- Upscaled 60fps footage of the 1955 Italian Grand Prix (please watch in 720p60) won by Juan Manuel Fangio in a Mercedes-Benz W196. I added sounds to the video as the original footage was silent.

whatever the race was at that time,always Fangio winning at the end...
Fangio is one of the all time greats. In a time when cars were virtually tin bathtubs full of aviation fuel that slid around everywhere, he had masterful control over whatever he was driving - Ferraris, Mercedes, Alfas, Maseratis - he could get in and win.
This dominante could bore the fans.
For site Fangio is the GOAT
Well, not ALL the time…
Now it's the same but with verstappen
@@benve2015 Not a chance. Verstappen would never win in the W14 or the SF-23. If you think I can do it I think you don't understand shit about this sport
0:06 That guy near the track taking pictures would give FIA emotional damage nowadays
This old Monza track are one of the greatest tracks in the history, this oval part is Epic ❤️
Parabolica..❤
@@lorenzoveneri4665 Yes
@@thedave7760 Yes but this is the soul of the track ok i am going to check this asseto corsa
An ideal banking track to kill yourself....
The pit board guy and flag man standing on the track while the cars fly by just a couple of feet away is bananas!
I was looking at the photographers laying on the ground next to the track at the start! Insanity.
Looks like spectators with group B rally in he 80s
yeah when watching Canada 1972 race the checked flag man was insane, he literally reminded me of a Matador.
Every car you could see him spot it, then he would start shuffling out onto the track like a dance, every car he got right next to it like that was part of the job. Even if it was out in the centre of the track he was out there too with his perfect style etc
Another era
The guy with the bottle had in-built air bags, though.
One of my biggest dreams about motorsport is the complete restoration of the oval and the full circuit, and seeing at least endurance races on it. It would be a cyclopic work and hugely expensive but what a wonder it would be...!
The oval has been restored. Lewis Hamilton and Stirling Moss took part in a publicity event on it for Mercedes a few years ago.
@@RJSRdg I meant restored in a way in which it can be used for racing. 😉
24 Hours of LeMans in May + Original 24 Hours of Monza Oval in July + Original 24 Hours of Spa Long Circuit in September. That would be epic.
I loved that the movie "Grand Prix", made in 1966, showed Monza with the oval sector. So great was the footage of the cars on those curves...
Poor Jean-Pierre Sarti.....
Yes. He was foiled by that broken hub.@@peterbloink8738
I could NOT believe the engine sound was edited in. Beautiful work !
Clarification: First time F1 raced on the oval.
The oval section was part of the original layout from 1922 and was used for several pre-F1 era Grand Prix races during the 20s and 30s.
Yes, Avus ring in Berlin, Montlehry in France in the AIACR European Championship from 1931-1939 (F1 in all but name)
Brookslands in the UK was never in the AIACR as the British GP in a counting way, but was used in period and had an oval so should count.
Man, I thought that was the Fat Controller at 1:15
1:13 what a shot!
Alfred Neubauer, Mercedes team manager.
Has ha a beer in his hand ?🤣
he
@@pierluigimariani5382
Well of course he did 😉....
But it would have to be Bürgerbräu Bamberg Weissbier... I would know. Lived there in 1987 - 1989. Good times while stationed there.
Bamberg is THE beer capital of the world. PROST!! 😜💫🍻🤗💕🌎
🍻@@maxmulsanne7054
Indy cars raced there in 1957 and 1958.....with Jimmy Bryan winning in 1957.
The track was so rough, several cars broke down.
Great, thank you so much! Amazing how fast the cars went already in 1955. Love this old tracks without any chicane!
Amazing footage of the both bankings!
The track, the wind on driver' face, the photographer lying down to shot on the start and the team chief holding a botlle of a wine (!) is a clear sign we are all going back in evolution now regarding to what is really important in life
¿Qué?
En esos tiempos, la F1 era un matadero de pilotos, las condiciones de seguridad eran desastrosas.
@@cardondelnorte104
You’re paying for the increased amount of safety with your freedom. Nobody was forced to take part in the races or to be a spectator. Only difference is these people were allowed to manage their risks for themselves.

Are we not men?
We are Devo !!
I miss this track layout. Beautiful video!
Superb upscaling. Masterpiece film footage there.
Miss race tracks that have that sort of extreme banking.
New gen F1's chassis/suspension needs to be built stronger (meaning heavier, costlier) if these sort of race tracks would ever be given a comeback approval.
