1000km of Spa (1970)

[@inquisitor229]

The sight of these Porsche 917 and Ferrari 512 along the Masta and down the Holowell towards Stavelot must have been astonishing.

What a great season was 1970 in sport-prototypes! That first lap's Eau Rouge was very scary, I didn't know that scrap!

Great video. Unfortunately no pictures of other sections of this old monster course of Spa back then. I was on the grandstand at Au Rouge. It was breathtaking those cars passing by that fast so close. and the sounds of the 917 and the Ferarri 512 S. Pure racing more than 50 years ago. Unfortunately there is not even one video from the even faster 1000km race 1971 (4:09:48 h versus 4:01:09 h means average of 249,1km/h.

this is how to race properly - never giving a shit in the first turn on the first lap of a 24 houres race. todays formula 1 sissys would have shit their fireproof pants
