1971 Targa Florio in 60FPS HD / Porsche 908 vs. Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 

Emozionante. Dovevo nascere 30 anni prima

Beautiful cars racing through beautiful scenery. Real racing.

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.

Le Mans cars on a twisty public road, spectators on the sidewalks and in doorways... It sure was a different time

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

The greatest and most beautiful sports car race ever. What a spectacle!

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! 😍❤️

What a treasure this footage is!

Fantastic, what a great era this was!

lolol the sleeping guy at 3:49 terrific

RIP Nino having just died a month ago September 23, 2021 in his beloved Palermo

Bellissima gara la targa florio, forse ai tempi la più bella,Grazie Nino Vaccarella ed Alfaromeo Saluti dalla Germania

You sir are doing the world a great service with this footage

thanks for sharing this beautiful footage

great video and good times

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!!

That kind of speed on period rubber makes me tighten up a little. 😂😳

Beautiful machines.. And the sound they make.. Legendary cars!🏆🙌

What a treat to find this on RU-vid! The footage looks restored ..so clear... many thanks!

Just brilliant! Bring it back!

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.

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

Beautiful Film!

I wished I was there, what a great race

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

😎LOVE THAT PURE SOUND

Very nice movie. The Alfa 33-3 and Carlo Chitti at their best! Many thanks.

che suono meraviglioso

Fantastic. Imagine being able to get that close to these amazing race cars. Amazing. 😊🇬🇧👏

Stunning video , proper cars and drivers just got on and did it,

fantastic footage, thank you so much

Amazing footage! My favourite era of cars….both racing cars and road cars. This footage makes me wish we could time travel back! 🙂

Vere gare automobilistiche!!

Che gare , che piloti , che circuiti , ! E che spettatori (sprovveduti ed incoscienti!)

Fabulous stuff. Really enjoyed that.

The way he skimmed the wall at 2:08 was incredible

Great video

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

Sensational footage thank you, the upscaling is incredible! Would love to see more onboards from the Targa Florio, is there any race footage available?

brilliant footage, nice job!

Only in Europe would you have these amazing events. Also the Mille Miglia!

1:22 this looks awesome!

The Best!!

😍😍 Quanti ricordi di una Vera originaria #terra dei motori l'unica ad aver avuto la TARGA FLORIO + 2 GP di F1 !!!!! 🏆 🏅 🥇 🎖️ 🏁 🚥 🏎️ ☀ 🌊 🗻 🇮🇲

Спасибо! Отличное видео!

Beautiful Palermo. Excellent footage

Proper Italian priorities: give the car some champagne before the driver!

When Alfa Romeo was better than Porsche...

I makes me imagine GT4 cars racing on a big road circuit.

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 ❤️💔❤️

Simply amazing...

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.

Wonderful. That looked so much better in the video than in the thumbnail

Mustang owners take note - this is how you leave a Cars And Coffee!!!!!

meraviglioso

Wonderful.

Siamo tutti tifosi! ^_-

Bravo!!!!!!!!

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.

Back when the Isle of Mann wasn't the most ridiculous (in a good way) race on the planet.

Oh, for a time machine...

Isto sim é conteúdo. Para bens

Now this is what you call motor racing.

Wish I was born earlier to see all these cars driving in anger.

surprisingly tere was never a fatal accident in the targa!

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 😱

La vera ALFA ROMEO

Sarebbe da sogno se tornasse.. ma vabbè

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.

Targa florio corsa memorabile fantastica

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

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.

The town scenes were like a Western Movie set somehow. With the gunfighters trading their horses for these race cars.

🏎🏁🙋‍♂️

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

epic

Ah, the days when spectators actually watched things, rather than recorded them on their phones…

Why those point to point races stopped to be done?

Wish they put the targa on GT7

This is how Italians drive everyday

Pazzo!

Only race better than the Targa Florio in my opinion was the Mille Millia..

3:47 --> 0 fks given :)))

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. Io li ho visti tutti, avevo 14 anni, che annate!

No KERS, no DRS, no head protections. Only real automobilism for real men

no traction control, no radios, no abs. Just brass balls the size of boojums.

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

Super! Thanks! @#rolfdejonge@
