Well, not serious in the end :D

AND A GUY DIYNG TRYING TO GET UP THE CAR

in this time anything less than 12 casualties is considered an uneventful race.

Only 3 people died that race that’s something the safety people would have been proud of

In these days that was considered calm in motorsport 😆

He was right.. the cars did not get wrecked this race Just 3 race drivers died

Don’t worry, Lakitu rescued them like he always does in Rainbow Road.

Where’s his string of onions.

What a strange circuit tbh :D

Very like the old Monza in the way the straight is divided into 2 with one side approaching the banking and the other coming off it.

You could not have 2 circuits that are more different what are you thinking of.

@@Davyfb75 There is a tunnel - it was just a lot shorter than the present one so you had to travel further around the right hand bend before you entered it. The "modern" tunnel was first seen at the 1973 Monaco GP.

What if not only the car but also the driver and his entire crew as well. I wonder how will our modern Racers stack up to their skills on the track. I’ve been trying to search up their techniques it seems quite similar in turns and passing but i will do some more research on it If japan were to make a manga/animated series on this then i would definitely love to see it

They'll be mind-blown for sure. And modern racers will mostly win considering all their racing knowledge they got from "racing academies"

ErikGPL I know! he didn't lose his legs

He thereafter put them to good use, suddenly turning into Roadrunner...beep-beep...

Whine is what it was good at

a nice time to take a breather.

I can’t imagine what it must have been like driving on those streets in those old cars with their ridiculous top speeds and their brakes made out of old rags and bits of scrap…

Also, trying to corner at any speed on those skinny old tires and with those cars and their high center of gravity

Coffee?! I'm sure you meant cognac!

This is not Formula 1

whats crazier is, I feel like it might've been maximum. Especially with those massive engines

Not Monza, French Grand Prix at Montlhéry

It's kinda dumb to me

These were men who had fought in WWI. Can you imagine the horrors they saw. They were racing these cars to feel alive again.

Those 'helmets' were there to hold in the earplugs and keep the grease out of their hair...

4:40mercedes comes to francd to race . They had to win Rudolf Caracciola was the greatest driver second maybe to fangio by then mercedes team principal alfred neubeur. He was hired by hitler and the key mercedes headcount to win.he had build the team bigger than 5-10x the size of competitors during the ww2times.they had 5times as many engineers and mechanics and fod the racing team itself they took to every gp. It was total dominance.there was no chance of failure.

For sure

A lot of these cars were capable of 130 - 170 mph. Some cars (though not racing cars) were able to do 200 mph+. The Sunbeam 1000, driven by Henry Seagrave, reached 203 mph in 1927.

It's sort of a season review film of the 1934 season.

Of course, what else.

Some were actually awd

Not a crazy question ,as Harry MIller was experimenting with front-wheel drive cars and Bugatti had introduced 4WD racers at the time. But seems they didn't win anything.

It looked quite fast still .

The 1934 Mercedes W25 had almost 500 bhp with a weight of 750kg. Topspeed with that could have been up to 300 kmh. The land speed record in 1934, with a streamlined chassis and a V12 was 317 kmh.

Averaging around 60mph through the race

Fast enough to grow some hair on their balls.

I would say whoever among the modern drivers are best in the wet would be the fastest in these old cars. I think the hardest part of the modern drivers would be adapting to the track conditions. Modern tracks are like glass they are so smooth in comparison.

Some F1 drivers race or demonstrate these cars even today.

I bet the mechanic needed replacement overalls though lol

👍🏻👍🏿👍🏽👍!

Not so strange. Originally, Ferrari was just a team who raced with cars from other manufacturers (for a period, it was the Alfa Romeo racing team). It was after the WWII that Ferrari began a car costructor. And if you see, on Ferrari race cars, there are three badges: -One rectangular on the front (the brand of the car manufacturer) -Two shield-shaped on the sides (the brand of the racing team, in Italian, of the "Scuderia")

No the driver was George bailey. Broke his wrist lol. Unfortunately he did die a few years later. Hit the outside wall at Indianapolis and his gas tank exploded :(

👍👍🏽👍🏿👍🏻 Oo___v___oO!

Benz the King!

+Carl Napp Could be, could not be, we'll never know. Countries leaders have different priorities, even to this day some industries will get national financial support while others will not. What i found more interesting is the early mid engine designs, which were apparently abandoned in favor of front engine designs for almost 20 years.

When I take into account the fact, that at the beginning the Auto Unions were very hard to handle and Bernd Rosemeyer was the only one to really master them, I can understand the tendency to avoid rear respectively mid engines. Later one due to new chassis suspensions and better tyres, it was different. After all, I think the conventionals in the fifties like those from Italy, UK and Germany were much better looking racing cars. To me, a real Indy car is with a front engine.

Erano gli anni 30, non ci si può aspettare il meglio😂
