Can someone answer this for me? How were F1 races at the Nürburgring Nordschleife televised live? I presume they were on German TV, because almost all national networks in Europe that I know of used to show their own GPs live (and the BBC did a fair few overseas ones too), but how did they manage to show anything like a whole lap, or even a good proportion of one? The only film that exists of Lauda's crash in 1976, after all, is amateur footage.

I'd be fascinated if anyone knows!
