They were essentially using film cameras with onboard footage being limited to clips from practice sessions. Normal onboard cameras that could be used during the race didn’t come about until the early to mid-80’s.
@@thethirdman225 Yes the Matra was a fantastic engine but it never won a F1 title. The Cosworth was lighter and more fuel-efficient. But from the sound alone like the BRM it should have won!🏁 Cheers🍻
I suppose you have to remember that run off that ends suddenly with a row of trees was considered an improvement over no runoff whatsoever, which was presumably what was there before.
For many years the trees were considered "protected" (Monza is located in a Royal park)... F1 has been chipping away at that for years and, as you can see by a comparison to the wide open run off areas today, many many trees have been removed.
That reminds me back to a time when it was exactly so, like you can see it in this video. We went out and check the strip a bit, first after some laps we press the pedal fully through for a couple of laps. Outside was the team with a hand stopwatch, so we know approximately our speed. First in the official qualifying we know, how fast we really are. But mostly we were right before... hahahaha. I started my racing career in 1979 as junior vice champion in Go Kart and Vice world-champion 1980. Later I changed to Superbike racing until 1994. The 70ties until 2000 was a real pure good racing time, much more "real", honest and authentic as in present. I was spending all my time on racing strips since I am 9, this was 1971. I have meet all the F1 stars at this time personally, people like: Ronnie Peterson, Clay Regazzoni, James Hunt, Jacky Stewart, Denis Hulme, Emerson Fittipaldi, Jean-Pierre Beltoise, François Cevert, Jacques Lafitte, George Follmer, Peter Revson, Chris Amon, Niki Lauda, Carlos Reutemann, Jacky Ickx, Gijs van Lennep, Carlos Pace, Howden Ganley, Jochen Mass, Jan-Pierre Jarier, John Eatson and a lot more. At this time it was still posible to go in to the pit lane, to see them directly in front of your self. I remember me back to a very good time in my youth. At that time there was also the opportunity to switch the gears wrong. The cars had a similarly sequential circuit as the motorcycles, so it happened that when you switch off to quickly, you were too deep or too high. It it was too deep, you get in troubles, because it could mean that if you couldn't correct it not quickly enough, you destroy something. if it was to high, It wasn't too bad, because you just got out of the curve too slowly. Hahaha
Congratulations for your magnificent results!!! ❤❤❤👍👍👍 My father visited the 1970 German Grand Prix at the Hockenheim Ring and experienced what you say - fans going into the pits with no problem etc. A WONDERFUL era!!! He actually rode as a passenger in a modified car (I think it was an American car) of Jacky Ickx's chief mechanic on the Autobahn near Frankfurt at ~300 km/h, which was an unbelievable speed in 1970.
That’s a great story sir. I’m a youngster and i admire previous eras of motorsport. Present times are packed with extra safety and regulations, which is a sane decision, but on the other hand i feel like the old days were more authentic and exciting. I’m in love with motorcycles and i finally saved up enough money to buy myself one, nearly one year after i was barely old enough to get my licences haha Great thing is that the number of motorsport enthusiasts is growing and theres a lot of people to share great time with, we all have respect for the experienced guys just like you 💪
It is always the same, when I see videos from this time it gives me just goose pumps all over. The cars slower, but the race spirit is much greater than nowadays. Pure motor sports and no High-Tech Olympiad like nowadays.
Over 2000 gear changes at Monaco back then, and left blisters on the drivers right hand. i know this is Monza but was giving an example of how brutal it could be for drivers back in the day.
I don’t know why this appeared but I’m glad it did. The four vintage GP vids you have are wonderful. I especially enjoyed Jackie Stewart talking his way around Brands Hatch.
@@CAF749 nah, the racing has been bad almost every season in the history of F1, it's just that it used to be a much greater spectacle of looks and sound and broadcast
This is some of the first in car footage during a race weekend. I think the first was at the British GP when Jackie Stewart took out an Elf Tyrell in 1st Practise covered in cameras. Everyone was looking for the best place to locate the cameras, looks like Liger got it right.
@@terrystevens5261 Unreliable Alfa engine unfortunately.. but did manage a handful of podiums and also several top 6 results. Possibly because of good drivers
Amazing when one thinks about how far aero and brakes have come, of course power also but just note the brake distances and corner speed differences. But damn where racers back then brave, those cars back with their very limited safety consideration!
Power, not so much. Remember, the Grand Prix cars were already over 1,000 + h.p. in the early eighties, and they dialed them back a little after the ground effects era cars, due to cars just going airborne off of the track surface.
@@Baguenaudeur Not pushing in what was essentially a Coke can with wheels, only somewhat grippy tires and limited safety features wasn't exactly safe. Besides I was making a general observation on the tech, not just on this video.
That is insane. Drivers nowadays could not handle the coffin on wheels. No traction control and 1500 horsepower with no safety equipment whatsoever. These guys where brave and great back then! I remember first getting into f1 and seeing these old track layouts. Wow how far we have come.
One of the most exciting F1 sounds in competition motoring for sure.Alas in its F1 configuration it was a heavy and thirsty engine and not as reliable as a Ford Cosworth yet being its power output just a bit higher.Instead it was a winner in the long term sport prototypes races though.
We need to go back to the high curbs to keep the cars on the track. Not like the rumble strips of today that just encourage the drivers to cut corners and go beyond track limits
Is this the Sunday warm up before the race then because even I can drive like that. You have to hand it to the F1 drivers of the 21st century 2005 onwards for driving the machines they did and the ones they drive currently. Far far more difficult and precise.
This pictures where propably taken during sunday morning warm up. Some hours later Ronnie Peterson gets involved to a horrible accident. What a tragic day - and Ronnie died within a few days.
No HANDs device, no safer barriers, no telemetry, no LED rear lights, manual shifting, no halo above cockpit, and much closer to death than present race drivers.

