“I think I might stop Nordschleife hot laps”
“welcome to another Nordschleife hotlap video”
Like we'd let him do that!
Is this a bad thing?
Even if he were to stop now, the Auto Union was and is definitely a good way to end the series!
We need him to do this lap with all available Vintage Grand Prix cars available.
That's a very Jay-Z thing to do and that guy is a billionaire soooooo...
It’s just a plane engine with some aluminum and bicycle tyres bolted on
It's not. Plane engines were 3 times the size and didn't like revving.
@@R4M_Tommy wooosh
@harry199 yes. A 3L V16 would like to rev a lot. Easily over 25k rpm with modern Formula 1 technology (if NA and with a very short stroke). The cylinders would be only 187cc, for reference, the most common size for road car cylinders is 500cc. In the 1930s the limiting factor was valve float, so it probably wouldn't go over 6k
@Mc Fireballs woooosh
calm down people, is just a yoke
Jimmy: no more Nordschleife
Also Jimmy: henlo bois, time to make a hot lap on the Auto Union Type C
*Typ C
"Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!"
Sliding into Jimmy's DMs by proxy. I love this community! :D
Please Chris is there anymore ludicrous cars you know we can pressure jimmy to hot lapp
Throw him in a 30’s Mercedes Silver Arrow. I mean he’s driven an Alfa and an Auto Union, might as well give him the full 1930’s experience.
No, no, no - a big blower Bentley with that huge Rolls-Royce V12 engine that used to live inside a Spitfire.
@@robertduguay8955 he should lap the brutas from that top gear episode
This is basically a messerschmitt with the wings taken off.
A lot of the engines used by German manufacturers/race teams for racing and land speed record attempts at the time were being developed as aircraft engines.
@@jackytwix5956 fun fact: Hitler supported the race teams of Mercedes and auto union. Mercedes received 300000RM.
@@hugobolzer9183 Fun fact: Germany was forbidden from researching specific military technology under the Versailles treaty. Stepping into automobile racing was a disgusting and clever move. And with that money, they basically doubled the power-to-weight ratio of racing cars in 4 years, and got huge gains in material science and aerodynamics. This period of racing is so interesting because the machinery was incredible, but the political background is horrendous.
@@flashpeter625 the investments of the third Reich went so far that auto union and mercedes dominated the races from 1937 leading to other teams refusing to race them
@@hugobolzer9183 Not surprising, given that the other teams were basically garage owners and enthusiasts.
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.
Bwoah
Do you have any links to find interviews that show them? Sounds quite interesting
@@shwabo0007 Difficult to find, I saw some somewhere in german documentaries. To find something in english you are probably best of searching for Richard Seaman - he was british, thereby english speaking and drove for mercedes from 1937 until he died in a crash in 1939.
Hans Stuck; Werner von Brauchitsch; and Hermann Lang survived the war and made it quite a bit into the post-war era, so you may have luck finding interviews with them for english speaking TV.
@@jimmyincredible3141 sorry for the late response as I’ve only know seen this but thanks so much!
...about those regulations they gained the power back pretty easily in i think a few years,
engineer: How big engine you want?
Auto Union: Yes.
engineer: And brakes, how big brakes you want?
Auto Union: No.
I'm so sorry Jimmy
Don't know if you remember me from GPRB F3 but it's amazing that you can create such an amazing quality car all by yourself.
@@olliecole7163 of course i remember :D thanks, bit different from the F3
Garyy, will you make the streamline version?
No your not..
@@JohnPalauro I will, but only if someone else makes (from scratch, no rips) the period correct AVUS track.
Type C in the 30's: A near 200mph deathtrap on wheels
Type C today: a tiny wire for moving data
We've come far
The type c could do well over 200mph. With the streamline body on it, it could hit north of 250
Only data? Type C can handle 100 Watts of power too!
According to Gran Turismo, the streamline version hit 450kmph which is about 280mph before it was flipped by a gust of wind. Presumably doing the big combust.
@@McPlayer8t It´s Gran Turismo.
Just some facts about the car.
The Mercedes-Benz W125 Stromlinie (translated as streamline) was only used for top speed records. It never raced. The original W125 was actually used for races.