Quando criança,tive um autorama com a pista de Monza...
De curva inclinada.
Anos incríveis.
Absolutely stunning how brilliant to watch and the sound
Increíbles imágenes! El impresionante peralte, la doble recta, el imponente porte de Neubauer, los hermosos Mercedes y el incomparable Juan Manuel Fangio.
Wonderfulness ! This is incredible ! Too actually see, on video, the 1st time the banked track at Monza, in Italy, being raced. thank you.C/O RDRT.
Let's go racing in a T-shirt! Saw this type of open cockpit racing as a school boy at the Australian Grand prix at Albert Park in 1956 with many of the greats of the time: Moss Behra Wharton Stan Jones (Alan's dad) Peter Whitehead Otto Stone et al. Brave men all! Cheers
El maestro Juan Manuel Fangio.
Amazing footage. Truly awesome.
I could never understand the layout of this track until I played Assetto Corsa. They literally made the start/finish straight a dual carriageway 😄
This is awesome footage
Apaixonado nos desenhos dessa época....arredondado, muito bonito e elegante. Parabens a esse canal.
Imagens incríveis! Que pista espetacular esse antigo traçado de Monza. As Mercedes totalmentes cobertas de carenagem e os outros carros pelados, parecia outra categoria. Fangio sensacional!
The good old days. Gone forever.
Wow just wow!!!! I love watching these
Driving high banks at speed when you sit a good 2 feet above the body of your car with an open cockpit wearing what amounts to an equestrian helmet on your noggin... man them cats were crazy
Amazing, high-RPM sounds for 1955 Damn!
wonderful post!
1:14 it ain't much but it's honest work
Those straight-eight Mercedes engines sounded awesome.
Wow, Monza *REALLY* changed a lot and the Monza I like is that they don't use the oval anymore, but it's one of the greatest tracks ever made...
I can't believe the flag man was standing on the track until a few years ago, crazy
Security back then was "not stepping in front of the cars".
cool footage! :-)
Awesome video! I liked the plan on Alfred Neubauer with his bottle...😉
Hillarious shot😎😎
Era más lindo así el viejo circuito de Monza, y tuvo el privilegio de ganar el más grande de todos los tiempos JUAN MANUEL FANGIO 💪🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Fantastic!!!
I remember watching F1 years ago at Monza and they would show remnants of the now overgrown banking..that was kool to see
monza's main entrance walkway tunnels right under a highly banked portion of the old track, it looks kind of ancient and really cool
Bellissimo video , complimenti!!! I love Monza! Ciao.
1:33 - For 1955?
That scoreboard was REALLY impressive to me.
☮
To be fair, the 50's weren't stone age either
Love the sound of the cars
They sound like they’re about to throw a rod. 😅
Superb!!!
Amazing. But actually the banking was there since the birth of Monza in 1922. In 1938 it was demolished and eventually rebuilt with enhanced steepness in 1955, and here yes, first used.
A buddy of mine, Tom Hamilton, lay on the banking drinking some beers back in 1964.......we were 14.
1:14 Seems like a rather fit and healthy man. Ten minutes earlier he had just arrived after his usual jog to the track and still had enough time and energy to change into his Sunday best.
Esses homens e suas máquinas maravilhosas 🏎️🏁🏁
1955年時点で既に、こんな路面状況の良いサーキットが存在していたのですね～🤔🤔
The track had already 30 years, in 1955. It is one of the oldest ever made...
Absolutely crazy!
Guy waving the checkered flag just casually standing there. What a badass
The balls on these guys. Insane circuit with the banking zero safety systems.
By thé eighties I was friend with The french ex driver André Simon Who was official for Mercedes ( 24 h le Mans 55 ... ) , Talbot , Maserati , Gordini , Ferrari ... same period as Fangio , Behra , Moss etc
When I said him how crazy was thé safety at 300 km h on a fuel tank geared with bicycle tyres , pilots " equipped " with boiled cardboard helmet and shirts as well as no rails or safety belts ( furthermore for small money ) , he always tried to explain me :
We had to brake 250 / 300 meters before thé corner to turn slowly with spectacular understear.. now they brake at 100 m to turn on a rail 3 times faster... this is much more dangerous now !!!
And he never agreed my opinion on this point despite thé number of fatal registered accidents...
In fact they loved racing so much they hv been forgetting the risks.
Jolly good balls !!
.
