This is truly remarkable video footage of a bygone era of Formula 1 Grand Prix racing. I followed motorsports back then, but living in the US, only read about such races via print media; so to see this race as it was televised 50 years ago is a GREAT TREAT!! There's loads of aspects I can write about this. But, I'll exercise patience and space them apart in the days to come. One aspect I will write about now is the amazing logistics that were done to televise this event. Being a 14 miles/23km race course, setting up the cameras was a monumental task, especially so given it was only a 14 lap race. A lot of work preparations for so little repeated use of the cameras along the race course.

Having the video without the banter from the announcers made this video exceptionally nice to watch, it was almost like being at the race itself; with just hearing the roar of the engines and the squealing of the tires. The captions in the video was a very nice informative touch to this post. I remember reading about the account of this race from the Autoweek publication I subscribed to at that time. Seeing video of the race is something I thought I'd never see in my lifetime. Given the size of the 'Ring, and given the hilly terrain and being heavily forested, setting up the cameras for the telecast must have been near nightmare.

@@chopperking1122 Hi, yes, behind Stewart and Cevert in their last 1-2. Ickx was so brilliant, and still in his 20s in 1973, when Ferreri was at their lowest point! He did drive for Lotus in 1974 of course, presumably expecting great things since Lotus won the 73 Constructors' title (facilitated for them by Tyrrell withdrawing from the final GP at The Glen following Cevert's horrendous death there). Maybe it was just that Jacky kept making decisions which were, in hindsight of course, no good - rather like Rindt of course, who didn't strike gold until his last, and ultimately tragic, season.

Yet at that time he still didn't want to see the 'Ring altered or replaced with another circuit.

An aspect I marvel about F1 racing as shown in this 1969 video: Notice the absence of sponsors' patches on the drivers' uniforms and the cars themselves; which was pretty much limited to tires, fuel, and oil placards. It was a gentlemen's sport back then, where technology wasn't expensive to have competitive machinery under the FIA rules of the era.

Great dice between Stewart and Ickx, but the Brabham was clearly faster that day. Not only that, but the reason that the Ring had its last year without safety features was because of Stewart, and he was persona non grata at that moment among everyone other than the driving fraternity (most of whom had gone on strike at Spa.) He hated this race. It had cost so many lives, ruined so many young men's bodies. The wrecks were horrendous. He may well have decided vying for the lead just wasn't worth it. He won pretty much everything else that year, including the title(s)
@fazzxides84292 жыл бұрын
Ickx, quickest in practice for pole and then quickest in the race, that’s all there is to it. Ickx made a poor start dropping down to 9th from pole. By the time he’d worked his way through the field into second, Stewart had established a commanding lead of over 10 seconds. Ickx had no trouble making that up. That would have told Stewart everything he needed to know about his prospects of holding Ickx off till the end of the race, he simply wasn’t quick enough. Second best on the day, that’s all. No disgrace in that.

Not quite the same tv coverage back in the day so just commenting from books that I have read during the intervening period. Until Hunt and Lauda were "ruling the roost" Stewart was my favourite. Got more interested in bike racing in the late '70's with Sheene and Roberts and just a passing interest in F1 from Piquet to Mansell, Prost and Senna. Neither sport is anywhere near as exciting these days as technology rules even more so. F1 just more exciting at present with Mercedes not dominating as they have over the past 10 years or so.

Early F1 aerodynamic designs. I think 1968 was when some cars started showing up with wings mounted on struts, which often failed, leaving the driver to cope with sudden loss of downforce in the middle of a turn. 1969 cars had wings integrated into the body. Probably not very effective by todays standard of making 3.5g's in a turn. I think 1.2g's is about what they would do. A modern street car with soft compound tires and no significant aero aids can do 1.2g's. All that said, I think I prefer 1967 as the cutoff point for beautiful, pure F1 car design before Pandora opened her box of aerodynamics. The 1967 Eagle was the most beautiful.

Thank you for uploading this wonderful footage. I often wonder at what price point a modern car will match the performance of these, given the purposeful (v. low CG, aero etc.) nature of these cars - ie. perhaps not really fair to compare with a modern hot hatch! Having once owned a 911 and currently riding a superbike, it's easy to take the sort of accel and handling we get today for granted. I've not had much luck looking up the specs of these cars of the day - my guess would be HP (~300??) and weight (~500kg??) etc. Cheers and thanks again from Sydney, Aust - Dave

@deldridg . . . don't sell yourself short with regards to looking up specs of the F1 cars from the 1960s. If you use a search engine such as Google, just type in the words of _1969 F1 Brabham_ and you'll get results of the BT26 that Jacky Ickx and Jack Brabham drove in that season. Same for Matra, just write in _Matra F1 1969_ and the results for the MS80 will appear. The commonly used F1 engine of 1969, Ford Cosworth DFV, was rated at over 400 HP. Ah! I noticed you are in Australia . . . I recall the "Tasman Series" taking place in your country back in the 1960s to the mid-70s; with those slightly downsized engines in the F1 cars; with Jim Clark and Graham McRae being multiple season champs.

@bloqk164 жыл бұрын
@deldridg . . . Ah! You are looking for performance specs? Well, those were guarded secrets by the F1 teams, at least they were back in the mid to late 1960s as closely as I followed them back then; as no one wrote about acceleration performances or top-end speeds of the F1 cars. Something else, though, was that back in the '60s the vehicle instrumentation and telemetry was such that getting a measure of straight-line speeds was challenging; and probably not worth the efforts by the teams to do, as lap times was the primary concerns the F1 teams had during the race season. To get a read of top-end speeds of F1 cars, as what's in this 1969 YT post, the driver would have to report what the top-end rpm was at the top gear. From there, a person would have to calculate the gear ratio to the rpm reading; and that's how the km/h, or as me being a yank would do, in mph, to come up with the top-end speed. The gear ratios to rpms was how the top-end speeds were calculated with the sports cars than ran along the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans for the 24 hours race, well into the 1970s, where the Porsche 917 was calculated at a speed of 362 km/h - 225 mph.

Only V12 in the race was the BRM of Jackie Oliver who qualified a distant 16th and retired with 3 laps to go ;-)

Ickx is the most unlucky driver ever how many grand prix in the lead before retiring because his Ferrari was too tired to go to the end ? HE SHOULD have been at least 2 or 3 times world champion Stewart did not like Ickx 2 yerars before he knew who was to be his serious rival Stewart always says nice words when he talks about Peterson fittipaldi ect but i never heard him say nice things on Ickw jealous scotish man

I read from a historic automotive publication that Ickx's F1 successes towards the end of the 1969 season was due to Jack Brabham's injury that took him out of F1 competition for a while. It was written that with Jack Brabham out, then Ickx's BT26 racer received the first-rate parts/equipment that would have otherwise been used in Jack's racer. The article suggested that Ickx's impaired performances for 1969 was from getting second-rate parts/equipment from the Brabham team.

@@brianhartley2258 Sorry, that was a bit over the line. Ickx was rough on the Formula 1 Ferraris. Just watch the races. Jackie Stewart has said the same thing. Ickx was great in Sports Cars, though

Only 24 years after the Holocaust. Must have seemed like yesterday. I know 9/11 does to me. I was working at DFW airport on that fateful day. Certainly not an apples to apples comparison considering how many suffered at the hands of the Germans.
