1962 German GP, Nürburgring. Conditions: wet. Very wet.

We invite you to take a trip back in time - to a wet, soggy Nürburgring - as we re-live the 1962 German GP with Peter Windsor.  The race resulted in a classic win for BRM's Graham Hill - but that was just the start of it.  Hill was lucky to survive a lurid practice crash;  Porsche, with Dan Gurney, were superquick after a week of testing; and for a while on Sunday, with mudslides making life perilous for the 350,000-strong crowd,  it seemed as though the race might not happen at all.  Peter  details these  events and more - and concludes this podcast with an assessment of the astonishing success of BRM chassis no 5781.  With 23 top-ten finishes to its credit, is it the most successful GP car of all time?
