Sono stato 3 giorni fa a Collesano sono andato a museo del Traga Florio una esperienza che non mi dimenticare mai! Peccato non avevo tempo per l'atra museo che c'era le Macchine che hanno corso sulla Traga Florio emozioni puro! 😍❤️
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.
Unforgetable drivers, cars, places like Targa Florio... I wonder if why today motor racing doesn´t seems to me better that one that this video shows (well, i know the answer, but i prefer to keep it for me...). My sincere congratulations for this video!!
What a nice line up of cars, they still have the Speedy the love Bug tight chassis and Hot Wheels wheels. That is like every Famous Model Car of the 80's, I built planes but you looked at them all, and these are the car Kits that were always in stock.
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
Those were the good old days. Everything was pure back then. People were genuine and sincere too. They were the kind of people you want to drink espresso with. The only problem is I was only two years old in 1971. Lol. They should reinstate Targa Florio. It's the ultimate proving ground for courage, bravery, and honor. Thank you for this video. God Bless you.
Sensational footage thank you, the upscaling is incredible! Would love to see more onboards from the Targa Florio, is there any race footage available?
So we can still have the Isle of Man TT where somebody dies every other race but we can't have the Targa Florio? with GT3 or GT4 regulations this event would be completely safe
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.
No, if you want to do that, the track needs major reparation in some places. From what I know it's not raceable under any circumstances in the conditions some parts and corners are currently in.
@@964cuploveThe 908/3's had a really poor year in 1971, neither of the JW cars finished the first lap and although Quick Vic had tte fastest lap by 30 or so seconds he and Larrousse only completed 7 laps too.
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. 🏎💨💨💨
2:19 ... the flying wireframe No.8 might be piloted by Gerard Larousse when a blue helmet shows up between the fences .. and to me even the Alfa 'arrabiata' looks a bit more conservative . than this uncompromised fueltank on wheels 😱
Man I wish GT7 had the entire 72km track and these cars in the game, that would be amazing!! Ok no one would want to race on a track that long in a videogame but it would be a neat track just to have to drive around on.
@@texleeger8973 the fatal accident that killed it was in 1977. CSI (as it was then called) had to increase safety demands that led to them to stop sanctioning it.
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.
The noise must've been deafening in those small streets... A real test of human in unison with the machine. Sadly nothing like it exists anymore... perhaps rallying comes closest
…no fugly fins, no traction control, no hybrids, no whining even because their tire blew out - TBH, I stopped watching modern motorsport because those modern cars don’t speak for me anymore

The greatest and most beautiful sports car race ever. What a spectacle!
No! Group C and Group 7 beats them, but that doesn't say much if anything! These car were glorious!
Magnifique.
Beautiful cars racing through beautiful scenery. Real racing.
The speaker is Nino Vaccarella himself. He is called "preside volante" (flying principal) beacuse he has a private school in Palermo.
R.I.P :( Sept 2021, 88yrs

thanks for sharing this beautiful footage
Emozionante. Dovevo nascere 30 anni prima
You sir are doing the world a great service with this footage
What a treat to find this on TH-cam! The footage looks restored ..so clear... many thanks!
Unforgetable drivers, cars, places like Targa Florio... I wonder if why today motor racing doesn´t seems to me better that one that this video shows (well, i know the answer, but i prefer to keep it for me...). My sincere congratulations for this video!!
What a treasure this footage is!
Without usual music, only engines sound
Le Mans cars on a twisty public road, spectators on the sidewalks and in doorways... It sure was a different time
Very nice movie. The Alfa 33-3 and Carlo Chitti at their best! Many thanks.
Fantastic, what a great era this was!
Bellissima gara la targa florio, forse ai tempi la più bella,Grazie Nino Vaccarella ed Alfaromeo
Saluti dalla Germania
Grande Alfa Romeo 33

RIP Nino having just died a month ago September 23, 2021 in his beloved Palermo
Beautiful machines.. And the sound they make.. Legendary cars!🏆🙌
magnificent days .

Come off it. That was stupidly dangerous for the spectators. For the drivers, I agree it was their choice, and they were brave.
Subed, we are so lucky to have these car's and this track in simulators, it took year's to make and is amazing to drive around for hours
That chase between the Alfa Romeo T33/3 and the Porsche 908/03 was so cool
lolol the sleeping guy at 3:49 terrific
great video and good times
Amazing footage! My favourite era of cars….both racing cars and road cars. This footage makes me wish we could time travel back! 🙂
That kind of speed on period rubber makes me tighten up a little. 😂😳
I love seeing the spectators. I wonder if they ever imagined that 50 years from then we would be watching them from anywhere in the world. I love it.
fantastic footage, thank you so much
Stunning video , proper cars and drivers just got on and did it,
I wished I was there, what a great race
Fantastic. Imagine being able to get that close to these amazing race cars. Amazing. 😊🇬🇧👏
Che gare , che piloti , che circuiti , ! E che spettatori (sprovveduti ed incoscienti!)

