"Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!"

The pre-war Grand Prixs were just insane, especially before '38 when they started to "limit" performance by rules that required heavier cars with smaller engines. If you watch race footage or interviews of these GPs, drivers had bloody hands after driving as the forces on the steering wheels regularly shredded gloves and skin, and drivers getting drenched in fuel in the pits as fuel was just refilled basically with buckets was just normal...no seatbelts, 500-600 HP, drum breaks, 300kph on uneven 30s streets and tracks in a 750 kg car with bicycle wheels... If you lose control death is almost certain, while the only real option to get these monsters around corners is to use the immens power to oversteer...its feels closer to a gladiator fight than to todays understanding of motorsport.

@McPlayer8t

Well it’s hard to say exactly what happened over 80 years ago. But, the simple fact is that it was going damn fast before it crashed. From what I heard, the record was unofficial though, because the car didn’t do the run in two directions. That could be wrong but I read that somewhere. Also you are saying an average of 432.7kmph is realistic, but a top speed of 450 isn’t? It’s not a big difference relatively speaking, especially given how hard it would be to drive at that speed on 1930s suspension and tyres. He would have likely had to back off the power regularly to keep it under control. In any case, the exact stats don’t really matter, it was a freaking fast car that did “the big combust”

I believe he won the Eiffelrennen at the Nordschliefe driving it.Sadly he died trying to achieve a speed of 400kph,on the autobahn and was killed when a gust of wind unsettled the car ,he lost control and slammed into a bridge abutment.He had been clocked at over 380kph when it happened!

This is a very interesting piece of auto racing history I'm familiar with. Jimmy found this race car the hardest to drive; and from what accounts I've read about of the Auto Union Grand Prix cars of that era, it took drivers of exceptional skill to handle them with its swing axle independent suspension and the massive horsepower being exerted onto the narrow tires. My one issue when it comes to these driving simulations is the lack of "feel" when doing a virtual drive. There's no "feel" of acceleration; no feel of braking; no feel of cornering; no feel of the vehicle's dynamics when it is on the verge of instability . . . all the aspects that makes driving the real thing very stimulating.

When's go kart vs Nordschleife?

I‘ve seen that car live at the Klausen Bergrennen a few years ago, what an experience. Unfortunately the driver (I think it was Martin Thomczyk) was not able or allowed to drive it properly but anyway first time I heard a V16 🙌

This makes me realise just how incredible a driver Bernd Rosemeyer (the Grand Prix Champion who drove this car) was !!!

Its not just the cars that were scary but also the roads and safety measures. Jackie Stewart once told a story of how he left the road in the French Gran Prix crashed into a house, the floorboards collapsed and he ended up in the basement covered in fuel hoping that a spark wouldn't cremate him.

That was the most challenging sim drive I've seen. Literal steer with the gas pedal.. if you could find the Auto Union Streamliner, the car that did in Rosemeyer at Darmstadt, that'd be awesome. Take it to old monza or something.
