Well they weren't making decisions in the late 90s based off of 2020s safety standards were they? Motorsport was not as safe back then as it is now. The ironic thing is that I think your point is valid with some tracks, but AVUS? Come on dude, take the rose tinted glasses off. This track would be sh*t, the races would be so boring with the bigger and faster cars.
This is AVUS in its final mid-1990s configuration; under 3 km total, no Südschleife, a flat and tight radius Nordschleife, and a cone chicane on the back straight just before the right-hander onto Nordschleife. AVUS was progressively shortened over the years. It began at 19 km, was reduced to the 8.3 km motorcycle layout post-WW2, then was reduced further to 3.5 km post-1967, and finally ended at this layout.
man, look at those Alfa's, such classics
Back in the day, this was a fun race track to be at and I had fun
Someone is going to the moon at that track
👍🙌
I remember Race 1 start in 1995 ☠
HOW DID YOU?
“mounting safety issues” why’s racing gone so soft. a modern DTM could easily lap this place no problem. hell, even other cars could too.
Yeah but it's two hairpins and 2 straights, it's weird
@@juaneerit's fun !
