These cars have cable brakes. looking at that video, I cant see the front brake drum cable being pulled at any time..can the driver be relying on engine braking alone?? 🤔
@@Terryorisms Well, its ok. Monaco is unforgiving, every mistake sends you into the wall there. And not only would it be a shame to smash such a nice car - its also dangerous for the driver. Racing those cars was not like racing todays cars with all the safety features in them. And Monaco in particular has killed a lot of good drivers - even up into the 90s. On a track with lots of space all around it may be a different thing, but not Monaco.
@@petebeatminister Yes, as a young kid, the earliest racing fatality I ever saw portrayed was the burning alive of Lorenzo Bandini, 1967, Monaco F1. Road & Track or Car & Driver printed a pic of him lying in the road on fire. They wouldn't show that these days. On this Monaco Historique video I noted the harbor area where he crashed, just before the tunnel, and that it's long since been smoothed over and catch-fenced.
for better handling, avoid understeer and for help the driver rotate steering wheel. because at the time car not have precision steering system like car in year 80's or 90's
This is so cool, glad I stopped by.🎉🎉🎉🎉
Who knew they sounded so serious? A real race engine!
I knew. This is some serious engine + compressor.

Es un pursang hecho en Argentina ?? Es una verdadera joya que se fabrican en Argentina
This isn't a Pur Sang replica. This is an original car...
In fact it is one of the earliest surviving Type 51 known to exist today...
Looks like a hedgehog having sex... :)
But with a million dollar car its understandable, I guess.
WE wanted to race, but the race officials wouldn't let us.

I still dont understand why all classic racers have positive camber, can someone explain?

@@dianrendra06 Ahah. Thanks.
@@carlcushmanhybels8159 you're welcome
@@dianrendra06 I would think in the wet , those cars would lose grip quite easily..very narrow compared to modern cars
@@dianrendra06 notice something else? that front brake cable does not pull once in that circuit...
