Madmen in a wooden kettle
For more than 80 years, visitors to the Munich Oktoberfest have been able to be astonished by the show of "Pitt's Wall of Death", one of the most spectacular motorsport shows in the world.
The daredevil tricks of the acrobats around Jagath Perera take place in an old wooden kettle with vertical walls, in which the audience can almost touch the passing drivers at the top. Many visitors traditionally come back once a year when visiting the Oktoberfest.