La vecchia doppia prima variante, la tribuna a Lesmo, le piante in piena variante Ascari...un'altra epoca
The Matra 12 was the most amazing sound I've ever heard. We were camping out at the Glen and I was awakened by the Matra , never forget it
RIP Ronnie Peterson
yep - he was killed in the first (abandoned) race start - this looks like practice
Every Formula 1 fan should see this!!
Those cars sound beautiful
best oldschool F1 Camera => so vivid and emersive, I really feel like I drive that car!!!! Amazing! Thanks for this gem!!!
No need for track limits warnings - you hit those kerbs you'd be in Italian airspace.
... that´s what I thought, the kerbs look dammed high from the onboard cam.
Wow onboard footage from 70s nice 👍
Ronnie Peterson only had a few hours left in life. R.I.P ⚘️❤
This is still very sad. I was a boy when he crashed. Hope he is together with Niki and the others now! R.I.P. my heroes!
I'm surprised at the clarity of the mounted camera for the seventies

Lol it's a video game dude.
@@hefellump1no it's not? What makes you think this?
Cause they were huge ass full sized cameras. Google how they ridiculously looked on the cars
@@TheMrDemonized no I'm saying it's not a video game. I can tell the difference I'm not completely brain dead. At least I think I'm not
Love this Matra V12 sound!! Those up-changes, beautiful!! 😍😍😍
He actually won some races the next year with a Cosworth and ground effects! But the Matra was a wonderful sound! 🏁
He was a World Championship contender in 1981, using ground effects _and_ the Matra engine.
@@thethirdman225 Yes the Matra was a fantastic engine but it never won a F1 title. The Cosworth was lighter and more fuel-efficient. But from the sound alone like the BRM it should have won!🏁 Cheers🍻
Trees on the right-hand side of Ascari? I shiver just thinking about it. What a beautiful venue, but how dangerous...

grazie, ignacio, cheers from torino,,
listening to the engine roaring... simply beautiful
50 years of F1, if you can please buy the disc, its fantastic. This footage is from it and gives me goosebumps every time.

What's your name ? Because the world vice champion of karting in 1980 is... Ayrton Senna.
i think he means runner up (vice) @@gaelpayssan
I also talked about vice champion and not champion. Senna was the world VICE champion in 1980@@FurnishedIgloo

