With Niki Lauda at the wheel. Aspern airfield race. This was one of his first monoposto races. During practice he had an accident, while colliding with another competitor, followed by a rollover. While hanging head down in the belts, he asked the hastly approaching constructor of the car, Kurt Bergmann, "Am I allowed to enter the cockpit for the race at afternoon again?"
I visited this race and enjoyed it, sitting on the platform of the VW T1, which can be identified in the background of this picture