No, it is the same today 😂
che suono meraviglioso
Just brilliant! Bring it back!
Indimenticabile! Avevo diciannove anni!
brilliant footage, nice job!
Fabulous stuff. Really enjoyed that.
😎LOVE THAT PURE SOUND
👍🏻 without the usual background music
Beautiful Palermo. Excellent footage
Wonderful. That looked so much better in the video than in the thumbnail
ok i changed the thumbnail...
@@formula60b56 Oh - what I meant was that the video was really well improved. No worries, thanks for making this available.
Sensational footage thank you, the upscaling is incredible! Would love to see more onboards from the Targa Florio, is there any race footage available?
Fantastico filmato, mi sono iscritto al canale, ciao Fabrizio - like 3700
So we can still have the Isle of Man TT where somebody dies every other race but we can't have the Targa Florio? with GT3 or GT4 regulations this event would be completely safe
You’re obviously using a different definition of “safe”.
Total bullsheit.
Isle of man is usually the participants who get killed not spectators
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.

When Alfa Romeo was better than Porsche...
Looks like the Porsche is catching the Alfa around 2:00 - no ?

Only in Europe would you have these amazing events. Also the Mille Miglia!
Cough targa tasmania cough
Carrera Panamericana: hold my tequila...
The way he skimmed the wall at 2:08 was incredible
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.

Спасибо! Отличное видео!
Great video
La sicurezza ci uccide tutti! Che tempi belli in cui si poteva toccare le macchine.
Awesome video! I was just wondering what it would look like outside of the simulators.
Simply amazing...
😍😍 Quanti ricordi di una Vera originaria #terra dei motori l'unica ad aver avuto la TARGA FLORIO + 2 GP di F1 !!!!! 🏆 🏅 🥇 🎖️ 🏁 🚥 🏎️ ☀ 🌊 🗻 🇮🇲
2:19 ... the flying wireframe No.8 might be piloted by Gerard Larousse when a blue helmet shows up between the fences .. and to me even the Alfa 'arrabiata' looks a bit more conservative . than this uncompromised fueltank on wheels 😱
Beautiful racing! ❤ Ps It's a shame Stommelen crashed the Alfa T33/3, as Kinnunen and him would have had a great result in the car for sure
L’ho vista a Imola la 33 bella, che nostalgia quando le Alfa Romeo vincevano le corse, e io con il cuore 💔 spezzato tra Alfa e Ferrari ❤️💔❤️
The Best!!
Proper Italian priorities: give the car some champagne before the driver!
I makes me imagine GT4 cars racing on a big road circuit.
Man I wish GT7 had the entire 72km track and these cars in the game, that would be amazing!! Ok no one would want to race on a track that long in a videogame but it would be a neat track just to have to drive around on.
Vere gare automobilistiche!!
Why those point to point races stopped to be done?
Driver deaths, spectator deaths, crashes galore. Last FIA sanctioned race in 1973.
@@texleeger8973 the fatal accident that killed it was in 1977. CSI (as it was then called) had to increase safety demands that led to them to stop sanctioning it.
Ah, the days when spectators actually watched things, rather than recorded them on their phones…
👏🏻
Qie belleza!
Wonderful.
1:22 this looks awesome!
Siamo tutti tifosi! ^_-
Bravo!!!!!!!!
Mustang owners take note - this is how you leave a Cars And Coffee!!!!!
haha
Back when the Isle of Mann wasn't the most ridiculous (in a good way) race on the planet.
meraviglioso
Now this is what you call motor racing.
Isto sim é conteúdo. Para bens
surprisingly tere was never a fatal accident in the targa!
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.
@@marks7197 There were dozens of fatalities that were covered up by the Mafia in Sicily.
@@AmericasChoice What drivers were they?
@@marks7197 Not the driver's, but the
Sicilian circuit-side fans.
@@AmericasChoice Why didn't they cover up the spectators mentioned previously?
Wish I was born earlier to see all these cars driving in anger.
Oh, for a time machine...
The noise must've been deafening in those small streets...
A real test of human in unison with the machine. Sadly nothing like it exists anymore... perhaps rallying comes closest
The town scenes were like a Western Movie set somehow. With the gunfighters trading their horses for these race cars.
Sarebbe da sogno se tornasse.. ma vabbè
🏎🏁🙋♂️
This is... Real sport's car.... Racing on the edge.... Shames modern formula 1.............*
Obviously before the existence of the FIA, otherwise they would have screwed this up as well.
Ferrari 312 pb was the best few years after no more Work Team endurance Great Driver's too
La vera ALFA ROMEO
Targa florio corsa memorabile fantastica
No KERS, no DRS, no head protections. Only real automobilism for real men
…no fugly fins, no traction control, no hybrids, no whining even because their tire blew out - TBH, I stopped watching modern motorsport because those modern cars don’t speak for me anymore
👍
Wish they put the targa on GT7
epic
This is how Italians drive everyday
Only race better than the Targa Florio in my opinion was the Mille Millia..
3:47 --> 0 fks given :)))
Pazzo!
no traction control, no radios, no abs.
Just brass balls the size of boojums.
Coraggio, capacità, anche di improvvisare.La macchina la portava il pilota, oggi è la macchina che lo porta.Tanto di cappello alla tecnica attuale, ma per le corse è troppo, se vuoi vedere il talento devi avere meno gestione elettronica.Niente a che vedere con le piste attuali che sembrano delle Scalestrics per bambini.

Macchine, piloti e corse vere, non la F1 telecomandata e solo aerodinamica di oggi.
