Probably the last close up of great mexican driver Pedro Rodriguez. Great video, as many have mentioned, I wish it had sound so I could listen that Ferrari roaring while Pedro was leading the race.
This video is simple awesome! If there would be also sound. Hearing those car roar would be so great. It would be worth 10k*, without sound it's unfortunately only 99.9k* Damn limitiations...I'm only allowed to grant you 5*. That big black cloud of smoke at the end makes me feel sick. RIP Pedro.
Great footage. In addition to the last tragic laps of Pedro Rodriguez, you also captured privateer Klaus Behrmann in his silver Mercedes AMG 300SEL 6.8 in the support race. First seen @ 2:14. This car is a sister car to the famous AMG "Red Pig" class winner from Spa, which AMG still promotes heavily. Only Behrmann's silver car still exists in original condition. All of the Red Pigs out there are copies.

Amazing video, thanks a lot for posting it! But can anyone read what is written at the back of Harald Link's Porsche Carrera 6 (visible in the background at 1:40)? I'd like to know as I plan to build a model of that car, and pictures of it are scarce... Thanks in advance.

Amazing footage of a very significant event in racing history. A very sad day.
Descanse en paz, hermanos Rodriguez
Great, incredible footage of Pedro Rodriguez's last few laps. Thank you very much.

Poor Pedro Rodriguez. He was a great talented driver. I remember to have been very sad about his death. 😪
Enzo Ferrari once said that the biggest difference between the Drivers of today and this Era is the Courage required by these earlier Drivers

Originals got sold off to become test mules. Most likely ended up in a recycler.
A very sad day...Pedro Rodriguez was a superb driver. He didn't deserve at all the fate he met at Norisring, with no mistake by his side...
Great, Great, Great!!!! Thanks Mate!
You´re very welcome!
wonderful race...wonderful cars, but also the tragedy from Pedro Rodriguez in Ferrari 512M!

Just look at how short the "safety" barriers are... wow...
Die Sicherheitsvorkehrungen an der alten Haarnadelkurve bei den Zeppelin-Kleingärten, sind aus heutiger Sicht schlichtweg kriminell ...
That´s Herbert Mueller (#70; Ferrari 512M) colliding with Michel Weber (#14; Porsche 917 Spyder) in the Esses.
Amazing video, thanks a lot for posting it!
