Tribute to Bernd Rosemeyer
A little tribute to the man who was the motorsport idol of my grandparents. Happy Birthday on your 100th, Bernd Rosemeyer I hope there is a Nordschleife in heaven
First man who lapped NoS in less than 10 minutes
First man to drive > 400 km/h on a public road (not on a salt lake )
There are a lot of fascinating and also funny stories around Bernd Rosemeyer - for example after the races he expected his mechanic to offer him an already lit cigarette right after he climbed out of the racecar
Nice page from some of our Down Under friends