The streamline hold the record for the fastest ever car on normal roads until November 2017 with 432,7km/h as the average speed in one kilometer. (Of course the top speed was a bit higher, but 450km/h is unrealistic).
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”

There's a small video of Rosemeyer racing this thing back in the day. During the race, Rosemeyer went sideways for a second, hit a stone and lost a tyre. Rosemeyer didn't gave up, he raced this monster with 3 tyres to the nearest depot, to change his tyres in 54 seconds, went out again and won the race.
This wonderful machine is absolutely insane and it's nearly impossible to believe, that people raced in this.

9:12 “ imagine being auto addiction” i think of him every time i do this part of the track 😂
Unfortunately Auto Addiction was banned from the Nurburgring! Big shame. I think the owners / managers of the track don't like the crash videos going out and probably don't want to encourage people drifting / showing off on that corner either. Either way, it's likely there'll be no more new videos from them, since the ban they've just posted compilation style clips of older footage. Very sad.
So do i..
Fun fact: one of the 1930s auto union drivers did a lap of the nordschleiffe in only one gear to demonstrate the car’s versatility
I tried doing so with a W125. Not hard at all, the engines have so much torque they spin the tyres when starting in fourth gear.

@@McPlayer8t ok thanks
Came to the comments to say the same thing. Funny!
I'm still clinging on to the hope he'll do a hot lap in a mark 2 escort rally car.
Tazio Nuvalari raced one of those Auto Union cars around the pre-WWII Donnington circuit.
Nuvolari drove the D-Type, which was a bit less bonkers, has he only joined Auto Union in 1938.
@@PayasYouListen yeah I knew it was 1938 and not the one in this but I didn't realise it was less bonkers. It probably had all drum brakes back in those days, right?
Bernd Rosemeyer was the only driver to get to grips with this beast.Interesting fact: He had no experience in grand prix cars,he was a motorcycle racer and it was said that the reason he drove it so well was that he had no preconception of how to drive this monster or how a gp car should behave,so what other drivers found unnerving,he just developed a style to just drive around the problems! 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! IN 1937 . Madness fully unleashed!!!
His replacement was Tazio Nuvalari in 1937.
@@eamonahern7495 Sure did,disc brakes didnt come to grand prix cars until about 1954 with Mercedes and ,as always,Mercedes used their inovative ideas to annihilate the opposition.
They have only been in F1 3 times in their history and cleaned up every time !
He won around the ring in an Alfa Romeo P3 in 1935. The car was 3 years old, had a horrible pit stop, and still won against the Germans. They were so sure a German was going to win they didn't bother having the other countries national anthems on hand. Luckily, Nuvolari never traveled without his Italian national anthem record.
Take this car on the Südschleife or the historic nordschleife in AC. Makes more sense....but a cool video and the car is really hard to drive and yeah you have no real brakes.
Great drive, I’d love to see you drive this around historic Monaco!!!!
And the pre war Le Mans would be amazing
Yes for sure
I wish you had done it on the old-style Nurburgring. For reference, for the 1937 German Grand Prix, Rosemeyer was the best Auto Union on the grid with a 9:46.2.
Yes and it also needs to be done on the Donington Park 1938 circuit.
I've seen this car driving irl 3 times.
It was one of the most remarkable racing related experiences in my life, the sound is unbelievable and it still sounded in my ears several days later.
“ in an 83 year old”
Ladies and gentlemen-
We got em
Now imagine driving these cars on pre war tracks rather a "modern" Nordschleife!
While there was sizable political support, political funding only covered a fraction of the costs.
One interesting thing about the German racecars, was that it was supported in part due to Germany's massive restrictions to their military after WWI. They abused it pretty heavily so that they could still develop weaponry. Making racecars was one of the ways they managed to develop their aircraft engines.
@@Celciusify Modern problems require modern solutions
@@Celciusify
It certainly was an apt way to increase engineers' skills!
And for even more terror, "streamline" them and go for broke on the autobahn. IIRC, the speed record over public roads was held by a Mercedes W125 from this era with a record of 432.7 KM/h, only until 2017-2018 when a Koeniggsegggggggg beat it after 80 years with a record of about 445 KM/h.
Utterly Utterly insane.
@@zeroelus
Correct. If I recall correctly the run was done in frosty (!) conditions as colder air is denser and allows for more power.
