The Streamlined W125 at Avus. Lang’s streamliner was fitted with covers over the wheels and while doing 370-390 km/h on the straight air became trapped under the car and the front wheels lifted from the ground! Luckily the driver kept calm and finally managed to bring the wheels back down. ” I could not see the road and immediately though - I must not move the steering - for if the wheels return to the road in a different position there is no bound to be an accident” Lang demanded the wheel covers to be removed before the race.
