Nowadays we call it PTSD. The announcer in the clip mentions Jochen Rindt. In 1970, while driving for Lotus, he won five of the first nine races of the season. Tragically, he was killed at Monza during practice for the next race. He still won the championship posthumously over Jacky Ickx.
stewart said a few times if you want to win the world championship, drive for lotus. if you want to win the world championship and be alive to enjoy it - go with tyrell.
@@mrrolandlawrence Bernie Ecclestone (manager Jochen Rindt) said this to Rindt. "If you want to win the championship, you got more chance with Lotus than with Brabham. If you want to stay alive you got more chance with Brabham than with Lotus. It was not a bad thing to say, it was a matter of fact. The pattern was that for whatever the reason, drivers got killed in a Lotus."

Camera quality was actually very good back in the day, then they switched recording/playback methods which allowed for much better quality today, but back then it was more of a downgrade in quality
To be fair John Frankenheimer could go and shoot a grand prix and then rework the script to fit what happened in the race. Ron Howard had to recreate all the tracks from the 70's from scratch apart from Brands Hatch and the Nurburgring, not to mention the cars. I never thought Rush was overhyped; infact in the US I felt it was severely under-hyped, although it did a lot better in the UK. For me the best racing scenes on film are to be found in Steve McQueen's Le Mans... The engine sound in that film is incredible, and the racing is ALL real. Not even Grand Prix can say that.
And no dang computer controls, no pitch & yaw control...And no PlayStation controller for a steering wheel! Skinny tired lil beasts you drove with nothing but skill!
I don't get why people here seem to always shit on modern motorsport and have this vision of constant nostalgia. There's this thing called "liking both"?
Something football players and others with battered bodies have to do and that's taking pain killers unless they chose to endure it. His was so bad here he had to quit the race. Like the other races in the film this was pure thrills on the track with excellent footage. Brief cameo of Jimmy Clark who went to the US the year before and won the Indianapolis 500.
I saw in a interview Frakenheimer said he had over a million feet of to edit when he got done filming Grand Prix. Cant imagine what racing footage was cut.
That's power-sliding, not drifting. Drift needs to be indicated at the entrance of the corner, for example: by scandinavian flick, not at the exit. Sudden loss of grip in a controlled manner is called power-sliding.
@@QurttoRco though the most modern F1 driver to really drift his car around almost every corner was Ronnie Peterson. Andretti never drove his Lotus like that, but Ronnie did.
Great movie! I subscribed your interesting channel This is my memory about this history:During the time that the crew was in Monza for the shooting I won a race and at the award ceremony Francoise Hardy gave me a kiss for the victory. After this victory, the director made me do the stunt driver for the actors. There was a beautiful girl who is still my wife and sometimes she reminds me of this episode. Memories now too distant in time! Durante il periodo in cui la troupe era a Monza per le riprese ho vinto una gara e alla premiazione Francoise Hardy mi ha dato un bacio per la vittoria. Dopo questa vittoria, il regista mi ha fatto fare lo stuntman per sostituire gli attori nei passaggi in pista ad alta velocità. C'era lì una bella ragazza che è ancora oggi mia moglie ed a volte mi ricorda questo episodio. Ricordi ormai troppo lontani nel tempo! Cheers Fabrizio
In 1966, pole qualifying speeds at a few tracks were: Monza - 226.73 kph (140.88 mph) Spa Francorchamps - 232.82 kph (144.67 mph) Nurburgring - 165.31 kph (102.72 mph) Monaco - 125.91 kph (78.24 mph) Besides the track configurations (Spa was the fastest), obviously gearing and weather also were factors. All things considered, the fastest cars usually topped out somewhere between 305-325 kph (190-200+ mph).
@@PashaSemf No worries. Also, they didn't come in to pit unless there was a problem. Start with four hard tires and a raceful of fuel onboard. Manage it all the best you can.
Give me the good old days of racing, when you put a guy in a car and just let him drive. When a steering wheel was just a steering wheel. When gears were changed with a clutch and shift lever and not a paddle on the steering wheel. When the nearest thing to a computer in the pits was a bank of stop watches, a clipboard, a pencil, and the IT guy was holding the stop watches. When the driver told you what was wrong with the car, not telemetry. When the only communication between driver and pit was a chalk board. When the thing holding the car to the road was the tires, not a wing.
There is no specific British Racing Green. Different teams used different shades. In fact, the green used often varied within teams. Most of this British GP footage did not appear in the final version of the film.
zelpofgamesNL actually the race footage is F-1. The movie used F-2 cars cause this was supposedly taking place in the old 1.5L F-1 rules of the early sixties. 1965 to be exact while the race footage is 1966 which is the first year of the change to 3.0L engines.
Funny thing though back in 1966 these cars didn't move at the speeds cars of today do. But they were small and low to the ground which like a go cart would give you the feeling of flying much faster than you are.
Well ya like racing movies ??? Take a ride watching Grand Prix....It is a gas from start to finish !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
0:26 that is just pure epic racing
Frankenheimer knew how to direct a movie. What great camera work.
paul summers And EDITING! Try comparing this with another recent film: Ford v Ferrari.
He loved racing. He had three races in his movie Ronin with DeNiro and John Reno.
Ah, back when Kimi Raikkonen was a rookie
Stunningly innovative sound design and camera work!
Le Mans - 1971 is just as intense!

You cant call it nostalgic unless you were alive back then, which I'm guessing you weren't
This Film is from 1966???? What a quality...
ALFI I don't think so

Grand Prix is for racing movies as 2001 Space Odyssey was for sci-fi movies...And racing scenes are still best, even compared to over hyped Rush

@N V M E R I V S true, but that doesn't mean everyone has to default to only liking one or the other.
Exactly. I love me some classic racing, but I also love me some modern f1 or endurance too.
Can you imagine taking a bug to the nose at 120 mph?
Or a bird in the face (Alan Stacy/1960 Belgian GP; Jim Clark practice at 1966 Reims) to knock you out....

+Dimas Ikhsandio (JustDimas) thank you
fauzan muhammad I don't know if any of the British Grand Prix in Grand Prix was filmed at Brands Hatch, but it did take place there in the movie.
GOFLuvr yes it was filmed there. The week of the 1966 British GP.
I'd love to see everything that was left on the cutting room floor.
Athhar3 Same. Especially if that includes footage from the other races not shown (Nurburgring, Watkins Glen and Magdalena Mixhuca).

Drifters were pre this era, Fangio was 4wheel drift daddy

That's not drifting though.
No seatbelts, No pitlane communication, No Aerokit, Skinny Tires, and some big balls. True that sex was much safer than racing back then.

Sick era of F1, safety what is that? Aerodynamic what is that?
And these cars wasn't slow, they was freaking fast.
Lol THAT GREAT SOUND
Is that Brands Hatch?
Joseph Halliday yes
The type of F1 i'd watch
Proper f1 cars
Those were real racing machines that needed a real racing driver, no electronic crap to make it easier!
This is the way race must be. Now the F1 looks like a video game.
Or a funeral processing.
This is Brands Hatch
Hey Warner Archive why are the old sponsors are there? Before they. Make a video there is a permission about the old brand?
Can anyone tell me how fast they went on average and max?

Problem with that is safety, it would be fun to race like that, but I like to keep my soul in my body.

"British Racing Green" - the only shade of green that looks good on a motor vehicle.
Ford Focus RS green is pretty nice too
There is no specific British Racing Green. Different teams used different shades.
In fact, the green used often varied within teams.
Most of this British GP footage did not appear in the final version of the film.
But you got to admit the Marlboro and Rothmans liveries do go hard ;)
