Ciao Niki eri unico, coraggioso.. we miss you Niki💖

✌️🤠💥🌟🌀👍

hoax, any verstappen fan knows its ridiculous to credit the car, its never the car, its always the driver 😉

James Hunt was a movie star, Niki Lauda was the most skilled, courageous, intelligent and taking no crap from anyone - race driver. His way of pinpointing the truth with laser precision in tv commentaries is legendary. Niki is my hero.

I wish I was alive to see F1 in this era. It's way to much money, rules, stewards, and Max Verstappen these days.

Wow great to watch this, the le mans cars flying around Daytona! Also targa florio - 44 miles every lap, how did they do it? Amazing.

This was Awesome . Thanks for sharing this... Cheers from Southern California 🇺🇸

Absolutely Phenomenal!!.. Cheers from Southern California 🇺🇸

Is this sport or supersport? Also, was it decatted or sports cats?

Does someone know the song at 00:45 ?

Salute, Niki!

That's where clarkson got the idea from.

Niki was a total talent. Driving and setting up cars. He also helped implement many safety features for other drivers. One of F1s greatest drivers of all time.

twin tower intro hits hard

Awesome video!! Thanks for sharing!

Propper drivers and propper cars! I have no interest in f1 now.

Love every minute

Yeah but Niki… how many girls can you fit in that car?

That's definitely going to help me set up my gran turismo cars. Especially with braking setup which was a great tip👏👏👏 😂😂😂 it's funny but I'm being serious 😂✌👍

This was great 😀

In a time, where you didn't need a 20 minute computer program to run, before starting the engine and going. Simple, light and fast

V6 ?

Saw it live, June 24, 1984 Detroit Grand Prix, the day I got hooked on Formula 1.

I was a senior in high school that year and a Ford GT40 fanatic from its initial appearance at Le Mans to its penultimate race. It was a beautiful car then and it remains so now. It is the icon of all racing sports car icons. I suppose only the 917 can really rival the Ford's fame and achievements. Just a remarkable heritage.

He’s so fine

Great video. Thank you. 👍

O melhor piloto de fórmula 1 do mundo. Tri campeão

This is a preview off jeremy clarkson 1999 head to head video race they did.

Is like watch a race of F1 in 2024,

I loved these types of information programmes in the 80s - they had a certain style that informs, without being distracting and annoying.

RIP Niki & James

In all fairness, the Sierra 1600 was a handful on a greasy roundabout …😂

Ken Miles 💪💪

I have an old VHS tape with the beginning lap by Sterling Moss in one of the JW Automotive Ford GT40s. Now I know what it was from! Used to have an old Ford Escort that Ferodo made a set of pads for. Great brake pads.

Ya the year before was the year to remember. Ford stopped Porsche from realizing their Lemans dream for over a decade (and people knock Ford for taking three years and spending all that money😂). Porsche took 11 years and spent over twice what Ford did to finally win. Only they had to wait till the 1970s to do it. 1968 and 1969 were JW Automotive's greatest wins.

I would much rather watch these races because they're real races of the past and they have that nostalgic quality. I haven't see the movie Ford vs Ferrari and I won't watch it either because it wouldn't hit me nearly the same way as the real thing. Hollywood ran out of ideas a long time ago!

Skirts have a big effect on me, I race much harder.

The F1 car even back then was doing like 120mph through corners , amazing the speed difference even back then to road cars

-Niki Lauda Explains Formula One-Video has less than 5 min of Lauda😂

No lights in the pits?!?! It's like they wanted shit to happen 🤔

love how the latest Roll's Royce is the benchmark for good downforce

Nice video! Thanks . You may be interested in S M Zeus!

Reminds me of the stuff you would see on the Open University on BBC2 after midnight, much of it fascinating! Next up: How to survive a Nuclear Blast.

This is by far the best explanation I've seen for why ground effect skirts were banned.

This style of documentary is really enjoyable. It's not just about showing flashy images of "cool" racecars, but rather a factual representation of the basic principles involved in high performance / race driving. Much like a training film really. And everything wonderfully narrated by the man himself, Niki Lauda.

Not entirely sure about this one, but Lauda talks about 'next year, then I have more experience with the task'. Was this filmed in 85 really? It somehow feels like older quotes. Were there talks where he would be on the grid in 86?

👏👏🙌🙌👍👍 thank you for the upload

Fantastic documentary!

James Hunt has a black helmet . And is driving the Sierra. Why are there shots of the Sierra with a while helmeted driver ?

Too bad they didn't have Rain X back then
