    He says all the racing gear would fit inside what he called "a ladies hat bag": Leather gloves, goggles, helmet and T shirt.
    And he thoroughly describes the Ferrari 2500, with Lancia V8 engine, 8000 rpms. A car which he won the 1956 championship. He also points out this type is the same in which Ascari drove into the ocean in 1955 Monaco.

    Descanse en paz, Maestro !!!!

    Racing on public streets within a few feet of parked cars, bystanders a couple of feet off the curb, F1 ace drifting a car sideways around turns,.........now just imagine a world without lawyers......

    The Isle of Man TT must be about the closest thing left to how it was back then. I wonder how much longer that will last. :(

    I wouldn't worry, the Isle Of Man/Northern Ireland motorcycle road racing scene isn't going anywhere.

    Guessing the clip is 1968 or near.......???

    Plenty of push built into the old Lansha..;).

    Judging from the openness of the cockpit and period safety gear, how on earth did any of them make it to retirement age ?

    Watching JMF blast through Monaco without fanfare is astonishing. Even if it was indeed filmed at 6 am, I'm certain we'd see a minimum of a few thousand fans scattered everywhere behind barricades if it was shot today...

    Great clip, thank you AO!

    Someone must have the original film of that. I would buy that if they did an HD transfer to Blu-Ray

    Halfway through the clip he adds the following comment:
    ..."when the car is just right, and the engine sounds with harmony,
    the noise turns into music, and the driver becomes the orchestra's director".

    The clip is from the movie FANGIO. Surf the net and you'll find it. If not, PM me. I have it on DVD.
    There is also a link on youtube to watch the whole movie (9 segments of 10 m in each).
    Google it : Youtube Fangio-la pelicula-Hugh Huston-Español

    And yes, it;s in Spanish. but al least you can catch a glimpse of it.

    Graet video, too bad though they didn't keep the original audio when Fangio appears to explain his trajectories :)

    Footage is from 1970 & 1971. So many fatalaties shown in the 9 clips on YouTube. Sad. Otherwise, an amazing film.
