This video is not the onboard, hold onto your hats variety. It’s more interesting than that. What appears below is a classic piece of footage of 1939 Grand Prix champ Hermann Lang (above), piloting the stupendous Silver Arrow that is the Mercedes W125 around the N\u00fcrburgring.<\/p>\n

Commentary is by one of our favourite dashing Motor Racing heros Graham Hill (above), whose Dick Dastardly dash was matched only by that clipped, home counties accent.<\/p>\n

But more than the magnificent machine and the characters involved, is the quietly resonant forests, the untended, de-barriered corners, and the slick black tarmac completley devoid of petrolheaded graffiti from the world over as it is these days.<\/p>\n

Don’t attempt the drive to work in the snow. Sit back, press play and enjoy a simpler time and a sunnier place!<\/p>\n
