60fps upscaled clip of the 1973 Targa Florio (please watch in 1080p60 / 720p60). Original footage is from Archivio Nazionale Cinema d'Impresa (CIAN). I added sounds to the video as the original film was silent.

To the uploader: I recommend getting this sent in to a 4K enhancement expert. They probably won’t even charge you to do it. They’d colour correct it, shadow/highlight/contrast correct it and make it look like it was filmed today. I don’t think I’ve ever seen better, more crisp footage of the TF, so it would be extremely historically relevant to have that done.

WOW!! THANKS so much for providing such a realistic experience. When this race took place, I was a senior in high school in a small town in California. I had no clue such exciting events occurred. Within a few months of graduating, I was working full-time and still living at home. I had the off chance of working with a guy who was originally from the Santa Barbara area and was a Porsche fanatic (had owned several 356's). Needless to say, I got infected with the Porsche bug; saw a drawing of a 911 (soft rear window) Targa in a magazine and became obsessed with the design/appearance. Because I had a good job and still lived at home I was able to qualify for a bank loan to buy a car. And you wouldn't believe that I found the exact model for sale (1968 911L soft rear window Targa) and bought it, all within four months of graduating from high school. For a few years I didn't even know the Targa was named after the Targa Florio (And it took me at least that long to pay it off). Anyway Formula60, I very much appreciate the context you have so generously provided. Wish I could have been there, but, this is the next best thing (and Laguna Seca is not so bad). ÷o Oh yeah, still have the 911L.

Being 2020, it's worth mentioning that in 1973, while Ferrari spent most of their resources in Sports Prototypes to no avail (Matra still took Le Mans), the F1 team was in complete disarray, did not even present the cars for the German and Dutch races, after a horrible race at Monza, #1 driver Ickx quit the team, and a then young Luca de Montezemolo was sent to steer the ship ; the SP project was canned, and only two years later a Ferrari driver won the F1 championship. Worth recalling now that the F1 team is in deep trouble again.

@neutronalchemist3241 3 жыл бұрын

The 312PB dominated 1972 World Championship of Makes, but didn't participated to Le Mans, because the Ferrari technicians thought the F1-derived engine would not have lasted. In 1973 the Matra-Simca won several races at the start of the season, so the 312PB was forced to participate to Le Mans, to not loose to many points, even if the technicians had little hope for it to make to the finish line. In the end, it fared better than they thought. Merzario and Pace arrived second overall, Ickx and Redman retired at 90 minutes from the end. At Le Mans you have to pass the finish line to be classified, but Ickx and Redman completed more laps than the 3rd classified, the second Matra-Simca.

THIS is the kind of footage that inspired me to be a shooter for the past 40 years. Grazie!
