Capri playing with the big boys in the rain ... gotta love that!

[@armorgeddon]

Whaaaat, DRM with group C cars was a support race for the 1982 German Formula 1 GP!?!?!?!?!!!!!! What an awesome weekend that must have been for the fans, especially on such an awesome circuit that the old Hockenheimring was.

[@wellthatwasmediocre]

I take it that this was filmed before they ruined the hockenheim circuit.

[@jethro1260]

40 years went by in a blink of an eye 👁 and for me this is some of the most enjoyable racing 🏁 ever.

[@larryboyes7276]

Some great names from sports car racing. Bob Wollek. Klaus Ludwig.

[@oleriis-vestergaard6844]

Zakspeed made a homemade system with oil being sprayed up under the pistons for cooling - it worked well as other companies use this xystem to cool the pistons in turbo engines both petrol and diesel

[@artmchugh5644]

The Porsche 968 street car has that system!!! And was fitted to my 944 turbo race car!!!😀😀😀🚘🚘😁😁😁🏁🍺🍺

[@robm.4512]

That’s not Zakspeed’s innovation though, it’s a method of piston cooling and small-end lubrication that’s been used in many engines over at least the last 100 years. It was not uncommon by WW1 and has been used in numerous powerplants since.

Che meraviglia e nostalgia

Cカー初年度の1982年はポルシェ956だけでなく色々な種類のクルマが走っていて見ていて楽しいですね。 BASFカラーのザウバーの車も好きです。

Ford C100の動画に触れたのは本動画が初めて。 箱車マイスター：ルトビッヒ先生のC100での快走も良いですネ。

The old classic "Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft" (DRM) was the best Touring car Chmpionship ever with their mesmeric Group 5 cars in two divisions. It was the biggest mistake to end this wonderful regulatioms. Probably by some blind officials, as so often. The following "Deutsche Tourenwagenmeisterschaft" (DTM) was and is from the beginning in 1984 until today only terrible and pervers. What a shame.

[@micowikstrom7182]

Agreed!

[@konradschroter4071]

Wie recht Du hast !!!!

[@ducedevlstear2471]

DRM wasn't Touring car, it was Silhouette and Prototypes. Same as DTM since 1993 was Silhouette and the Touring car name was only used as already being familiar.

[@LeoWuerde]

@@ducedevlstear2471 Silhouette or not Silhouette - the DRM was Touring car sport at it`s best !!! No Silhouette car from the DTM can matched a DRM Group 5 racer.....even the later and latest years.....just horrible.

[@ducedevlstear2471]

@@LeoWuerde saying Group 5 racer to Touring car is like pretending that your daughter's Pony is a Thoroughbred. But I leave it there, you can decide what you want to believe. And me mentioning DTM had nothing to do with comparison but simply stating that 1993 onwards DTM raced under Silhouette Formula despite it's name.

[@dollydamasus]

Stimmt, aber schau dir auch mal Fussballuebertragungen aus dieser Zeit an.

[@montedaestrada3563]

Not much Zakspeed Capris in that.

[@inquisitor229]

Hockenheim before it was castrated by fools.

[@escariol]

Indeed, FOOLS, following the Masterfool Bernie Ecclestone and the (nowadays) ridiculous F1 Circus.

[@thomyg425]

Absolutely true..!!!

[@whitefox9]

How do you navigate in weather like that Not fair to the cars following Schumacher stopped the race if conditions are not favorable for fair race

[@cobrafan427]

That Porsche 936 is a little outdated isn't it?

[@mortenfrosthansen84]

You should know, that Porsche is very good, at renewing its designs and bringing worthy updates. That being said, this was a neutered 936, compared to the raw unrefined rocket it was. The Bob Wollek car is also a 936, only in different clothing
