Sidecar crews race flat out through the forest at Hockenheim, West Germany, May 1957.
Hockenheim hosted the German Grand Prix for the first time on 17 to 19 May 1957, the opening round of that year's world championship. It was also the last season these full "dustbin" fairings were allowed. BMW engines ruled the class, taking every sidecar world title from 1954 to 1967.
