It's such a surreal experience for a young adult like me to experience what F1 was like in the 1980s. Truly fascinating to see the pov of brutal acceleration from F1 cars during this era!
Why would they take it down? It's a part of F1 history. Forget ownership rights and other such nonsense, FOMA/Liberty Group, leave it alone. Just let us enjoy it.
Yeah, FOM & Duke videos are the main culprits. I still remember when the 1966 Monaco GP, 1967 French, 1969 German and 1971 Italian GP were still on here. Mike Pinto was great for a lot of late 1970s and early 1980s stuff too. Got shut down because of the above claim for copyrights. Too bad since no one lives forever to garnish endless royalties.
Amazing that the F1 media didn’t see these videos and realise how good an idea this would be. It took 20+ more years before we saw camera views like this.
None of this footage is from actual races or Q laps. This footage was mostly shot with large heavy cameras that slowed the car down below peak speaks. A thousand feet of 35mm is 2 kilos, sans camera. When you're doing everything to save a gram or two you can't then be expected to put a 8lb machine to the top of your car.
Think of it like this, in sharp contrast to today’s F1 cars, the drivers of the 60’s/70’s/80’s knew that if they had a large shunt at speed they probably wouldn’t walk away from it. Also, they had to remove one hand from the wheel every time they wanted to shift, so in a high speed corner, they had to make a decision about when to try to effect a shift, because taking one hand off the wheel mid corner under high-G loading wasn’t an option. This was a very different sport back then.
That long beach footage is insane, props to depallier for going for it like that w the camera A turbo that’s constantly ready to burst into life, and a car that’s on the limit and sliding around. Genuinely beautiful
Old Long Beach looks like an absolute treat to drive, sliding through that first corner while also dropping down a bit, street circuits were something else back then.
You really get an understanding w/the onboards of what kind of immeasurable beasts those turbo cars were, the way the boost rushes up on the drivers in an instant, and almost violently.
@@trappenweisseguy27That part, my dear friend, remains forever incomprehensible. How men, aware of such danger, accepted such a car setup where the driver is literally the first thing to be splattered in a head-on. The reason current F1 cars are so long is to create a buffer zone to greatly reduce the G-forces on the driver during a crash. Same reason consumer cars MUST have a crumple zone.
I learned from these videos that Patrick Depailler was a true badass! Some drivers clearly drove quite slowly with the camera attached to the car (the camera systelm was quite big), but Patrick really went at it.
Yeah you watch the first half of the video and it’s a lot of drivers just doing pretty safe laps, not pushing the car too much. But once you see Patrick actually floor the car out of the Long Beach hairpin you realize just how magnificent and quick these cars are. Just look at how fast those palm trees go by!
Yeah that one has allways been my favourite clip of all time of driving in wet conditions... Now I know the name of the driver ... 100% Kudos to Mr. Depailler. Real manual driving without any driving aids in it's pure form. My absolute all time favourite clips in addition to this are still Senna driving a regular Honda NSX roadcar @ Suzuka, and the old clip from Nordschleiffe where Stephan Rozer drives the unforgiving yellow RUF at limit multiple laps, and Ari Vatanen's legendary old close call ("dear god.." ) clip with Opel Manta at 1983 Manx Rally.
I recently watched the full 1978 season and I'm convinced he must be one of the most underated ever. He was so far ahead of his teammate Pironi, it wasn't funny and he should have won at least one race, had he not had a technical issue on the final laps. These videos confirm his talent and dedication.
Whats so impressive about these times is these guys knew if they crashed it would hurt , or even worse. They drove cars with very little protection, no power steering , proper manual gear boxes, around tracks with no room for error with no run off areas and as a result deserve so much more respect than todays spoiled brats who think they are the bees knees.
Modern F1 drivers shouldn't call themselves drivers. They're just gamers who plays real life sim racing. Ever since the flappy paddle shifter, F1 has been declining. We need these turbo H-pattern cars back in F1. We need cars which drivers have to drive in.
I never was one to glorify the danger or rewind a terrible crash....but it occurs to me watching these films how different the mindset must be today vs back then...Today if you crash you know you will very likely walk away unscathed....You know there will be no fire (I am still shocked at the fire ball Grosjean found himself in just a few years back) You know you will wait about 45 seconds before you have help, you know your sport is pushing the state of the art in safety and that it is an important part of the business model.....Back then....you knew fire was a real possibility and that people would be coming but from too far away and with little or no training let alone fire suppression equipment....I miss the racing from back then....I am so grateful for the advances in safety....
