How moving to watch your footage . Born in MONACO I was ten years old by the time of your video .I have good memories of these Grand PRIX times .Thanks for sharing.
Great footage but I'm more impressed by the recording quality. Color 2" Quad recorders were just being developed and this was probably PAL or SECAM at that. It could be scanned color negative film and the European standard conversion added the motion blur. The reds don't show any banding at all which is great. Having a historic moment preserved with such quality is not common or easy!
People acting like these cars were futuristic but not really. They’d do 240 in a straight line but would take forever to get there, take forever to brake from that speed, and had zero grip or stability so if anything went even a little bit wrong at that top speed, you’d just instantly die. And that did happen multiple times in this race
