[@Circuitsofthepast]

Interesting to see footage of the oval when it was just 2 years old (There was another oval before the war, but the present one was built in 1955). I recentely visited the Monza Oval and filmed also a kind of onboard, but then with a bicycle :)

[@ourafilmes]

Thanks. I didn´t know there was another oval there.

[@douma-wm1ph]

I have been there to a few years back. Me and my father went there to visit the track and we could just walk on the oval part and the part where the races are hold on these days. Its a real shame that the state of the oval track was pretty bad when I visited. Trees fallen over the track, grass growing trough and bad maintenance... such a shame...

[@lefox7944]

Not surprised your here lol

[@fargonianproductions2767]

douma2001 I have heard that since then the owners of the track had a clean up crew semi restore it and have re paved most of the track to host the Monza rally, with the babking

[@PerfectlyFreedom]

Congrats, you earned a sub!

[@alistersutherland3688]

Love the track you used. So good. Speaking of tracks, it's amazing how slow they were going. By the mid 60s, race cars were completely transformed. And then they got seriously fast.

[@ourafilmes]

Thanks. Cheers!

[@maxrudder6091]

That's a sport-racer Bentley from the 1920's-early 1930's. The F1 cars in 1957 were much, much faster, and just about to go rear-engined. They were seriously fast even then.

[@Rintin07]

@@maxrudder6091 Mm. When the Indy racers went to Monza for the 500-mile race that year, the pole time was just over 177mph. It wasn't until Peter Revson in 1971 that they were lapping faster on the flatter, tighter Indy track.

[@NevermindXY]

Meanwhile in Germany in the mid-30s, cars from Mercedes and Auto Union were exceeding 400 Km/h.

Great times and true heroes racing back then!

[@mirrorblue100]

In those days the cars were built for the circuits and not the backwards way round like now. Yes, safety was very poor but could have been improved to keep the classic old circuits going. Great footage - thanks.

[@ourafilmes]

Yes, you are right

[@altfactor]

I believe that in 1957, the Monza oval was used for an event called "Race Of Two Worlds", in which Indianapolis-type cars raced against Formula 1 cars. Since Indy cars could only turn left, both the Indy cars and F1 cars ran counter-clockwise. Supposedly, the fastest F1 car finished behind all of the Indianapolis-type cars that finished the race.

[@ourafilmes]

True, yes. There is a film bout that on YT.

[@INDIGOBLUE555]

The average speed was amazing...

[@TheTimeDetective42]

[@andynixon2820]

Nice jazz . That Bentley must have already been 30 years old when it was filmed .

[@shadowpersonoftheunknown6245]

I'm not sure which is better, the footage or the music 😉 What kind of Jazz is that?

[@ourafilmes]

Cheers! Indigo Jam Unit is a Japanese jazz band formed in Osaka, Japan in 2005

[@oldenweery7510]

I was hoping to see the modernistic towers above the banking as scene in the movie "Grand Prix." For some reason they've always fascinated me. Wish we could've heard the Bentley's engine!

[@ourafilmes]

The original footage did not have any sound so no Bentley sound... It´s a pity indeed.

[@chriskelleher349]

One thing to create an interplay of American and European drivers would be a few good ovals in Europe based on a sedan series. Great to see some NASCAR guys compete with you in one of your touring car series on 2 or 3 ovals.

[@alessandro-alex144k]

1) Sarebbe bello modificare nuovamente il circuito di Monza . 2) Tenendo buono il rettilineo di partenza , al posto del curvone Alboreto e delle due curve Lesmo , si potrebbero fare due curve tipo pista di Indianapolis , più due punti di quasi stop ad una certa distanza dall'uscita dai due curvoni percorsi ad alta velocità , come ad esempio in Canada . 3) Mi domando : come dovrebbe essere la forma dei curvoni ad alta velocità ? Come Indianapolis o come la vecchia Monza , cioè una semicirconferenza ? Altrimenti come ? Quale forma potrebbe essere spettacolare e tecnicamente impegnativa da percorrere ?

[@ourafilmes]

Nel mio video "Storia di Monza" riporto troppi problemi locali perché ciò sia possibile. Solo nei sogni...

[@pedrommanzi2409]

1:40 Actual onboard footage.

[@ourafilmes]

With a short video like this I think that was not necessary at all but hey...it´s just me!

[@oliverroggenbuck7824]

Ah, now i get it why the Parabolica curve is parabolic nowadays. After the closure of the oval, the last turn had to open up to meet the outer straight.

[@ourafilmes]

Both went into the straight. You could use both tracks or only one of them.

[@chiptmcc8656]

A jazz boogie!

[@505197]

Is that a Bently they're driving the track in?

[@ourafilmes]

I think so.

[@pizzasubs]

at around 0:51 guessing that section of track that was gated off to the left, was probably alot more level than the actual Oval section that they were using on the right side??? at right about 1 minute, that had to be one of the largest tire pressure gagues I have ever seen, I mean that dial wqas Huge...LOL

[@andreamoroni97]

That is the part of the circuito stradale, with the anello ad alta velocità (or catino) the track was 10 Km long.

