Back in the day of beautiful F1 cars, great competitive racing and romantic courses.

No wings, no ground effects - just pure driver skill.

[@jakobbb6405]

So wings and ground effect require less skill by the driver?

[@mirrorblue100]

@@jakobbb6405 Thats correct.

[@jakobbb6405]

@@mirrorblue100fair enough, I don’t think that’s true. Look at the Lotus 78 those cars were not easy to drive

The "Grand prix" movie year

[@fabrizioviscardi40]

During the time that the crew was in Monza for the shooting I won a race and at the award ceremony Francoise Hardy gave me a kiss for the victory. After this victory, the director made me do the stunt driver for the actors. There was a beautiful girl who is still my wife and sometimes she reminds me of this episode. Memories now too distant in time! Durante il periodo in cui la troupe era a Monza per le riprese ho vinto una gara e alla premiazione Francoise Hardy mi ha dato un bacio per la vittoria. Dopo questa vittoria, il regista mi ha fatto fare lo stuntman per sostituire gli attori nei passaggi in pista ad alta velocità. C'era lì una bella ragazza che è ancora oggi mia moglie ed a volte mi ricorda questo episodio. Ricordi ormai troppo lontani nel tempo! I sub your channel, cheers Fabrizio

Old F1 races are so nostalgic!

[@LaPtiteAnglaise]

Yes. They’re old. Hence… nostalgia.

[@Ralph2]

And that, children, is what a Formula One car sounded like.

[@WynnofThule]

My favorite sounding F1 car was the 1961 Porsche 718/2. Back when F1 cars were also the same as F2 cars the 718 had a fire-breathing 1.5 liter Flat 4 making an unfathomable 142hp. Those were the good old days...

Beautiful Jackie Stewart victory.

[@ysgol3]

Brilliant win for Jackie, he also nearly won Indy that year, but his terrible crash in Belgium set him back. He took a long time to be back to his best again, the car didn't help of course, his next GP win was in 1968 after he left BRM.

[@tomnewham1269]

Another fact from this race was that only 4 cars were classified as finishers, the least amount of finishes of any F1 race.

Nice to see film of the actual 1966 cars instead of clips from "Grand Prix." (Gotta admit that the MGM crew who fabricated the movie's cars did a darn good job of making them look right.)

[@keithmoister3477]

John F., director, filmed in the pit lane for 1 hour before the start of the actual race for his movie. He then filmed most of the actual race. All the shots in the movie from the air are of the actual, real F1 1966 Monaco grand prix. Most of the other shots are from 17 cameras he had around the track. The only time he used 'dummy' cars were for closeups of his drivers in cars and for his crashes. Also note that some of the cars in the real race look like 'mockups' because they were 1.5 litre cars from the 1965 season used by teams who had not yet fitted the newly allowed 3 litre V8 motors for the 1966 season. So, the footage in the movie is the best footage ever seen in F1 before the money for TV rights bought better cameras.

[@cindyscott54]

@@keithmoister3477 They spent a great deal of time recording engine sounds on track with small tape recorders mounted on Hill's BRM. Phil Hill also ran laps in practice in a custom Ford GT-40 with a 65mm Panavison camera mounted on the nose. The chassis. The camera operator, in the passenger seat, had a remote device with a tiny TV screen. He could pan the camera a few degrees right & left in the corners as Hill followed the real cars on track. Garner was fast from the start, Yves Montand & Sabato kept spinning their cars, and Bedford simply couldn't drive a car...period. When they did get him going, he couldn't shift properly. There's a very interesting shot in the movie, where the helicopter is tracking the cars leaving the tunnel and onto the chicane. The camera passes right over the film company's race car staging area. All of the hero cars are parked right there... especially visible - the Aron & Stoddard BRM's. I saw the film, in 70mm Super Panavision - on a deeply curved Cinerama screen, at age 12 with my cousin's SCCA region on premier night; they were harshest technical/driving critics ever. I didn't care. I just knew I'd become addicted to racing and speed.
