Formula One: Österreichring documentary, Heinz Prüller, ORF 1997 (fragment)

When Formular One returned to Austria in 1997, public Austrian TV station ORF went ballistic and broadcast many hours of coverage each day, starting Wednesday. One part of it was this documentary about the old Österreichring, directed by Heinz Prüller. If I remember correctly, its original running time was around 20-25 minutes, and here is unfortunately only a fragment. I was at the Ring at the time and had to rely on mum to switch VHS cassettes, which went wrong at this point. Nevertheless, there is priceless footage in these 13 minutes.