Berndt Rosemeyer, 1936 European champion (the precursor to the F1 drivers' championship) in the Auto Union Typ C, the car from this video, was killed attempting to better Caracciola's record.
Bernd Rosemeyer, in 1936, won here at the 'Ring IN THICK FOG in the 1936 Eifel GP.. One of the great drives of all. Fastest ever lap in the Typ C at the 'Ring (dry but overcast conditions) was 9mins 56.4secs in the German GP, 1936. You smashed it!!!
Okay so I've watched about 5 of your videos now and I'm subscribing. I had no idea sim racing had reached this level of fidelity, both graphically, and with the peripherals and their feedbacks.
The engine note in 2nd gear is orgasmic.
"140mph for you american's" what part of england are you in for kph Jimmer, my norfolk mind is confussed.
Same for my midlander mind. I'm pretty sure all of England uses mph ngl
@@greatbritannialine Isle of Man? Not sure dude
The European Union part ... trololo :P
The UK has officially adopted the metric system in 1965, with the imperial system still officially allowed for distances, speed, and liquid quantities. But almost no effort was made to convert the population to metric. So depending on individual background (and field of education), Brits use either.
@@flashpeter625 all our speed signs state mph including motorway light signs and all speed offences ect ect. It just seems strange that he uses kph to me.
If you find the time you should take this thing around old monza, banked turn and all
Really impressive driving, there's no way I'd get it round there in one piece.
This thing sounds glorious! And the guys back in the day must have had balls of steel driving those cars at over 300 km/h and more
They had balls bigger than Jupiter. Especially Bernt Rosemeyer, who drove this engine on wheels with some coating at 400km/h
Would love to see Gary make "Beast of Turin" and "Packard Bentley and see Jimmy take them round the Green Hell
Jimmy! The comment on sim racing showing you what it takes to drive certain cars well is golden. I’m always shocked when I “hop in” a new type of car! I started just using road cars in assetto corsa and had a blast and then started mainly using gt3 cars and I bought acc and they are beasts to drive. Then I got f1 2020 a few days back and I never knew how hard it was to drive an F1 car 0.0 they’re absolutely insane.
Fabulous! A beast of a machine. Hugely challenging to handle. Ridiculous speeds. And geared down, to boot...
Jimmer: We're going to end the Nordschleife hot laps series now.
The Nordschleife: We're done when I say we're done.
"The big combust"
My favorite
Fun Type C story.. It was the first rear engined race platforms and because of it's "unusual handling attributes" initially none of the established GP drivers either could or would drive it, so Auto Union hired motorcycle racers because they knew racecraft but had no preconceived expectation of what a race car is supposed to feel like.
If I could like this video 2x I would! You drove it amazingly and it looked like a beast of a handful. I love how you can commentate while you drive. Keep it up
Jimmy: How to describe the handling... "It's like standing on one foot... On a boat... In bad weather!" 😂😂 Love that comment 😂 Brilliant
I've always wanted to see Jimmy take the Radbull MX-5 around the Nordschleife.
Don't kill the Nordschleife series!
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.
Jimmy, make a hotlap at the "Circuito da Gavea", at Rio de Janeiro - Brazil! It was a street circuit like Monaco that received GPs between 30's and 50's and it was called "Trampolim do Diabo", portuguese for "Devil's Trampoline
", because of its difficult and absolutely dangerous curves. Fangio, Hellé Nice and others great drivers from Brazil and world drove here.
I think it would be great for the subscribers and for the history at all! Nobody ever did it in UA-cam. I just don't know if there is a virtual circuit ready for use, but it probably exist.
Anyways, congrats for your work and Happy 2020!
I think that 90% of the weight of the cars of that era were actually the weight of the house-sized balls of the drivers
"That's 140 mph for you Americans" - We use MPH in the UK Jimmy....
This is why you can't stop this series. From time to time a cool mod pops up and we need to check that car vs all the others as this is the only legit list of all cars on same track :D
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.
Auto Union - Jimmy doing his Rosemeyer impersonation.