@@itsberto7334the point is the drivers don't think they are going to get hurt if they crash. Even though it is still possible. Back then drivers knew they would most likely get hurt. And possibly be killed. Now drivers think a fatality is a freak thing not an occupational hazard.
@@theant9821i kind of got the idea that drivers then willingly never took the time to consider death as a possibility, a "it'll happen, but not to me" kinda mentality.

This was the video called "Lap of the Gods". At 16:20 Eddie Cheever in the wet at Detroit I consider one of the best pieces of on board footage ever..he fights to get the car around. I spoke with him about it a few years back and he said it was one of the dumbest things he ever did. " Back when I was young...and dumb" lol
Watching the dynamics of racing in the 70s and 80s made me realise how the braking distances and the speed of gearshifts have changed. I watched F1 way back in the early 60s and it is impossible to compare the drivers of those cars to modern F1. The disciplines for racing are both tough but in completely different aspects. Stop saying one is better than the other they are not comparable.
I think he meant the renault re40 that eddie cheever drove. Yeah that thing looked like an angry bull in which eddie barely able to control it. @@Lacaille8760
@lancedryver7674 Yep, they had an engine that lastet just for the qualifying bc turbos were up to the edge. BMW and Renault on their peak, where the BMW was stronger with it's famous straight four (M10) from the 60s mid-class car.
Great to see and hear the cars frrom my favourite era of F1. All the drivers of the day, some sadly no longer with us but fondly remembered. Thank you so much for the upload of this video. 💜
Man kann vor den Rennfahrern der damaligen Zeit einfach nur den Hut ziehen, in diesen brachialen PS-Monstern Rennen zu fahren und immer eine Hand vom Lenkrad zu nehmen weil man schalten muss...Wahnsinn Die waren einfach aus einem anderen Holz geschnitz...!!!
Purely honestly, that is is the dynamic and satisfying reaction of the car to driving effort. Watch this around 40:30. So missed it... And what an breathtaking legendary Long Beach track! Indy Cars are still racing there.
Thank you very much for the video, it is a fantastic record and legacy of the history of motorsport from a perspective that really gives us an understanding of how difficult it was to drive these cars, before the current era in which electronics replaced everything. Today it's no longer possible to really get to know the talent of the drivers, we just see them sit in the car seat and... press buttons and turn the steering wheel a little to each side. Today's drivers talk to their cars, drivers of the past fought with them; it was much more interesting to watch. 😅
Was thinking the same. The 500 four cylinder two strokes that were labelled “the Unrideables”, because they would throw you down the track as soon as look at you. The computer aids were the riders throttle hand integrated with their seat of pants dyno. No anti anything. Anti wheelie, anti high side, anti spin up, anti lock, bank sensitive throttle limiter……None of the above. I used to watch in admiration. Mind you, they were “de trop”. It couldn’t last.
It is sobering and instructive to see the size of the cars with respect to the tracks of the time. Tracks like Spa only became more menacing when the cars got bigger and faster.
What a beast of a car that must have been, Tambay's Renault RE60. Passing cars like they are standing still, and wheelspin in every gear, terrifying and beautiful all at once.
The sounds in these videos is perfection. I would love to see AI used to sharpen these videos. With AI, there could be massive sharpening and fine tuning of the content because there is very little of the drivers showing and all the AI has to work with is a known arithmetic algorithm to it. Wonderful wonderful footage. From Patrick just hanging it out sideways for a hundred yards, over and over, with his wet Canada drive, to the bird chirp of the wastegate on that spectacular Renault to the just incredible music that Matra put out. I miss these days for the music and the bravery and skill, but the cars were death traps. That, I don't miss.
And I love the conversations from the young kids today they say all the cars today are much more difficult to drive well you might have to have a greater knowledge of technology, but holding the wheel with one hand as you approach a turn at 150 miles an hour and your downshifting working the clutch and gas is no easy feat 😊

Thanks for this video, it was pointed to me by a friend from our little XBox group and i really enjoyed watching at it, it was a jump back in my childhood memories. I wanted to tell you that i edited a little part of your video ( around 1 minute at 1:21:30 ) and added it to my little channel, i pointed your link on the description to give you credit, tell me if you mind or if i can do anything else.
