Note the spectators are around the oval without any protection

If at this event there was still skiers towed by motorbykes or cars,

Remember that we are in 1959
The 550 even in the RS version are already obsolete race cars superseded at Porsche by the 718 RSK
Even if the pilots are very well known this race is just for fun

From the pilot position I bet that Hushcke Von Hanstein was driving the dark 550 and Richard Von Frankenberg the metalized grey one

That's a crazy competition! Red Bull should think of resurrecting it.

Welcome back Gerard. Here's another one of Otto I found.

Thank you Vance

These shots are to me more than cool! I'm so full of gratitude to have been able to drive almost every one of these roads...in a Speedster, no less. Most all of them have been widened and paved today, but they are still scary as hell, with some of the most beautiful vistas on this earth. You have no idea how slippery wet cobblestones can be, and it rains a lot up there, and here's some one-armed Dude beating the feathers off the factory cars and factory drivers... gotta love Otto!

[JTR70]

That really puts it into perspective Craig Thank you!

Fantastic as usual Gerard, Thank you!

[Porschinelle]

The stands to day

Anyway in the 50's this place was crowded to look at the dauntless pilots fighting hard in the dust
