1906 french grand prix

[@jimsmith1856]

90 mph in 1906. Adjusted for inflation that's over 526 mph today!

[@91Redmist]

Lol!

[@maxmulsanne7054]

🤣

[@inkco420]

Although funny- when you consider the race driver conscience, it can be looked as "inflation", because now 16 yo is driving his golf 3 about 100km/h. So yea- probably the feeling and the physics of the vehicle was, not like 526mph, but around 280km/h

[@youngsteph1]

90-95mph on the straight in 1906. Incrediable.

[@danielsmind7072]

this was 115 years ago, let that sink in

[@Circuitsofthepast]

Great footage of the very first Grand Prix. I love these historic motorsport movies :)

[@ryota7483]

Hey where is the old le mans 1906

[@benfoxhall1095]

70mph is scary as hell in my 2016 Ford Ka, can only imagine what 90mph feels like in a bathtub on a dirt track!!

[@Loulovesspeed]

With wood spoke wheels, very high center of gravity, minimal braking capability and no way to keep from being tossed out in an accident, I'm sure it redefined the word scary!

[@XanthusBarnabas]

Tire/petrol/pit strategies, spark advance and throttle controls integrated in the steering wheel, brake balance/migration control mechanisms, power to weight ratios...not much has changed, other than safety... Great upload...!

[@tc19948]

Thank you so much for posting this! The commentary is exceptional and enhances the brilliant footage wonderfully

[@DJAC63]

I thought the exact opposite. It detracted from the footage rather than enhancing it. IMHO.

[@TheLegitaMate1]

This is where Grand Prix racing began. I just find it so funny.... 1906 French GP: 1st: Szisz / Renault 2nd: Nazzaro / FIAT 1907 French GP: 1st: Nazzaro / FIAT 2nd: Szisz / Renault and 100 years after the very first Grand Prix, the French Grand Prix happens again. But this is the outcome: 1st: Schumacher / Ferrari 2nd Alonso / Renault So, the 2006 French Grand Prix was a mirror image and remake of the French Grand Prix that happened 99 years earlier instead of 100. Simply hilarious.

[@oldschoolracinggames5729]

great found buddy

[@maxmulsanne7054]

And yet Bernie and the FIA removed it from the calendar from 2004-2007.

Ferenc Szisz was a Hungarian driver-he was my hero!

[@Woody93185]

I never knew Lancia was an actual race driver (strange I know but something I never thought about)

[@gufo_tave]

Vincenzo Lancia was a Fiat race driver, before founding it's own car company.

[@davidknight114]

And Michelin tires!

[@Cabinessance]

Superb footage of an historic event. Knights of the wheel.

[@davidknight114]

My god dunlop has been around forever!

[@미켈란젤리]

It must be the other dunlop. Dunlop we know was founded around 1965.

[@GeeFunk84]

Don't forget either that each time the cars were rolling on Michelin tyres.

[@KlunkerRider]

Try to imaging driving down the hwy while sitting perched on top of the hood of your car, that pretty much sums up the driving experience

[@adampetten5349]

KlunkerRider Yep they reached 148 km/hr with those tires,brakes and suspensions😮

[@carlospoor8014]

Great historical video ,only if the audio was louder

[@Demetris.Yiokkas]

Much more exciting back then. Some cars had 18 liter engines and topped 170 kph. The organization and paddock had nothing missing compared to today. The circuit was super exciting and dangerous. The racing was totally unpredictable and the winner was decided by the combination of the car’s revolutionary technology, the crew’s faster pit-stops, brains and soul strength.

[@oldschoolracinggames5729]

can’t say better

No assists, no aero, no grip, no power steering, no electronics whatsoever. These are real race cars, not the sim rigs on wheels of today.

[@Loulovesspeed]

The Vanderbilt Cup Races in Long Island, NY, USA from 1904-1910. Racers from Germany, Italy, France and the USA competed. They were the first International automobile road races held in the U.S. In 1908, a Locomobile, built in my home state of Connecticut, won this prestigious event! 😊

Lol, goes to show how much effort was needed to keep those cars running at a race. 😅

[@hristoitchov]

Looks very much like rallying, except they lap the same piece of road.

[@foxy126pl6]

@@marguskiis7711 that was before rally/race split. Races moved to decicated race tracks (and closed street tracks) and rally stayed on public roads

Is this commentator the guy from rush that says:”The returning Niki Lauda seems overwhelmed, being overtaken by car after car. Maybe he’s a danger out there, to himself and to the rest of the field.”?

Great film footage. Far, far too much talking, with barely a pause to take a breath; distracting from the action rather than enhancing it. IMHO
