I don't understand why these historic ramblings are appearing in the F1 forum. I mean, if this is the norm, then I am going to start some serious discussions about Bernd Rosemeyer.

Anyone who drove those monsters on those skinny tyres at those speeds were literally taking their lives into their hands each time they raced, and I have always admired Brend and rate him as the best Grand Prix driver ever.
I am sure there are many here who would disagree, starting with ioan I bet.When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout

I have to agree Valve.
Those 16 cylinder Auto Unions were pushing 600 bhp at the time, using skinny tyres and virtually huge grip.

There is a great article in this month's evo magazine where they run a Maserati 250F in the Nurburgring, the 50th anniversory of Fangio's memorable win.
I hear Mr. Pagani is making a special edition Zonda for this event.Iceman: Adjective 1)Rapid, swift 2)Nickname of Kimi-Matias Räikkönen, a legendary Formula 1 driver

I have a great tape called the Auto Union years which features those mid engined monsters as well as their rally car. Got it from a copy of MOTORSPORT many years ago. I'm going to try to copy this onto my DVD recorder/player so that I can share it with some of guys here (who are Essendon Supporters).
