Kyalami 83 on board with Alain prost

[@AlonsoRules]

The original Kyalami was an extraordinary piece of road. The "new" one which was been around longer than the old just doesn't have the same lustre.

[@ashokathegreat4534]

Is the layout as in this video the same as when Pryce died in 1977?

[@MrSkeleton131]

@@ashokathegreat4534 Yes this was the layout of Kyalami for a couple decades

[@mcqueenthee]

Great footage and great sound from the old Renault V6 turbo. What a shame the track no longer exists, it had some fantastic, sweeping corners.

[@transistor754]

Loved the track.. was part of my life.

[@christosswc]

Alain, always so smooth.

[@piearm1271]

So true, he looked relaxed and effortless which is the mark of his genius, quiet and modest man too.

[@diemassnahme7907]

Great driver

[@signfeld3]

I saw superbikes race there in 1983. I sat at "The Kink". They came past at about 300kph. Amazing. I was only 11 years old, but I'll never forget it.

[@diemassnahme7907]

You're right, they said 200mph

[@namkrad333565]

My favorite driver! I just love the way he downshifts this monster :P

Best track on earth. RIP

[@joe744]

niki won here after his 76 accident he was very hapy but was told on poduim about pryce dead , so he wasnt happy after that , that was march 1977 .

[@k-osmonaut8807]

i remember him saying ''that's a victory i can't get pleasure of''

[@diemassnahme7907]

Die geilsten Rennwagen und Fahrer aller Zeiten. Sieht man richtig, wie wild und doll das war. Dagegen sind die Fahrzeuge und Fahrer von heute Spielzeug ... riskieren gar nicht's, ganz anders als Alain ❤

[@beeDUB75]

Alain Prost. Murray Walker. The greatest, both of them.

[@akiper]

3速から4速に入れて回転数あげる音、めちゃくちゃカッコいい‼️

[@justAnotherJapanese]

Shifting from the 4th gear down to the 2nd gear, Alain Prost was able to make a fabulous noise.

[@comali2212]

Awesome Track!

[@VonTripps]

Tom was killed at just about maximum speed at the end of pit row just before the bridge and his car took him all the way down the straight to Crowthorn corner, where it crashed into Jacque Laffite and the barrier. You can see by this in car video that he didn't have a chance to avoid the marshall. His number was up!

[@McLarenMercedes]

Prost has a better podium finishes to races contested ratio than Schumacher. He had 5 champion team mates, Lauda, Rosberg, Senna, Mansell and Hill and came out on top with each one of them. Whereas Prost had those champions (Lauda and Senna took three titles each no less) as team mates, Schumacher had 2nd drivers as back-up like Brundle, Verstappen, Lehto, Herbert, Irvine and Barrichello. None of which had even won a race when they became his team mate. Retired as a champion too.

[@SrPequenoRato]

no wonder why he's called THE PROFESSOR

[@detonator2112]

Schumacher actually had one top teammate. A 40 year old Nelson Piquet who actually outscored Schumacher in those six races they were as teammates. LOL. And some people think he was in the same league with Prost and Senna. Ridiculous.

[@hynee]

1:44 2:59 That's the little rise that doomed Tom Pryce. The marshals should have been instructed not to cross there, but people didn't think about safety like that in those days.

[@transistor754]

most horrible thing I ever saw on TV... they showed it a few times but then banned it...

[@midcitygym]

Beautiful car control.

[@jstoli996c4s]

Check out the video of Keke Rosberg wringing out the Williams Honda at Kyalami 1985, utterly insane 😳

[@jarnokoivula1370]

That´s fantastic!

[@michaelroberts3004]

At 2:04 is where we lost the greatest American born F1 driver. RIP Peter Revson.

[@AtMyOwnPace10]

Although this track is great, I don’t know I like the new one better. It was fast, but the new one got 2 long straights and has technicals corners with undulations.

[@eversonabreu]

No. Tom Pryce's crash in the straight of start at the Kyalami circuit. In the barbecue band dies Peter Revson, three years before.

