Not to take anything from uploader (thanks!) but Hans Stuck was the father of "Der Strietzel". Hans Stuck, in his time, almost a century ago, being just as much a real legend as much as his son Stietzel was in his time. The latter of which I as a teen and young man in the 80ies and early 90ies enjoyed so much. And 12 years ago even got eye contact with (big thing even for a grown up man). Still don't get it? Hans Stuck = Legendary Grand Prix race driver of the 1930s, driving the Auto Union Typ' C and Typ' D monsters and post war famous sports car series, etc. Hans-JOACHIM Stuck: The race driver concerned in this vid. I think Der Strietzel needs no further intro.

This man casually went out on the ring in 2004, probably for the hundredth time with BMW’s M3 GTR, this time with a camera, having no idea that he was becoming immortalized as a legend to an entire world of nerds looking back with nostalgia they got from a game that came out a year after this, and that he basically became famous 15-20 years later for TOTAL OTHER REASONS from his gleaming racing career. Amazing. There was no youtube, no clout chasing. Just a man a car and a camera. I can only imagine what a beautiful clear day this was in Germany to go out and do this. The atmosphere. He had no idea!! It was just another run! And yet this is still the most legendary video ever. So beautiful and ironic.

Three legends in one video: M3 GTR, Nordschleife and Hans Stuck. This video is a gift to car guys everywhere.

@@tylercouture216 In some cars (and all race cars) with manual transmissions, you can move the shift lever without the clutch by releasing the throttle momentarily, moving the lever to the neutral position, and waiting for the exact moment the engine speed matches the gearbox speed before moving into the next gear. This saves wear and tear on the clutch. I attended a driving school (Jim Russell) and we were taught to shift that way. In _this_ car you don't need to lift the throttle; the ignition cuts out with perfect timing so you can just 'slam' it into the next gear. That's the 'quick shift' Mr. Stuck was talking about @ 2:55
