    Great clip. How did they film that. I can not see any movie camera back or front. No video cams in those days. ??????

    They used only one camera. It was mounted on the front and behind the driver. They used only 2 sets of filming and the cutting and montage of both sets is perfect!

    At those days this equippment was quite heavy.

    Most interesting in this clip is how easy Fangio did the driving on camber. It is very easy with a 250F as the car is handling so nicely. As a driver you have to work much more in a 300S than in a 250F.
