    When technology and skill were complementary. The absolute proof that if it looks fast it is fast. Drivers, cars, scenery, fans standing on the road verge, hay bales....
    All that made racing beautiful and almost all gone.

    The speaker is Nino Vaccarella himself. He is called "preside volante" (flying principal) beacuse he has a private school in Palermo.

    magnificent days .
    it was a time of positivity and 'anything goes' . See all those people standing on the edge of the road, experiencing the excitement up close. I could not imagine this happening today , the fun police would be wringing their hands in fear. Peopel choosing what to do with their lives. They wouldn't allow it these days far too dangerous,
    Its our loss, all we have is old footage of our for fathers, brave people that wanted to live and experience life

      Even if you had a master plan to pull this off safely (which, to be fair, might not be impossible, given the WRC still exists), it'd be a hard sell in today's safety-obsessed world. Even the TT only really survives due to its relative obscurity amongst the general public.

      It's not a wall, it's a balcony from one of the houses closer to the camera. It's just a matter of perspective. Rewatch that part at reduced speed and pause/play until at 2:09 (when the overlay clock with what I guess is the race time is at *00∶21∶44∶23* ). Or use your '.' and ',' keys when paused to advance and rewind frame by frame.

      9 people including spectators were killed over the history of the Targa Florio. Two deaths in 1973, one a Lancia driver who hit a truck and the other was a spectator. I'm pretty sure there were some in 1976 or 77 that was why the event was stopped. It had a much better safety record than the Mille Miglia and Panamericana though.
