170+ mph on skinny tires, solid axles an no downforce to speak of - Now that's scary!
Good one, Dare! :good:

Scary indeed. Good find Dare. :good:
Looks to me like they just copied Brooklands, we know there's a reason Brooklands was left to fall by the wayside - it was just so damn dangerous.

Surprising that they didn’t figure out earlier that a closed course should have cement barriers instead of guardrail

For the most part, F1 didn't have much in way of guard rails (a.k.a. Armco) until Jackie Steward's push for safety in the early 1970's. Here's Sir Jackie at the Nurburgring in 1967. Notice the complete lack of guard rails. In spite of what the comments below the vid say, I think he's driving a BRM P115.

I meant to say closed ovals. Road tracks are a completely different animal.
