all types and the FIAT X19? I Raced a TVR Griffith 1965,with a 289 Ford V8,and only recall I spun it once at Phillip Island,BUT it won 47 Races out of 54. However TBH nothing could prepare a Driver with the EVIL TVR Griffith 500. It has the worst oversteer of any car,including any series 911.
I don’t know why but when I see car run off line through the grass, dirt and gravel, and then come right back on the driving line spreading it everywhere infuriates me
Because they can afford it. I am grateful for these enthusiasts who own, maintain and drive these cars so that many others can watch, hear and enjoy it! Sure, one or two could have acted a bit more sensibly, but overall it's great that people do this.
@ The red vehicle at 6.24 with 530 on its plate, was not a Fiat. And it did look like an RO80. FYI, from wiki, “NSU Motorenwerke AG, or NSU, was a German manufacturer of automobiles, motorcycles and pedal cycles, founded in 1873. Acquired by Volkswagen Group in 1969, VW merged NSU with Auto Union, creating Audi NSU Auto Union AG, ultimately Audi. The NSU name came from the city it was based in, Neckarsulm, contracted to three letters.”
The guy in the TVR seemed fairly determined to destroy his car that day.
I'd love a list of the cars in this video spotting them would increase the interest. The sounds of these older cars is amazing.
Seeing several examples of the same failing in the same corner is pretty funny. Great video!
You’d think these old timers would know AF by now ! It’s been there since 1927 😂
Oh man die alten Vorkriegsautos mit ihren Fahrradreifen.
Oh what a display of nice cars, thank you. The Fiat 600 driver knew what he was doing.
Great video, thanks! Good to see and hear so many beauties driven around the Ring. Especially drivers of pre-war gems seem to be knowing what they are doing! 👍
My favs to watch! Racers in those days were real men...takes nuts to get in one of those
Thanks for uploading this Fiat X1/9 special.
Nice not to see every second car is a bimmer.

I love how it seems to be an agreement between MG owners, x1/9 owners, and TVR owners to just absolutely flog the machines around the ring! :D

😍 That BMW 6 Series at 1:40! Simply amazing!
Some fine old rides.
Who knew there were that many Fiat X1/9s left in the world?
I thought the same thing. They are a very rare sight these days in the US
6:17, the sound of the blower coming in is something most will never hear today.

Unbelieveable to see people driving THAT bad around the Ring
Ego exceeds ability!
Some of them are a little to excited but their also old cars. Not as simple to drive als modern ones.
Noone just hops on the ring and drives like a pro.

Hate comes form those who only play video games and think thats reality
If that was the same guy in the red X1/9 multiple times, maybe he should consider taking up knitting. 😂
Yes, or Candy crush🤠
I want to know how you get an X1/9 to go fast enough to get out of shape.
Noone hops on a track with any car let alone an old one and looks great

I concur. The noise when they move...nevermind

Why do some of them have such a hurry to go hard over the rough curb to turn/go back on track.. specially with an old car. Just chill and go on the grass until you can rejoin the track smoothly..?
Nerves I guess, adrenaline flowing and just eager to get out of the way or perceived as being in the wrong place.

You’re right. Although, having had one as a kid, It was not a great handling performance machine. Still, what the hell?
Fix it again one nines!
TVR guy cannot do a corner.
Celica was sick!
Do any of them have the slightest idea of what an apex is?
i dont, but then i'm not driving like that either.
Das maximale rausholen& auf der Strecke bleiben ....voll cool.😅
Die Autos können einem leid tun, so viele Hobby Schumachers
Fiat x1/9 mid engine car,rearwheel drive and still oversteer? What a rare talent!
Unless I require a whoosh, that is generally what happens with mid engine cars, TVR's all had a wobble or spin and they are midengined as well, and before anyone argues, the engine is behind the front wheels, it is mid engined.
RWD cars oversteer
@Pits750 thanks for explaining,you know your stuff!
Someone needs to put a sign up on the grass that says ‘Replace Your Divot’
Tolle Autos, Hammer Teile.
TVR's should have headlights on the front AND the back. With headlights only in the front, they can't see where they're going half the time.

Those TRVs and X1/9s don’t handle good at all.
Those TVR's are twitchy. The X1/9's are mid-engined so when you go to far the will come around.

Thats what makes older cars fun to drive. Its a challenge, no computer to make you look the hero
