Compared to today's tracks it's insane to me that Nürburgring was widely used. The logistics at the track are clearly very high stakes and seeing how we could look at how huge that track is and think that's a good idea just shows how far the sport has come.

One thing that gets me about the photo of the scene: Porsche 911 fire extinguisher. If that's not German, I don't know what is.

The safety cars have to be able to get round then track within a reasonable amount of time relative to the F1 cars, especially at the Nordschleife