[@luizgiao652]

Is earlier for shure, may be 1937

[@white03Mach1]

great film footage................ i'm wondering what kind of speed were the running ? one other question...........in the movie "Gran prix" how did they incorporate the high banking as part of the road course ?

[@ourafilmes]

Thanks. Honestly, can´t answer any of your questions... I don´t know...

[@japotak99]

They’d run the front stretch twice in one lap. There were cones separating it down the middle. You’d exit parabolica and you’d be on the right side of the front stretch and you’d head onto turn 1 of the oval. When you came off turn 4 of the oval you’d be on the left side of the oval and you’d head down to curve grande to start the road course. www.formula1.com/content/fom-website/en/latest/features/2015/9/high-risk--high-interest---a-brief-history-of-italian-banking/_jcr_content/featureContent/manual_gallery/image1.img.640.medium.jpg/1441370678767.jpg

[@hmdwgf]

This banking was built in 1955 to replace the 1922 banking. Why couldn't they have built the banking out of tarmac instead of concrete? Ovals in the US were already doing that...

[@zmgamerz7680]

imagining old Monza being used for the 2022 grand prix

[@ourafilmes]

If they had the 1922 configuration it would be a nice track for that race!

[@timford3599]

I would LOVE to see video(s) of the 1957-58 "Race of Two Worlds." Indianapolis 500 Watson and Kurtis Kraft Roadsters take on the Monza Oval for the only two races that were ever run there. Does anyone know of their existence, or if there are any available on KZbin?

[@ourafilmes]

Tim, that´s easy! Just search for it! 1957 race: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYOmfX6jhqefrMU

[@MrJay84b]

Why were they running the races clockwise on the oval ?

[@ourafilmes]

Good question.I never saw Monza backwards...

[@toml.8210]

I was looking for a video of an old Formula 1 in-car lap. It's too bad they only recorded part of the lap in this video.

[@ourafilmes]

Hi. My friend this is what I have... I guess you are forgetting how rare footage like this is and that the technology that existed back then to do something like this. This was recorded in a small film camera that not work on batteries - it does have a string that you have to wind and it gives you about 30 sec of recording time. It would be impossible to record a full lap in one take! Cheers!

[@klaseronen7535]

Both are unforgiving, the track and the music.

[@ourafilmes]

Great comment!

[@klaseronen7535]

@@ourafilmes I enjoyed both the film and the music. Thank you! 👍🏻

[@Alex-cb1id]

Nice video, congratulations. Can anybody tell me how was the track when the drivers ran on the oval? Did the drivers only ran on the oval or did they ran on other stretches of the track (apart from, of course, the starting and arrival straight) where the F1 cars still run today?

[@ourafilmes]

Usually one or the other - not both at the same time. Here´s a great exception: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYOmfX6jhqefrMU

[@bloqk16]

I realize this is coming in late, but the full race course with the oval was used in the Sports Car International Championship of Makes in the 1960s; with the race length being 1000 km; or 100 laps. Imagine driving a Porsche 908 or a Ford GT 40 for 1000 km with being on that banking for 100 laps; of course, the race had a two-driver tandem. The oval was no longer used for the sports car races in the 1970s.

[@michaelturner4457]

Ah the days when race drivers wore tweed jackets and flat caps, even at Monza.

Un vero peccato quel grave errore progettuale consistito nel non avere previsto i plinti dei pilasti portanti inseriti in una trave continua, che ha portato ad avere assestamenti differenziali sui pilastri portanti delle curve sopraelevate con il relativo inutilizzo di tale pista dopo pochi anni a causa delle conseguenti discontinuità dell'impalcato strutturale della pista medesima!

[@ourafilmes]

È tutto vero ma all'epoca era il migliore che c'era. Potrei sbagliarmi e potrebbero esserci storie che non conosco. Sinceramente dubito che fosse ancora in uso, soprattutto senza chicane come in Monthlery di questi tempi... In Europa, tutti gli ovali originali non sono più in uso come ovali... e sono musei...

[@fabrizioviscardi40]

@@ourafilmes Intanto mi complimento per il tuo canale con radice in Portogallo, molto interessante ed al quale mi iscrissi 2 settimane fa, all'epoca della sua scoperta da parte mia. Per quanto riguarda il circuito in esame ricordo che già nel 1966 in occasione della realizzazione del film Grand Prix, girai per oltre 200 km su quella pista, quale pilota controfigura degli attori e già a quell'epoca i sobbalzi alle alte velocità impressi da quanto sopra descritto, erano notevoli, tant'è che la sopraelevata fu poi abbandonata definitivamente. Un vero peccato poiché ancora oggi avrebbe potuto essere una pista per collaudi o per altre manifestazioni. Quanto tu affermi in ordine agli altri circuiti è vero e le cause degli abbandoni ebbero varie motivazioni, le più disparate. Complimenti ancora ed a presto risentirci. Ciao Fabrizio
