I had the chance to visit the circuit some 15 years ago and see the some of the restoration work that was taking place, and wonder what it must have felt like for Fangio drifting flat out through the sweepers. Should be a French national goal to re-connect the missing portion and hold a historic event once a year.

I've checked that the French Grand Prix was held in Formula One cars at least since 1948, including such legends as Talbot T26 and Alfa Romeo 158. The "official" birth of F1 in 1950 is often misleading.

In the other side of the Mexico Gulf and the Atlantic Ocean. This is/was a great track where each bend can make the difference - just look at Fangio! Of course, just like it happened in 1961, a good/better engine can also make the difference with those long straights. A track like this is needed in current F1... Cheers from Portugal!

Thanks so much for the video my friend. What a terrific contribution to Motorsports history your channel is! I know it takes a lot of work to produce, but we appreciate what you do. Your responsible for me spending far too much money on books to learn more on the subjects of your videos. Have you read Chris Nixons "Mon Ami Mate '? That story needs a major motion picture, stat. Now that Ferrari has been made, perhaps the public is ready for the tale of Collins and Hawthorne and the epic highs and lows of 50s F1. One can dream.
