Just a quick reminder to all of those saying they wish they were there in the 60’s to watch these beast race instead of the blenders we have nowadays... if you were there in the 60’s the tv coverage would be a complete nightmare for our contemporary attention spans, complete lack of data on screen, no KZbin videos of highlights, replays, calendar of 10 races, etc. You would basically catch a glimpse of F1 if it came to your home country and that’s it. I, for one, rather have what we have nowadays (which is pretty awesome btw) and still catch a glimpse of these beauties from other eras on KZbin.

I like how some people always make a steel balls joke on these kinds of videos(best part of the comment section is the creative ones lol)... in all seriousness the real reason they can drive these cars with little to no fear is because they have a very deep understanding of the vehicle and how it acts in multiple scenarios. The cherry on top is the fact that they love racing, most will never openly say they "love" it for the sake of being "manly" 😂 but they do. You can't get that far into racing without loving it and accepting what it can do to you. Anyone who has a loved one that races whether its a sim race(some are unable to race irl) or real race knows a racer's heart is a wild one and you won't stop them because you can't catch their ass.
