British Grand Prix - 1967 

Those mid-60s cars are beautiful.

The best British GP driver of all time.A humble gentleman and one of the greatest ever Scottish sportsman

Great vid. I had the pleasure and privilege of spending about half an hour in Graham Hill's motorhome a short time before he took part in the 1975 British GP (Silverstone). His wife Betty made me a coffee while Graham sat opposite me and started chatting. I remember looking at his name embossed on his overalls - along with his blood group. He was a truly magical guy. He and Betty made me feel so at ease & it was an experience I will never forget. In fact it feels like yesterday since this meeting took place. I was 12 yrs young yet Graham treated me with such respect it blew me away. I was humbled beyond belief. Thank you Dave Buller (Hesketh Team - mechanic) for making this wonderful event take place. An amazing experience and a dream come true for a young lad - who was utterly in love with Formula One. I had many fantastic encounters with the Grand Prix fraternity back then. One day I will write a book about my experiences. Those memories still give me goose bumps. Happy days.

Was there at Beckets, corner, as always, Jim Clark was unbeatable, the greatest driver I have ever witnessed in my life. Met him in paddock in 63. Such a lovely gentleman. ! A part of me died when Jim died. !!!!!

These 4 1/2 minutes are more rewarding to watch than an entire race weekend of today’s F1 spectacle…

JIM CLARK - By far the greatest driver ever - no doubt. He is and was "The Best of the Best" (Fangio and Senna about Clark). No other driver in history until today was so superior as Clark - No other driver as so much "Grand Slam" - Pole/Win/Fastest Lap/Leading every lap of the race - like him. And all that from just 72 starts... ! This man is the Olymp of driving - the Michelangelo of racing - a dynamic art at the highest level. So smooth, so precise, so fast....simply out of this world. One, who won in Spa by 5 minutes (!) in monsoon rain with only one hand at the wheel (!) because of gearbox trouble...One, who takes back a complete lap (!) in Monza and back into the lead... One, who took pole on the original 22,8 km Nürburgring track by 9 (!) seconds and more....One who won Indy by 2 whole (!) laps...For eternity and by lightyears unmatched in the sport. That`s just four examples of his mesmeric unique genius...

Remember that day very well. Drove down with a mate in my Spitfire, parked trackside at Abbey, perfect hot day.Watched a super F3 race won by Alan Rollinson, then the saloon car race with Minis and Imps dicing with Camaros, Galaxies, Mustangs. Walked right round the circuit watching the GP, ending up at Club, onto the circuit after the finish, as that truck with a waving Jimmy Clark crawled past. Last time I saw him. A perfect day.

Is there anything more beautiful in the history of racing than Jim Clarke sitting in that Lotus?

Used to love that timed siren noise prior to the start and the dummy grid moving up to the main grid......really built up the atmosphere nicely. Why not reintroduce the winner's garland, so fantastic. Great memories and got me into a lifelong love of Scalextric and slot car racing!!!

Fantastic! 130, 000 spectators, and drifting through the bends.

Very nice historical footage from old good times of F1.

'With a distinctly modified suspension' How wonderfully British

So good! And the old-school commentary is very much of its time. This has to be so much better than what F1 has come to be...

2:54 a symphony in elegance and speed 🌷:)

Great video. Watching the demise of Cooper and Maserati never to be a force in F-1 ever again.

0:52 the legendary Brabham shot

WE drove up for this great GP from London. We had 'gold' paddock passes. Go anywhere and the pits. No pop stars, no bimbos and no Royalty. Five quid each.I had photographs of Graham, Clarke, Jochen Rindt and Colin Chapman standing about six feet away.Wouldn't bother now.

The days when cars looked different , were different, sounded different AND had the driver number very clearly displayed and their name !

Such brilliant brilliant footage of formula one in the late Nineteen sixties.

2:22 *Strange Noises Indeed **_Piston Broke_** !*

The genius of Clark winning again. Silverstone still looking like the old airfield that it was, before it lost its character and became the modern track it is now.

Why the F1 footage from the 60s is a thousand times better than the footage from the 80s?????

Start commando with the British flag, what a great time that was! No high sophisticated nonsense needed. Nowadays they need computer controlled lights to start, dashboards on the steering wheel, radio, 5000 sensors on the car and 500 engineers for each car to move it on the track, oh an yes still one pilot, but will be soon replaces by a robot ...

What music is that! Crazy….

Amazing how they still used tires with profile and no slicks. Was it regulation, or hadn't anybody come up with that yet?

Bob Anderson's last Grand Prix

the last season before the ugly proto-spoilers.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Loooky No Passing 😳😳😳😳😳

When men where men

Supply your engines to Mclaren, Ford!

So awful, and frankly so ridiculous, that the uniquely brilliant Jimmy was killed before the next British GP.

Sound track is 007 Bond. But hey simple When cars needed drivers to drive them.

Annoying - and over loud - background music.

1:31 Nice spot for at photo opportunity. Wonder how today's rule eager FIA would react to this.

What happened to Bandini at Monaco is tragedy. Grossjean had good technology. Bandini lived for a week. The film is not pleasant to watch.

I thought irritating and unnecessary music was a modern curse but here it’s even worse and unsuitable too!

So weird...
