This is the St. Peter am Kammersberg hillclimb in the Austrian Alps, 1988. You get to see some of the coolest racing cars in the world, and you get to see them crash.

Yes, back in the day people used to run Porsche 935s RSRs, monsters that charged down the Mulsanne Straight at 235 178 miles an hour, up tiny one-lane mountain roads. Unsurprisingly, they crashed with some regularity.
