Classic F1 battle! McLaren M26 hunts Lotus 77 around the streets of Monaco

The Monaco Historic was special this year. We saw some incredible racing around the famous streets of Monte-Carlo. One of the best battles that rattled on virtually all race was between Nick Padmore in the Lotus 77 and Michael Lyons in James Hunt's McLaren M26.
Stuart Hall was building a sizable gap to Padmore as he pushed hard in the Yardley McLaren M23. This back-and-forth battle certainly helped him out.
This clip had us dreaming of the '70s again and that Ford-Cosworth DFV engine. Magical stuff.

These cars are better suited for Monaco compared to the current ones.

[@SavyBajaBuster]

Today's cars are just too big, they're like tanks compared to these proper racing cars...

[@AndreiTupolev]

Nice to see the Marlboro and JPS branding properly in place

[@user-dh6bj2me5p]

Yup.

[@terryjacob8169]

Brilliant racing.

[@dmg8530]

A more accurate title would be "Lotus pulls away from McLaren at historic Monaco"!!

[@bear1245]

It’s got James hunt in there so it’s fine 😂

[@JacKnife3705]

the mclaren “hunts” the lotus, clever

[@TestarossaF110]

[@Lianpe98]

They do have a considerable amount of downforce.

[@aerrhh]

@@Lianpe98 it was an hyperbole dude!

[@eduardorogeliorodriguez7012]

Bellisimo

[@user-xd2rj1tx4y]

Al Unser junior

[@antoniogardelli7991]

C'è un anno di differenza tra le due monoposto la lotus del 76 e la Mclaren dell 77 in fatto di prestazioni la Mclaren dovrebbe essere superiore.

[@skyedog24]

But almost nobody in the stands probably because the prices to go to these things are so outrageous that normal people can no longer . That's why I want an electric car like gereta toontime

[@KitKitChanIsaac]

Electric cars are for weaklings.

[@xxxyyy-oz7xf]

Unfortunately, approved helmets ruin everything and make them look ridiculous...

[@AndreiTupolev]

Make them look ridiculous? Full face helmets were the norm when these cars were current

[@xxxyyy-oz7xf]

I was referring to the fact that they are twice as big as those of their time...@@AndreiTupolev

[@Lianpe98]

I don't even notice that

[@bear1245]

True.

[@KitKitChanIsaac]

Safety always comes first.
