This guy is actually a pretty decent driver. A 1976 March has no business mixing it with a 1982 Arrows or Williams, which are both fully ground effected but he takes it right up to them. His exits from the Parabolica and Ascari are excellent.
MARCH 761 got an excellent Double Four Valve engine from Cosworth. That engine reminds me still of most lotus F1 cars from the ‘60s. Nice F1 sound from the ‘70s! Orgasm!
@@kcosgrovelakers I could be wrong, but I think that they use the Cosworth DFV, that is been produced from the late 60s to the early 80s Edit I didn't noticed the first part of the comment, lol
@Kunt So what, you had to drive them back then. Probably no power steering, no traction control, and lockups could kill you if they flat spotted but not cut a tire.
@@thethirdman225 well I made a mistake ,11 spectators were killed in 1 race hence why group B was canned, www.google.co.uk/search?source=hp&ei=8VGNXMCPO4HSa-bihMgG&q=how+many+died+in+group+b+rally&oq=how+many+died+in+group&gs_l=mobile-gws-wiz-hp.1.0.0j0i22i30j33i160l2.4961.15043..15711...4.0..0.123.1901.23j2......0....1.......8..35i39j0i131j46j46i131j0i10j46i10j0i20i263j46i20i263j0i131i20i263j0i22i10i30.D3VJMJIz1f4 here's a link 6 drivers killed in 1 season so yeah way more dangerous
Bekir Ozakin This is old school formula one right there! Yeah. V10 is my favorite and so as the classic Cosworth Ford DFV V8 engine, too. Those sounds I heard on this RU-vid racing content here is so orgasmic to me. I’m hooked on Schumacher’s Ferrari V10 sound that went up to 18,600 or greater revolutions per minute. That’s high. The Ford DFV v8 from the 1960’s and ‘70’s has a redline of over 10,000. 😱 my goodness! Those were the good old days of formula one. V10 High revving sounds existed from 1999 to 2005. And the DFV; 1966 to after 1980. The engines sounds fantastic. For my relaxation and enjoy of watching onboard racing content all over RU-vid. But Barney ward got a lot of v10 content he did before. The Double Four Valve Ford Cosworth V8 did not make these no more after 1980. And the most tragic loss of the V10 was after the 2005 season. 2006 was the death season for formula 1. It was downgraded for 18,700 to 16,700 rpms for the Scuderia Toro Rosso STR1 car with the engine that is a year of age. 2006 in a v10 is the last one left in the season. You ain’t going to like this. It makes you cry...the v10 sorrow...whining in the low pitched v10. It’s not a beautiful sound it’s a sad sound. 2004: beautiful over 18k rpm and in ‘06; it doesn’t sound beautiful anymore. Wow...RIP V10 dies after the ‘06 season tragedy in the toro rosso teams car. They don’t make it no more. Rest in Paradise on the 3 liter V10...I’m going to cry now for the Ferrari v10. Goodbye V10. Longest comment of 2019 made by Kyle Cosgrove. Im 21. I hope you enjoy and love me. And have a nice life watching formula 1. 😢Goodbye. V6 sounds unpleasant like the demons.
@@fw1421 the "computer controlled" cars of today have no active suspension, no abs and no traction control. Also the increased speed and g forces means the pilots need faster reflexes and higher g tolerance.
Great video. Missed shift, pffft. I sure couldn't criticize this driving. Sheesh, he passed two cars, both of which looked like more modern vintage. That is still one serious race track to be driving in an aluminum tub vintage F1 car!!!
Thank you very much for this video, great quality of shooting. It's a sad thing Ronnie can't drive it again nowadays, he would have been a very fast grand-father for sure !
This car has no turbo. It is a naturally aspirated Ford Cosworth DFV. The tacho is a mechanical Smiths unit which had a unique way of jumping to revs rather than moving smoothly from one point to another.
This is a real race. No buttons to KERS, DRS and "Butterflies" for the gear shift on the steering wheel. The pilot missed two gears and should have lost 0.5s to 07s in error. That makes a huge difference in a race. Today, the F-1 is just a game, because not need drivers in cars.
You're ridiculous. The buttons and gadgets on the steering wheel are so that the driver can adjust the car on the fly, not so that his job is any easier. The driver STILL has to feel the car if he's out on the track, hence why he has the ability to change the setup at his own will. The driver still has to hit the gas, brake, give steering lock, nothing has changed except for the fact that computer have added ease to everything. They don't have traction control, abs, stability control, active suspension or ANYTHING of the sort as far as electronic aids that would make the drivers job EASIER. So again, please tell me why today's F1 drivers don't have to be in the car for it to work?
Great driving, great era. I like the first turbo era more because the car still were quite at the technical as the March in this video (though Lotus experimenting with active suspension on the 98T or 99T), but with 1500 PS monsters on which a car was strapped.
@@christineayres5339 yes aerodynamics did play a part but I also believe that the simplicity of shifting gears where now drivers have both hands on the wheel while shifting gears with no clutch peddle plays a part in making the cars faster.