[@WikiRacing]

no conocia este circuito, alcancé a ver el gp de sudafrica de 1992 y 1993 cuando ya habian cambiado el trazado, realmente tenia una recta impresionante, que era en bajada y luego en subida, me imagino que mas de un motor se habrá reventado por la exigencia, y vi como Alain Prost, mi primer idolo de la formula 1, controlaba ese renault y donde ahi si tenias que saber manejar, especialmente en las curvas rapidas, se notaba desde siempre sus condiciones, y por eso que fue 4 veces campeon mundial

[@vivos71]

@christosswc keystone light, always so smooth

[@ruivargasbarbosa4357]

Exciting circuit!!!

[@xJohnx228x]

This track was MAD Dangerous!!! Kyalami had it's OK moments, it's BAD moments, and it's FUCKED-UP moments!!!

[@TheLukas12364]

i loving the style from murray walker,he is the best!! but the track is also a cool one,but tom pryce died here

[@alphabetaxenonzzzcat]

Another great circuit sadly gone! :(

[@jeshkam]

The original and the only smooth operator.

[@longde]

@t3r080 Search for the video where Senna punches Eddie Irvine in the face and tell me again if Senna was a gentleman. As for your Balestre comment, seems your only sources are the biased "Senna" movie? If Prost "couldn't fit any team" then how could he drive for McLaren in 1980 and then be fully welcome back into McLaren for 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988 and 1989? That's 6 non-stop years at McLaren.

[@motorsportfan1246]

The old one was much better, although the new layout isn’t too bad

[@salvasirignano]

amazing, like tcederholm said it feels so undramatic nowadays in comparison, but there's no reversing technological advance, and the emphasis will continue to shift further away from the driver.

[@5150UK]

Such a great circuit. It's such a shame that this particular track is no more.

[@master-kq3nw]

yes start finish straight no more exsist ,now is kyalami so different no fast like before

[@joe744]

prost the best smartest of all 80's and begining and 90..niki a decade before those 2..for me is formula 1..piquet senna and mansell..know what i mean

[@master-kq3nw]

fantastic circiut and fast, first corner so dangerous.

[@veyronzondaf]

Awesome!

[@joe744]

yeah the straigt when they get to the start/finish line get me the creeps when tom pryce hit that poor marshall at 285 km/h at least ouch...

[@MrHappySnacky]

the circuit changed at 1991 and in 1992 was the first race on the new circuit

[@stephanegouan4999]

Era of turbo F1. Nobody can imagine the violence of these engines, 1200 hp in qualifying!!! At this era, sometimes it was death or glory. All the drivers were heroes, now F1 is for "children", sorry to say that because I still admire them. But in the 80 's when you went out, it was death or end of your career because of injuries

[@Metal4Truth]

honestly though, why is it that you never hear prost mentioned as one of the best drivers ever. you always hear senna and schumacher, and from the true history buffs, tazio nuvolari, jim clark and sometimes even stirling moss. but not a damn word about prost. what do you guys think?

[@Schneppenheimer]

The LAST FAST CORNER the last one for Tom Pryce was called the "Kink" corner Ok Kyalami.

[@000Haze]

head bobbing around over the bumps is just scary, imagine what happens when you hit something -_-

[@kzbxvz]

Just love the 1980's manually shifting gears until the late 1990's and those where the days with group B in rally and real turbo in Formula One whats left for us now in the 2020's?

[@projectilequestion]

Pisses me off when the circuits change or go altogether. It destroys the past and the future, I want to see modern cars racing on the old tracks so that I can compare them. I know that much of the changes are to do with safety but still....

[@evanstephen300]

The reforestation of Hockenheimring by destroying the track seemed unnecessary

[@mrtreize013]

yeah and instead we get a shitty trach in texas thank you so much mr ecclestone

[@TenorCantusFirmus]

- So were the true "old-school" track... Kidding? I hope you aren't saying you mind about nowadays "Tilke-dromes" O_o O_o .

[@ThisIsCush]

@eversonabreu I came here because I just saw an onboard lap of the Bhudda International

[@rvind92g]

Formula One cars with 3.0 litre V10 has the best sound. Watch Jarno Trulli's 2004 Monaco Pole Lap and see why.