There is no rollover bar or HANS device. The driver is just playing a game of pop goes the weasel sitting in the car half exposed. And they're the weasels.
@@riccardo6820 I was referring to the cars themselves, but the tracks were basically even more dangerous with trees and fans straight in the path of momentum. And, despite the guard rail, car still flew off.
@@Dooblecaine Yup, and about the same odds of get smashed. BTW: HANS Device?! You might as well as been talking about them not having iPhones at the time. Hell, those weren’t even standard in F1 until recently. I’m looking at my HANS Device. Seems like overkill to be mandatory for my racing series, but I consider my brain pretty mandatory equipment.
@@riccardo6820but it was the bumps that made the banking so dangerous
Wow, brave and talented men indeed
imagine pushing the limits of these deathtraps… The balls on these guys are insane. Half their body unprotected popping out the top of the car is insanity.
I tried to walk up the banking once, it very steep.
well...they certainly put the pedal to the floor then...AND going through the banked curve they were being "bounced" like hell...and don't forget the individual straw bales.....good knows what they could have done inthe "worst" case.....
The footage is of surprisingly good quality, kudos.
Where was the audio sourced from?
A whole different world we see here !
1:14 Goldfinger 🤣🤣🤣
not Gert Fröbe, but Alfred Neubauer, team leader of Mercedes in the time (until 1955).
@@andreas7136 Interesting, thanks!
Fenomenal!
Amazing
Oh for those glory days to return.
Esse traçado de monza não é mais utilizado, mas bem que italianos e americanos poderiam fazer um acordo e depois de uma reforma realizar uma prova lá, preservando essa incrivel curva inclinada né.
Magnifique!
We need to be more clear on "the FIRST time a banking oval was used"... Brooklands in England, home of auto racing engineering, then aircraft design and manufacture (Vickers, Concorde, etc) had a very large, banked somewhat oval track since the early 1900's as a means to test aerodynamics & engineering improvements in a controlled environment !
Nice to see some real racing....
going more then 60mph makes you drift in these cars
The closed wheel mercedes is one of the weirdest cars in f1 history
When drivers had beerbelly’s and courage was more important than physics😉
O pessoal era bastante confiante, 1 metro do carro a mil. Ou louco.
Awesome, million times better than the parades they race nowadays.
Fangio, o mito!!
This is cool. My fave is the guy with the open (wine?) bottle @ 1:16.
Man, What is the sounds on this video???
I'd love to see them renovate that oval and run a NASCAR race on it! It's about the same size and banking as Talladega so it would be raceable if they could bring it up to modern specs!
Grande Chueco, grande, donde quiera que estés.
Fangio ... the best.
El ganador es el quíntuple campeón mundial de F1, el argentino Juan Manuel Fangio.
1:09 Don Fatucci
El Maestro!
1:14 mood
Fantástico!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Der dicke Neubauer mit Pulle in der Hand......
I love that the fat guy with the wine bottle is Alfred Neubauer, the Mercedes team manager
Great: One lap on the circuit and the other on the oval!!!!!!
Nuts; no seatbelts; zero safety; no aerodynamic grip. These guys were just incredibly courageous, & a little crazy😳
Bring back the banking !!... let's see how good verstappen really is
Te aseguro que lo es!
Why the fuck is that even necessary
Imagine racing in a polo shirt and slacks. Fangio is the greatest of all.
I DONT KNOW WHATS MORE IMPRESSIVE, 60FPS OR THE FOOTAGE??
we would walk the ovals as kids.. try to ride our bicycles on them.. slide down painfully many times when we climbed to high on the banking. could hear f1 cars from my house just outside the park.
They should Open it up and use it today !!
38 degrees of banking.
Daytona and Talladega nod with approval.
The F 1 drivers in the 50s and 60s were both heroic and had a death wish.
Ever hear of Brooklands in England?... the banked track predates these by several decades!
If this was still around nascar would have DEFINITELY raced here.
It is still around
Are/were there any other banked ovals that went clockwise? There aren’t any that come to mind.
0:19 roaring engines wow
0:37
There are some eras of Formula 1 where the cars are pretty ugly. This wasnt one of them. What an awesome looking grid
Fangio!!
I don't know who's braver - the drivers or the guys holding the pit boards 😂
😳crazy, and was that chap holding a bottle of champagne 🤔
If you mean Neubauer, it could be "Gumpoltskirchner". A regional vine...
I know regulations were very loose back then, but i never understood why merc was allowed to run a full fendered car
