My cousin has gone to every single Long Beach GP since 1975 except for 84 (because he and his dad were mad that F1 left). But he told me this is the best sounding engine he's ever heard.
very gifted driver Jaques Laffite, sometimes sadly overshadowed by lesser driver's. he could make the matra talk to you. Incredible driver, Incredible car,
On-board cameras: Like some have noted, this has been done for many decades. In the 1960s, it was not all that unusual as some racing coverage used it and even oil company commercials and on TV series. I was always riveted when the road racing prepped Camaro would go under the GULF bridge at 145 on one TV ad. Also, the TV series, Mannix, in September1968 had an episode which opened at a race course. There's much good footage of the open-wheel formula car he's driving with some in-car.
You can see as he comes to the first chicane, off to the right you can see the "old" track lifting up as it would enter the first banked corner (the have grand stands on top of it in this vid)
Cameras on F1 'Grand Prix' 1966. Monza here was the same track as the movie, with over and underpasses. It was overly dangerous and massively cut down after Peterson's crash. Lafitte was certainly not in the top drawer of drivers, and the clip was in practice. Crashes at Monza tended to be fatal, and the one with Von Trips in 1961 took out about 20 spectators also.
@nolanbowling Im more of a NASCAR enthusiast (though this bird hums a sweet tune), and I feel as if its the same thing. Given what they were, there was something novice about hearing those beastly groans hum around the track, but then knowing that if you could get into a muscle car and turn a wrench or two, you could get that sound for yourself. These cars are just raw powerful sonic beauty. The race cars of today seem more akin to jet fighters than actual "cars".
I get this comment all the time, and IMO, it's because of two things. The equipment sucked compared to today's standards, thus the cars are much harder to drive on the limit. This also contributes to the 2nd fact, that the cars were less safe. I personally think that racing today is more entertaining, because drivers are more aggressive and can work the cars better. It more so than anything depends on the form of racing we're talking about, but these here are hard to beat.
I have seen some rather nice V12s and by far the best was the extremely rare Maserati Tipo 64 RearEngine Birdcage V12 at Riverside in 1962. Like a Ferrari on steroids, it was still grasping for traction down the straight at 150+. I don't think it started, and like all birdcage Maseratis it was physically impossible to assemble the chassis with all welds intact. It represented the final, psychotic break of spaceframes finally rendered obsolete with the Lotus 25 of 1962. See also 'Jim Clark.'
to RoLLWithTOasis1 - V12 Matra 3000cc , roughly rated over 500 bhp at 12500 rpm. Awesome sound but actually neither a relyable nor an extr.powerful engine though ,compared to v12 Ferrari and V8 Ford Cosworth.About driving aids in 1978 the wing cars age got started....till being banned in 1982 if I correctly recall. Possibly the first major aerod.aid which allowed terrific cornering speeds if just the drivers were daring enough to keep full throttle open in spite of pure skill.
There will be only ONE turbo in V6 1.6 in 2014. And there will be engines' limit. The 2014 won't repeat the 1984 with its twinturbo monsters of 1000 hp.
Not that I imagine it's easy to drive a modern F1 car , but the older generation of cars with no traction control etc looked impossible. Just look at how much correction is going on at the wheel!
This reminds me of how much I hate modern curbs in F1. See these curbs? They were CURBS! You had to actually drive on the $#@%ing TRACK. Now the drivers just crash over the curbs as if they weren't there , and complain if they can't.

That car can't make much more than a nice sound. Beautiful cars. The golden age.
Oh my god, that's amazing, I've never seen before a camera car of a race in the 70s!!
Thanks for the upload!!
Amazing sound.
I still have the DVD that this was on, been looking for this one scene for a bit on TH-cam.
Thanks for uploading. : )
holy hell, the speed of that thing...and to think those cars crumpled like tin cans. 70's & 80's drivers were utter legends. with massive balls

I did see these F1 cars through the 50's, until modern day, racing up to 20 years ago was very exciting.
wow, you can really see how much they changed the track and cars over the years.
Thus why I and many other racing enthusiast like the sound, feel, and danger from the 60's, 70's, and 80's better than any other time period in F1.

Incredible driver, Incredible car,
nothing beats that sound!! NOTHING!!!!
Love that sound!! Great footage! 5 stars!
woow
thanks for the video guy
its very nice
that was ``REAL`` racing!!!
I have this DVD. Pretty awesome. I love the onboard footage of Hakkinen at Spa. This one totally rocks as well. Animalistic engine is right.

Ah the days of proper gearboxes with a good ol' stick and clutch
thanks!

Yeah i can dig that. Wish i could have seen these race.
Amazing machine.
AWESOME...
yeah, amazing I noticed the trees also
woooooow, at 1:43 are trees next to the inside curps. CRAZY
Thanks, that's fantastic. And thanks not ruining it with some stupid song like so many does
balls of steel!
Back in those days the drivers were shifting gears manually, real racing drivers!!
Super!
The DVD I have is titled '50 Years Of Formula 1 Onboard.'
I love the v12 sounds.the golden age of f1 belong to 80s
the old Monza was heaps better then now, & Love the old Stadium at parabolica 2, at 1:22 . they sure know how to kill a good race tracks.
amazing how much earlier they brake than today's F1 "cars"

i assume that was one of first on board camera in F1.
Love the old Stadium at parabolica 2, . My bad Lesmo 2 at 1:22
This guy knows how to drive.

it sounds like an electric guitar!
Peeps had some guts that time
OMG!
Fabulous. And he has to shift manually and drive with one hands... Brass attachments, is all I can say!
lol, the trees on the Ascari chicane.
and the lesmo curves??? (the second_) incredible
wow..

I will say that this car is one of a kind sound. but modern day f1 sound like space ships from another planet.

ah, the golden years, when steering wheels used to look like steering wheels.
wish it was hd sound :)
Matra 12 cyl.- the most exciting sound ever =
(not equalled by performance...!)
It's a Matra, french, engine. They were the best sounding.
I wonder how the drivers can see under the trees after the 2nd Lesmo. I can't see a thing!
1.) Just HOW MANY TREES ARE THERE??
2.) Just HOW WIDE IS THE MAIN STRAIGHT??
3.) WHY ARE THERE NO RUN-OFF AREAS???
Not that I imagine it's easy to drive a modern F1 car , but the older generation of cars with no traction control etc looked impossible. Just look at how much correction is going on at the wheel!
Come on ;) Let's home something good for the 2014, the V6 Turbo are coming back!
the Matra made the Ferrari flat 12 sound like ducks farting
Tree's inside the Ascari??? Safety last, balls of diamond. :-)
Wouldn't we love to see him at race pace...
since 1:50 this is Mario Kart, the man on right find a mushroom and VROOOOOOOOOOOM lol
By the way, good vid ^^
Like say Damon Hill : " Pilot a F1 its the same that bating in a bathtub, full of gasoline and smoking a cigar."
yeah those trees are shocking at Ascari alright
Matra-V12
This is not playback.
Could zees car not do one sousand miles per hour weeth a sound like zat? Formidable!
Check out the pit lane! Room to move? Dont think so :P
*hope
This reminds me of how much I hate modern curbs in F1. See these curbs? They were CURBS! You had to actually drive on the $#@%ing TRACK. Now the drivers just crash over the curbs as if they weren't there , and complain if they can't.
CARBURATED ENGINES RULESSSSS
don't think so: Brabham= N/A flat 12
Somebody died on this race weekend right?
+Boro Jen xX Ronnie Peterson did, yes.
manual racing looks far better, more driver error = more overtaking.
1)Por que no te callas?
xDDDDDDDDD