Has Jimmy ever taken the Tomahawk SRT X VGT in Gran Turismo Sport for a spin on the Nord? It’s incredibly fast and crazy. But it’s not on AC. He has driven that crazy fast open wheel car so probably not worth a try. Still if you want Jimmy give it a go in private it’s quite fun and challenging. ✌️
I'm not sure where the news happened that you weren't doing anymore Nordschleife hotlap videos, but I'm happy to see they show up now and again. Hopefully it's more that you're bored of the track, not that people have bugged you to stop. If so, count me as one that enjoys these!
Good God...the brakes on that thing are basically just a suggestion. And someone actually DROVE this thing!!
Jimmy do a Mercedes CLR Le Mans lap on Nurburgring!!! Happy New Year!!
Let them race again, we need to celebrate this advanced piece of tech.
I have been waiting over a year for you to do a video on the 1937 Grand Prix mod, these cars are the most fun I've had in AC so I can't even imagine how they feel on a wheel, thank you

*before the lap starts*
Me: It's a metal cigar with two V8 engines fused together behind the driver, sitting on ancient braking technology and Ford Model T tires, with as much power as an entire parking lot full of Ford Model Ts... this should be good!
Also... people were absolutely bonkers to climb in these things irl and go as fast as they could in them. I feel my life flashing before my eyes looking at the steering wheel alone.
Thancc you Gary 🅱️ery kool
Now the Streamline version Jimmer! Yes, I know I’m cruel :D
That was a real hoot. There was a race car shaped like the cross section of a wing. It was the Voisin. It was like the new Indy cars open front wheel and inboard rears. They were known for their aircraft. I’d love to see some early racers from the time of the Vanderbilt cup.
You mentioned balance in the video and that's exactly why Auto Union turned to accomplished motorcycle racers to tame this beast. Bernd Rosemeyer was, IIRC an accomplished rider, as where Achille Varzi and his eternal rival, Tazio Nuvolari. All three names are tied with this monster.
People talk about modern F1 racing rivalries, but those last 2 are as iconic as can be, Nuvolari, the passionate Italian, credited as the inventor of the four wheel drift, cited by Don Enzo himself as the greatest driver ever. Varzi, the cold calculating master, never making an error, relentless and utterly precise. Nuvolari going on after the war until he was basically too sick to drive. Varzi recovering after a morphine addiction and guiding a group of young drivers up the ranks until his second big mistake while racing, which cost him his life. One of his students cried for him the most, a middle aged man by the last name of Fangio.
So much history in these machines that should not be forgotten, even if it predates Formula 1, and usually is bedfellows with some reprehensible sourced funding and the engine technology ended up being directly applied in aero engines used for war.
This video put my grandfather's age in perspective...
Yazee wasn't enough to stop the vid from being demonitized...
Legendary vehicle. I actually saw an accurate reproduction in the August-Horch Museum in Zwickau in Saxony. It's breathtakingly beautiful in real-life. Knowing that it was capable of going up to 340kph is just mind-boggling.
And the real thing actually had a fifth gear.
Just watched your "Beat Jim Clark" video and the same thing applies to both these cars; the reason for them having no grip (you need to point them into the corner so early) is because the tires are so poor. The biggest development in racing through time has been the tires! So the brakes aren't that bad, it's the tires, they have completely different slip characteristics compared to new ones. Drum brakes are actually better than disk brakes (not looking at the 80+ year difference) before the drums heat up and don't cool as good as discs.
@Albin Grondahl . . . Definitely the tires have changed. There was a time in F1 racing where the starting set of tires had to last the length of the race, as there were no pit stops for tire changes. Harder rubber compounds for tires, for better durability, means less agility when cornering.
@@bloqk16 Well of course the choice of compound matters (F1 even had issues with tracks losing grip because some support classes were racing on different tyres than the Pirelli ones) but a super hard tyre of today's standard is still so superior compared to an older tyre. Look at the Goodwood revival races. All cars are sliding all the time because the tyres are more linear and not as peaky as modern ones (look at for instance a Pacejka slip-force curve)
The internet was created so I could watch this goofball 3700 miles away drive a virtual car in a shed
“You do the big combust”
Will you marry me Jimmy
I don't play video games, have watched a few videos on this track, very realistic. Blown away by how detailed the graphics are! I have a book about these cars, Porsche invented the limited slip differential, hydraulics for the drum brake system, and these didn't run on the exotic fuel that Mercedes was burning. Rosemeyer beat US at the Vanderbuilt Cup in NY, probably the only time Indy and Grand Prix competed against each other?
