1:39 'Boyfriend hero'?
@KMTBB20 күн бұрын
It’s 2024.. Henri and Sergio have been gone a long time now.. But, we still view these videos of their heroics, and remember them with love and admiration 💚
Hill carried Team Lotus on his back in 1968 after Clark's death, and he won the championship. After he broke both legs at Watkins Glen in 1969 everyone said his career was over. (both legs were snapped in the opposite direction at the knees). He fought back from that injury and raced again. A man of incomparable strength and will. RIP

Wonderful over all and En Detail. I am german and a Jaguar D Type driven by Mike Hawthorn and Desmond Titterington to me is as British as the SR.N4 Mountbatten. Which is missed here equally as the Ring as a racetrack is. Thankyou :)

I read a book about this race written from the Aston Martin point of view. One page showed the tool kit for the pit crew. It was pitiful! In fact the picture of the full kit was presented on one whole page of the book.

What a find . Drivers mentioned include Jimmy Stewart , Jackie Stewart’s older brother , and Paul Frere who was very badly injured many years later whilst driving at the Nurburgring . And Peter Collins , who was killed at Nurburgring in 1958 . I saw Collins win the 1958 British Grand Prix two weeks earlier . I was 5 years old !

Interestingly, Jimmy had a similar accident to Jackie's. Over turned in a D Type with fuel pouring over him. That was it for Jimmy, he quit racing that day...

Thanks for the upload. Always exiting to see the Jags, Ferraris, Maseratis and Astons - which are now worth millions - in raw action. And how surprising and frightening to watch this massive Ford Thunderbird convertible (driven by Günther Isenbügel and Helmut Rathjen) wobbling around the ring. It seems as if even a taxi would have been faster. On the other hand, a comparably bulky and heavy Mercedes Benz 220 S (driven by Reiner Günzler and Helmut Retter) reached 17th overall - a sensational result.

I have seen this firm before but I’ve not heard the the commentary. It is delivered in first person. Do you know who it was? I thought it may have been written by John Wyer as it was not his voice.
@classiccarsinaction4 ай бұрын
This is from a Movie Collection called A Gentleman's Motor Racing Diary, it was shot in SILENT 16mm film by an Amateur Film Maker and Racing fan John Tate. John's Son remastered these films and added the Commentary and Sound, or we'd be watching a SILENT Movie about racing.

@@classiccarsinaction I agree with optyfen - for a start the 1962 French GP was run at Rouen - won by Dan Gurney in a Porsche - and secondly Von Trips died at Monza in September 1961 The footage is in fact the 1961 French GP at Reims.

Brilliant stuff. Thanks. I'm too young to remember or have experienced any of this, but Le mans and it's history are my number one interest. Of note is the 4'03" lap of Sir Stirling as one of the top cars. Which is around what the fastest GT cars were doing recently. Maybe not that accurate, but not far off. Modern Corvettes for instance. Of course the track has changed a lot in distance and layout, but yet another fascinating comparison.

I watched Jim drive in the 1967 Canadian GP at Mosport, raining on and off all day the mist coming off the tires was unbelievable anyone behind the first row became invisible once they got on the power how any of those guys could see was beyond human water pouring off their faces only eye goggles for protection. I was watching on a corner that went downhill to a 90 degree turn of course filled with the water running downhill and here comes Jim his front wheels bouncing off the water with 5-6 inches of air under them as he used the throttle to turn the back as push the front wheels back down, no other car did this, they either slowed right down or drove off unable to control the hydroplaning I had never seen anyone before or after pull this stunt off, it was then I realized this chap was not of this world, lap after lap front tires bouncing up and down steering wheel straight and the sound of him stabbing the throttle to make the rear tires and engine torque kick the backend out to negotiate the turn never missing once lap after lap he made something no one else dared to try and driving like it was dry out while both front tires had bounced 6 inches off the turn and about the same 5-6 bounces for that corner, his car making the corner while others were all over the place. They just don't make men like those old boys who with very little could do so very much, modern men would come up with excuses and reasons why this and that is not possible and very unsafe when these guys only used a lap belt if they chose to a set of goggles without tear offs, their faces totally black by the end of a race this is how much confidence they had in their abilities.. Where have these kinds of spirited souls gone, the world could certainly use their vision, commitment, dedication, and courage to do something because it's the right thing to do..
