I'm really impressed with the level of camera work, pit reporters, blimp shots, etc. for a race from 1973! Great stuff

As much as I enjoy the modern day F1 Gladiators, this is so very special, this is balls out racing and it's a great feeling watching this ( never seen it before ) just clips, I got so excited watching this race it was like watching a modern day grand prix but just so much more fun, thanks for sharing, this it made me feel like a young kids again, there are some cool things I miss from the 70's and this is right up there.

Certainly more appealing than Murray Walker. I wish I knew the commentator who called the Group C races in the early to mid-80's. He was really good.

Damn, listen to these cars. Those are "real" engines!! Look at the power slides, almost all the way around, every lap, every turn. The tires weren't mad to grip completely. They lasted a whole race, on average. The drivers spent as much time glancing in the rear view mirrors as looking forward. This is how F-1 should be. Not the crap we have today, tires that completely dictate races, cars that barely slide, all look the same (as opposed to every single car in this race in 1973 being different), all looking like electric slot cars. Big fat tires. Just can't get any better.

Well Reutemann in the first start. Then it seems that they started again in the same positions of the classification and lost their third position. Today it would be done in another way. What a mess did Scheckter.

Why didn't someone strangle Baxter before the start and let the race run in silence until Graham took over when his car inevitably broke down ? BTW if 'Yody' (oh dear oh dear) hadn't crashed Jackie would have won by miles...

Revson got screwed out of the drive with McLaren. Fittipaldi suddenly left Lotus and went to McLaren, bringing with him Marlboro sponsorship. Something broke on Revson's car during pre-season practice at Kyalami, S. Africa, sending Revson into the armco barriers. These are the same armco barriers Jackie Stewart kept demanding !!! If there had been a run-off area, maybe Revson would have made it. His car caught fire and there was no rescue equipment or fire trucks. There are pictures of Hulme in short sleeves and Hill in his full uniform trying to get to Revson's body. He had no chance. For everyone saved by those armco barriers, another person got killed by them. Helmut Koinegg driving for Surtees was beheaded when he went underneath one of them at the USGP. Cevert was also killed by them, being essentially cut in half. I know Stewart meant well, but lining dangerous corners with them was absurd. I can't believe there wasn't a better way, even way back then.
@ysgol37 жыл бұрын
William - Very interesting points. Yes I agree that run off areas are much better, but of course one of the problems with these old circuits was there was no room for run offs - for example where Cevert crashed there had to be a barrier because that bit of track was above ground - it was called 'The Bridge'. However, another point against barriers is that, as John Surtees recently said, they were deadly for motorbikes, as shown in Monza in 1973 when two riders were killed in one incident. Catch fencing seemed a good compromise, what do you think ?
@ysgol37 жыл бұрын
William - Me again - plus some drivers died becauuse the barriers weren't fitted properly, not because of the barriers themselves - Rindt and Williamson for example - I know Williamson was scandalously allowed to burn in his car but if the barrier hadn't 'given way' when his suspension failed his car would almost certainly not have overturned.
@williambrown63477 жыл бұрын
Yes, damn good points. You're right, the barrier that Rindt hit was not far enough flush with the ground, so Rindt's wing went under the lower level of armco and hit a wooden post, immediately stopping the car and ripping off the entire front end. It was so violent that Rindt submarined in the car, going so far forward that he cut his neck on the harness and maybe something else. If he'd had been wearing a 3-point harness as Jackie Stewart wore, he might have lived, but he evidently didn't like them. Still, the injuries to his feet would have been severe enough that he'd have never returned to racing, only staying as long as he did because Chapman promised to give him a car, in the Lotus 72, that truly could bring him the championship; it did, but not before killing him. The mechanics, on Colin's insistence, had drilled too many holes in the front drive shaft that it was weakened and broke, sending Rindt into his spin. I've talked to any number of mechanics for other F-1 teams from that era and they all have told me that mechanics and drivers knew too much lightening of Lotus parts was being done and that some other teams intentionally built their cars stronger and heavier even though it might cost them 1 sec here and there.

I've always thought that Jackie's first start here was every bit as good as Senna's in Donington in 1973, yet it seems that only Senna's is remembered. What a pillock Raymond Baxter was with his 'Pete' Revson and 'Yody' Scheckter and Francois 'Sevaay' and his constant boring naming of corners because he had nothing interesting to say. Why wasn't Graham Hil simply allowed to do the commentating by himself ? I bet if the wonderful Graham had lived he would have become the main BBC commentator alongside the many other things his awful death prevented him doing.

***** Sorry, you're wrong. It's well known that the 73 Lotus was better than the 73 Tyrrell. Emerson Fittipaldi has said so no TV.
@MrTann20109 жыл бұрын
ysgol3 Ye But the Tyrells had fewer reliable issues and that, (along with Stewart's driving skill) brought Stewart to the Title. Fittipaldi and Peterson were great drivers, but I think Stewart was better. Kinda reminds me of Senna's 1991 WC victory, where his McLaren was 2nd best alongside the Williams, but managed to win due to skill and fewer reliablity issues than the Williams cars. Furthermore, Senna was also better skillwise than both Mansell and Patrese, who were great drivers.
@ysgol38 жыл бұрын
+NEW CHANNEL, READ MY FEED Thanks for your interest, sorry I stand by my comment (!) Stewart was also a rainmaster (as in the Nurburgring 1968) and, as I said, Fittipaldi has said on camera that the 73 Tyrrell wasn't as good as the 73 Lotus. When Jackie passed Ronnie at Becketts close watchers could see Ronnie shaking his head in disbelief, indeed there's a lovely film of Ronnie + Jackie chatting before the restart with Ronnie congratulating JYS for his start.
