Niki Lauda’s Crash – Nürburgring 1976
It doesn’t matter which racing era you look at, there has always been tragic accidents. That proved true at the 1976 German Grand Prix as well, when Niki Lauda’s car burst into flames. Remarkably, not only did he walk away from this horrific crash, he would return to race again as well.