This is insanely cool. When F1 was far more a driver's series...these beasts were a hand full...you'd better have fast hands, a fast line, and ice water in your blood because you do NOT want do one of two things: lose, or hit the fence! Both are going to hurt. Still, easier to drive than a present-day IndyCar...as much opposite lock as directional steering in those monsters! More similar to classic era F1 than present day F1 lol...
Yeah, and absolutely NO traction control…… noticeably. Today’s cars are said to have no TC, but the Cheever footage begs to differ doesn’t it? Same with Depailler in Canada….. power sliding through every corner
@@carlosdezee5003The modern cars don't have any TC. They just seem much more planted than back then because of what modern tires and chassis are capable of.
Massive turbos were probably required back then to drag the weight of their massive balls around the circuit. Balls so massive, getting a seat fitting took an extra 3 hours….😂
the whole "those were the days" vibe on the comment section is understandable.. yet somehow.. super annoying. What's next.. Ben Hur Roman chariot races as the epitome of "true" racing? The control over REAL horsepower they possessed ! .. oh my.. they were racing with their lives !!

Damn, Watching Eddie Cheever work around detroit got my palms sweaty...
i miss watching racing with a clutch and shifter.
Fantastic stuff, thank you!
Love the old days!
René Arnoux (et super beau gosse), euh, il va très vite à Montréal, c'est impressionnant.
crazy to think video games today have better quality than this video. Only took like 40 years.
THANK YOU.
Lovely footage!
that downhill slide 😆👌
Ugh those gear changes in Jabouilles are pure perfection
45:58 rare view of pedals. Heel toe required.
Back when it was loud and dangerous, the golden age
I can't wait to go on mission in that year ..I love it
Just watch , listen and smell. Classic F1
Thanks for this video, it was pointed to me by a friend from our little XBox group and i really enjoyed watching at it, it was a jump back in my childhood memories. I wanted to tell you that i edited a little part of your video ( around 1 minute at 1:21:30 ) and added it to my little channel, i pointed your link on the description to give you credit, tell me if you mind or if i can do anything else.
It’s not my work so do whatever you want with it. :)
@@GPBX01B Alright then,thanks again, since I am not much confident with UA-cam and it's rules I wouldn't want to miss to give you credit 😉
Los pilotos de esa época realmente disfrutaban del manejo y la compenetración con el F1 Sensacional Gracias
Ni más ni menos que los de hoy en día.
This is insanely cool. When F1 was far more a driver's series...these beasts were a hand full...you'd better have fast hands, a fast line, and ice water in your blood because you do NOT want do one of two things: lose, or hit the fence! Both are going to hurt. Still, easier to drive than a present-day IndyCar...as much opposite lock as directional steering in those monsters! More similar to classic era F1 than present day F1 lol...
So real back then.
Excellent.
Lmao I love how noticeable the turbos are, can SEE a mile off when they're kicking in nevermind hear
Shifting Gears with a Shifter… not pressing a Button.
the concept seems the same to me. both variants shift the gear. so, what its the difference?
Detroit on a sunny day was tough enough. Cheever shows us that Detroit in the rain was a whole other level! 16:18
Yeah, and absolutely NO traction control…… noticeably. Today’s cars are said to have no TC, but the Cheever footage begs to differ doesn’t it? Same with Depailler in Canada….. power sliding through every corner
@@carlosdezee5003The modern cars don't have any TC. They just seem much more planted than back then because of what modern tires and chassis are capable of.
@@2K-Tan you’re probably right 👍🏻
Such absolute hero’s
Scotty, the plural of hero is heroes not hero's lol.
superb
This awesome archived should be called "on board with".
Fenomenalno, kao da sada, 2023 godine voziš brz automobil sa manuelnim menjačem, istinski heroji, sede u bolidu goli do pojasa maltene....
Massive turbos were probably required back then to drag the weight of their massive balls around the circuit. Balls so massive, getting a seat fitting took an extra 3 hours….😂
Wonderful!
Che saund questa si che era musica
the whole "those were the days" vibe on the comment section is understandable.. yet somehow.. super annoying.
What's next.. Ben Hur Roman chariot races as the epitome of "true" racing?
The control over REAL horsepower they possessed ! .. oh my.. they were racing with their lives !!
This is absolutely brilliant. Where can i buy this in DVD? Tried Duke Video but no avail.
Lens bugpocalypse at Hockenheim.
THX 👍
Et les circuits ! Des circuits d'hommes....
I would love to see the current 20 drivers take on some of these cars. I doubt most of them would be able to finish, let alone win.