I just got this car a few days ago and have been loving it! So happy you are doing avideo on it!

Aw man. I miss when it was WWE memes and gameplay of mw2

Clearly we need a series of you trying this beast on various tracks, trying to match the times of modern mundane cars.
zupperm. It has been said, probably rightly so, that if you could travel back in time, you could win the 1955 British Grand Prix in shirtsleeves and the radio on, driving a 7 series BMW.
@@rogerwhittle2078 I bet it wouldn't be far off. The old silverstone is nothing but fast corners where the modern tires would beat the weight disadvantage.
@@rogerwhittle2078 Ok I had to try that with Assetto Corsa and the 1967 Silverstone. It doesn't have a 7-series but I tried the Panamera, Cayenne and the Quadraporte and they were 5-10 seconds faster per lap than the Maserati 250F 12 cylinder. And I've should compared it to the 6-cylinder version as that's what was actually used in 1955.
@@zupperm But were you in shirtsleeves and was the radio on? Thought not. If you had, old Juan Manuel or Sterling would have been all over you.
Joking apart, 5 to 10 seconds A LAP is a staggering performance gap, when most teams reckoned to lose maybe one or two seconds a lap against the top teams. It isn't just disk brakes, because by '67 virtually all racing cars had them. Power was pretty similar until the art of turbocharging petrol engines came along. It must be the tyres and downforce. The Formula 'Tyre' was the all purpose Dunlop R6, was it not? And that would be high pressure tubeless, cross ply? Modern slick, soft compound tyres are relatively low pressure. Do they still use an inner HP tyre as they once did? Either way, it's true that Doctor Who could win the 1955 British GP with ease?
I like how it's equipped with iron sights.

This car has NOT a plane engine in it.
Ja. No, this was never put in a plane, nor ever developed for one. Treaty of Versilles requirements. But would strangely make an effective fighter engine...
@@wumpusthehunted2628 Nah, not really.
By 38 you really want over 1000hp in a fighter, preferrably closer to 1500. It is also fairly small for an aero engine.
r/woooosh
8.43, but what hard work! I was sweating by just watching. In the real thing, it must have felt like 8 hours. Btw, Jimmy forgot to mention those 500 supercharged ponies are pushing just 800-odd kilos.
Great video Jimmer! Absolutely joyous to watch it being thrown around every corner.
This car was designed by Ferdinand Porsche and was drove by Bernd Rosemayer and (the best pilot ever lived in Enzo Ferrari opinion) Tazio Novolari.
I love the Auto Union, the precursor to Audis, but bloody hell does it want to spit you out. Absolutely mad were the people who drove it with the drum brakes and the engine suited to a modern hypercar.
You know, the first sim I encountered that in was in a mod for Sports Car GT. Love that game too.
i'm not sure if you knew this Jimmy, but in the type C the clutch is only used to get up to speed from standstill to first gear. i am not entirely certain bit i believe it's a dog box ;)
To add: This car is indeed on hydraulic drum brakes, manufactured by lockheed - yes, the very same that builds military planes now
"no speedometer, probably better for the sanity of the driver" that line was funny. Thanks for the laugh.
Little fun fact: the part of the track where you go flying ISN'T the "Flugplatz" but the "Quiddelbacher Höhe". The "Flugplatz" is just half of the long corner later. ;)
Sounds phenomenal, one of best sounding hot lap cars
It reminds me of a Sega Dreamcast game called "Spirit of Speed 1937". If my son's system hadn't stopped working I would pick it up again. Not a lot of game structure and no Nurburgring, but the cars were varied and interesting. The circuits were very different with Brooklands, Monthlery, Avus and Morocco. There are a couple circuits that are still in existence like Pau and Monza but with differences. The Auto Union is there too, a sort of 1970's car with 1930's tires or a Cooper Maserati from the late 60's with street tires. Look it up.
Not only were these cars full of extremely flammable fuel in a thin tank but the body was usually made of _magnesium_ which... put it this way, on old friend's dad was a fireman and forensics specialist and he said that standard procedure was that if they encountered a car that has magnesium alloy wheels that was on fire they just let the fire burn because if they dumped water on it odds were good it'd explode.
