I got to see this car race at Ontario in 1971. It was a combined F1/ Formula 5000 race run in two heats. Andretti was the overall winner in the Ferrari. The most amazing engine sound was from the V12 Matra. It was amazing. Hard to admit as I am a huge Ferrari fan, but the Matra won the engine sound challenge that year!

[@Americathebeautiful49]

Questor Grand Prix. I agree the Matra took it from Ferrari. Too bad that track doesn’t survive today.

[@luisbranko.]

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.

[@andreamoroni97]

They will also be cheap thanks to the racetrack being right there and the market considering the only good things a main road a bit to the East and not being that far from the city centre, so if the owners would ever sell it would be a bargain for a petrolhead.

[@larryboyes7276]

Fantastic sounding unit. Only thing that came close, and was in fact more piercing, was the Matra .

[@robertaccorsini4663]

I’m definitely a member of the Tifosi, but nothing else sounded like Jacque Laffite in the Matra V12 in practice at Watkins Glen

[@larryboyes7276]

I go a bit farther back, Robert. I remember sitting in the grandstand between Paddock Hill bend and Druids , and having to cover my ears the sound was so shrill. The stand was made of scaffolding type poles and I think they accentuated the sharpness of the Matra unit. This wouldve been 1970 when JP Beltoise drove.

[@SixxWolfZx]

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. Have a good night/day everyone.
