-Wear your seatbelt!!
-I thought all the Fiat 850s had rusted away, but it appears a fair amount of them got destroyed on this corner in 1970
-Lucky escape for a Junior Z at 7:00
-Porsches don't seem to roll

Wear your seatbelt indeed, how scary is it seeing all those people fall out as they roll. I reckon it would of taken days to hammer out the witches hat in the seat of the TZ ;D

A lot of rear engined cars with dodgy rear suspension designs as well.  What was it - a "destructo day derby"?!

Fascinating to watch - happy not to see the clips where people get hurt or killed.  Surprises me how easily cars rolled - I understand with the beetles, but lots of those cars seemed to roll with no hesitation.  High centres of gravity?  Tyre design?  The doors pop open pretty easily as well.  Everything looks like those toy cars that fly apart when they crash.