@@yellow_x522 But there's no skill involved in that, Senna Prost Lauda Hunt etc all had to drive at speeds of over 140mph round corners with one hand off the wheel to change gears ,today's F1 drivers just simply could not exist in those times as they lack the skills ,Heel and Toe technique etc ,let's see Lewis or any other modern driver do that
@@christineayres5339 How do you know modern drivers can't. Just because we've never seen them drive stick shifts doesn't mean they can't. They are coordinated enough to drive while handling all their car's systems on their steering wheels, i'm positive they could coordinate themselves around the old stick shift machinery.
Very impressive driving & as said earlier a 1976 March really has no business mixing it up with ground effect cars from the early 80’s. Unless you really can drive... And let’s not forget, Ronnie Peterson WON the Italian GP in 1976 in a very outdated March. Takes one of the All Time Greats to manage such a feat..1
Good to see these cars being revved out really hard so as we may see what they were all about, and not just nurse them around a track to spare their engine. Interesting to see the gearbox H pattern layout. First gear left behind, second gear middle front and so on and so fourth. Awesome onboard. Great driving.
theres was no need to nurse engines in the 70s and 80s there was no cost caps, in 85 while piquet was thrashing his williams around the honda mechanics were filmed in the pits quietly building more engines for qualifying, race, spare car etc.
@@TheMadmagik good times. Bad for some pockets I guess. Personally I much prefer no cost caps and let them push the machines as hard as possible. Times have changed a lot I guess.
Wrong shifting at 1:42, he was lucky not to have engine blown-up! Shifter is a H-shape, but remember that commonly in that era the speeds order was R-1 on left line, 2-3 in middle, 4-5 in the right one. So, when he looks like to shift where in a 4-speeds H-shape shifter there is the 1st, he is actually using 2nd speed.
Ecco la Formula 1 che tutti amavano, quella che metteva in risalto soprattutto le qualità del pilota e non quello del giocatore da playstation. Cambio rigorosamente manuale altro che levette dietro al volante, motore aspirato o turcompresso ma senza limitazioni elettroniche o kers. Spettacolo puro!!!
it's a five speed gearbox, 1st is all the way to the left and backwards, 2nd is in the middle and forwards, 3rd middle-backwards, 4th right-forwards and 5th right-backwards, probably has a reverse as well in left-forwards position. my guessing is also that the gears are had rather far a part in the pattern to minimize risk of a missed gear or wrong gear selection
Much as I don't like the sound of the V6 engines very much, we'll have to admit that F1 is doing this for the sake of environment and I appreciate their intentions. By the way, people in the comments section were complaining about the flappy pedals, I actually think they're cool and the h pattern setups had a high probability of blowing up the engines.
That instrument is called a tachometer, not a rev counter, which just counts revs much the way an hourmeter counts time. A tacho gives RPM. The English seem very good at getting this wrong.
F1 AMIGO ERA ISSO PORRA, TUDO NA MÃO, TALENTO, SEM TELEMETRIA, FEED BACK DA EQUIPE, ME AJUDA NISSO, NAQUILO E O CARAI. OU TU ERA BOM OU UM MERDA. MAS SOZINHO E SEM AJUDA E SEM CULPA DOS OUTROS.
Those car literally had no brakes compared to today. And the kickback in the wheel looks painful when he taps a curb. That’s a real mans racing machine.
Commonly known as a dog-leg gear box, due to the fact that 1st is rarely used. You can also see at the start that he's having to push the gear lever really hard into 1st like his leg is in the way or something, probably deemed OK because 1st is only used when taking off from a stand still
Lots more down to the driver. Manual clutches and gear shift, miss a gear or select the wrong gear you blow the engine. I know technology moves on but this is what people want to see. More driver, less car.
The problem however is this.... it's impossible to unlearn knowledge. Sure, the FIA could pass rules to make F1 more like this race (don't the engines sound wonderful) but then WEC Le Mans cars and Indy Cars would be the fastest race categories and F1 would be the third fastest category - possibly even slower than F2 .
Ivan Julian totally accept that. Technology is technology and a lot of these innovations end up in our road cars. Unfortunately from a spectacle viewpoint it’s gone the wrong way. IMHO anyway.
@@con8v11 I'm increasingly leaning to reverse grids as the solution. However, a version of reverse grids which are different to most. I'm leaning to a system where the amount of points on offer for qualifying should be the same as the number of points on offer for race results. This would loads of pressure on everyone to qualify as high as possible, but then on Sunday, start the race in reverse grid order. We'd probably need to drastically create more distance between the start rows for safety reasons but one thing's for sure, we'd see loads of passing and a lot more mid field winners.
@lol shit Totally are, you don’t win championships with crap cars. However cars back then were far less reliable, far more dangerous and if you missed a gear, over revved, that would be your race run. There was no technology to save you from a mistake.
Essa é uma corrida de verdade. Sem botões para KERS, DRS e "borboletas" para a troca de marchas no volante. O piloto errou duas marchas e deve ter perdido de 0,5s a 07s no erro. Isso faz uma diferença enorme em uma corrida. Hoje, a F-1 é apenas um videogame, pois nem precisaria de pilotos nos carros.
I couldn't help but notice that from 00:17 to about 1:20 there are several moments in which the rev counter seems not to work: the hand falls back to 0 even when the car is clearly revving. Is it just faulty or is there a particular reason for this strange behaviour?