[@dot350]

So is Monaco, but it is still considered the grand prize of F1.

[@GTElwood]

Can you 'smell' the danger? guts of Steel, even Alain, not one of my favourite drivers.

[@szlaszlo84]

I would guess it is because he makes the downshift later in the braking phase so the kickback by the engine isn't that great to throw the car off balance..

[@lGGlification]

I don't think so... It was the scene of one of the most bloody crash in the f1 history...

[@joe744]

for me prost as good as senna and better than schumi..schumi had 7 titles but with less competition than when prost race and won his 4 th titles

[@verdirame86]

what a disgrace that formula one isn't like this anymore

[@lecheparavaka]

i would give anything to drive that car...

[@FinSituation]

Wasn't the cirquits fault.

[@f1fan84]

@1HeerenveenSC i dont think any of the circuits u mentioned are boring buddy , i think todays formula 1 has suffered alot from all the changes n rules theyve introduced on the last decade , dont get me wrong i love the racecars cuz theyre fucking fast , but id say that 99% of the time the races r kinda boring

[@szlaszlo84]

Doesn't mean that they are THAT bad though.. just takes time getting used to..

[@MrHappySnacky]

why have they changed the circuit? it was a beautyfull,fast en spectacular circuit and the new circuit is much dumber..

[@joe744]

alonso was baby this time ..prost senna villenueve clark stewart lauda best drivers ever been no need to remember .schumis and hamilton lol but they ok i guess lol just cant compare with those guys i mention

[@Schneppenheimer]

Kalami. ?

[@joe744]

yes tom pryce killed marshall and himself at start/ finish , but wasnt his fault but marshall crossing of course but this course is gr8 or was cause no longer there. prost was master there peterson and others also

[@eversonabreu]

No. K Y A L A M Y.

[@joe744]

well prost a profesor lol..he was real smooth i think the smartest of all drivers and senna the 1 with more balls hehe

[@1HeerenveenSC]

'Kyalamy is another great circuit which has disappeared' 'This one is lost forever' yea, and what do we have now? Boring circuits like Korea, China and gay stuff like that :S

[@Spriteanimator1]

driving on circuits like this would be very boring with todays cars. all corners can be driven almost flat-out.

[@mateagoston7113]

Only 3 corners would be flat out and twice as much, 6 wouldn't. Anyways what's wrong with fast tracks? I think the boring stuff is when a racing serie has 18 or 20 circuits and all of them are similar even if those are tortuous, not a single fast track. And not to mention slipstreaming battles, little different driving skills requiered, engine technology properly tested. Finally also don't forget what the drivers said at 2006 British GP when they raced there with V8s for the first time! All of them liked how they could take many corners flat out, that weren't flat out in the V10 era.

[@t3r080]

@longde You couldn't be more wrong. Both Senna and Schumi were and are gentlemen. You shouldn't believe all that crap media is writing. Ask Brazilians what Senna did and donated for them. There must be also something about Prost's character if he couldn't fit any team. Or can you blame all those teams for that? Didn't think so either. After one famous Suzuka GP, Prost ran into race marshals and complained to FIA President Balestre about Senna's driving. That's how gentleman Prost was.

[@thedorianmode8087]

Was Balestre even there at japan? Senna got DQd fairly, he got 2 push starts from the marshals. The first one was allowed because he was on the track. The second one was instant DQ on the escape road. Don’t believe me, check out the rule book back then. Senna was DQd for seven offences, including dangerous driving and being push started in the escape road by the marshals. Now if the governing body of F1 was in a conspiracy against senna, why wasn’t Senna DQ’d after that shocking 200mph ram into Prost at Japan 90’? Everyone knew senna was going to die, there were just 2 questions. When he was going to die? And, if he was going to take another driver with him. Yes, Senna was that dangerous!

[@joe744]

yes of course even people that werent world champions like pironi ,villenueve never was either and ronnie petersson,

[@tyresmoke]

South Africa had an openly racist policy of segregation back then and many fans and drivers were against going there. Then as the politics changed they rebuilt it for 93, but sadly the new one isn't in F1 either.