These were cars. Sounding like power.
Fantastic onboard - great to see the track in this era!
SENSATIONAL, the musical tones of the engine is GLORIOUS ❤
His chest was 30% hairier when he got out of the car💪😂
I love the one handed steering while shifting.
You had to then !
Over 2000 gear changes at Monaco back then, and left blisters on the drivers right hand. i know this is Monza but was giving an example of how brutal it could be for drivers back in the day.
Better cars better drivers better sound better engineering better racing better sport. Now it’s “a show”
I saw many of these drivers in person at Watkins Glen race track in the late 70s early 80s
No runoff outside curva Grande. Trees in the middle of Ascari. Safety was at its infancy then.
I don’t know why this appeared but I’m glad it did. The four vintage GP vids you have are wonderful. I especially enjoyed Jackie Stewart talking his way around Brands Hatch.
Fantastic racetrack. Some of the greatest footage ever.
The world in 2023: You'r crazy when you ride a bike without a helmet. Everybody in 1978: 0:02
So great to see Monza as it used to be... brings back memories.
Remember that before that there were banked corners. You must watch the movie "Grand Prix" if you have not.
Looks very gentle.
wow that sound..pure beauty
Im 53 Years old ...
Thats 😢😢
Soooo nice . But
So much People die
So much Driver wounded....
Thats the Story about this Time.
These kinds of kerbs might be the solution of the current tracklimit issues
The cars were not faster, but they sounded way better!
And they looked faster
The racing was definitely better. Now, we have to have artificial almost automatic overtaking DRS.
@@CAF749 nah, the racing has been bad almost every season in the history of F1, it's just that it used to be a much greater spectacle of looks and sound and broadcast
Poetry of motorsport❤❤❤
Those curbs look perfect for a nice jump into the spectators. Must have been a design genius at work! Great footage btw :D
Isso sim que é som de motor 😊bons tempos
Время, когда была трава зеленее, воздух чище, солнце светило теплее и небо было голубее.
This footage is incredible. Wonder how many laps theyd get out of a roll of film?
It usually lasted between 2 and 3 laps depending on the circuit length and if the driver was going for it. Most weren't.
100 ft of 16mm that fits in a standard magazine will shoot about 1o minutes worth of footage.
Quite impressive for 1978!
Gotta love the trees in the chicane
six hours later, Ronnie Peterson had his fatal accident.
Very sad indeed RIP Ronnie🇸🇪
MATRA V12 Sound is beautiful🤣
First F1 car i ever heard was the MS120 at Silverstone in 1971, Chris Amon. fabulous sound.
Those kerbs in the chicanes look absolutely brutal
we still have those in Nordshleife lol
I got my Scalextric set in 1978.
Me 2
I was all AFX with Jackie Stewart box art. However now I enjoy Scalextric.
Was there that day. So sad about the Ronnie Peterson accident and the long delay
Nothing beats the sound of a V12
They said the same about "8 minute abs".
Muito bom vídeo obrigado.
ascari with trees directly next to the track.
unbelievable in todays safety standards.
This is some of the first in car footage during a race weekend. I think the first was at the British GP when Jackie Stewart took out an Elf Tyrell in 1st Practise covered in cameras. Everyone was looking for the best place to locate the cameras, looks like Liger got it right.
Amazing footage - Thx 😊
That Brabham was spectacular looking and performing
I don't recall it winning a GP apart from when it had the Fan fitted for Sweden. looked and sounded great though.
@@terrystevens5261
Unreliable Alfa engine unfortunately.. but did manage a handful of podiums and also several top 6 results. Possibly because of good drivers
It’s crazy to think how slow those cars were and people of that time would still get flabbergasted by it
Speed is relative. And a lot more people died back then.
With those kerbs, NO need for a monitoring/penalty system for exceeding track limits.
So there was a time when they actually mastered the black magic of camera cars. Fascinating.
Amazing when one thinks about how far aero and brakes have come, of course power also but just note the brake distances and corner speed differences.

I think the carbon fiber brakes have made a big difference.
What a weird comparison to make when it's just warm up and they are just strolling about, not pushing at all
@@Baguenaudeur Not pushing in what was essentially a Coke can with wheels, only somewhat grippy tires and limited safety features wasn't exactly safe. Besides I was making a general observation on the tech, not just on this video.

Ahhh, the golden age of F-1.
I love that the kerbs are proper kerbs 😀

Huh, they had grandstands in the run off area of the 2nd lezmo.
until 1994.
Is that Mario Andretti narrating? What is this from?
2:47 Brabham got a speed boost??
Un mondoi romantico che non c'è più. Dove la dfferenza poteva farla solo il pilota. Oggi è tutta un'altra storia....che ahimè non seguo più
THE REAL F1
Spettacolare! No electronics gadgets only men with balls
Bring back double chicanes! Where have they all gone?
I can't believe that there were trees in the Ascari chicane.
There were trees on Ascari!!! 😱🫣
Vous avez l'autorisation pour mettre cette vidéo sur TH-cam ??????
Very brave cameramen in those days.
They still did the gearshift by the stick, meanwhile steering with just one hand.
The V12 Matra engine lacked power compared to a DFV, but sounded fantastic.

I 'm amazed this Matra engine had such a silk smooth character for a racing engine
Easily earns seamless accelaration from bottom to top end

This is like warm-up, right?
They'd stopped using the parabolica curve by then. Shame - it was an exciting part of the circuit.
