I saw the Matra with Jacques Laffite at the Long Beach Grand Prix in 1976. We were stationed at the end of the long back straight, just at the braking point. The sound was otherworldly. All the Cosworth powered cars would come by sounding like, well, Coswworth V8's. Deep throaty rumble. Next came the flat 12 Ferraris. Beautiful, smooth, sounded like a well oiled sewing machine. And then, the Matras! An absolutely ear splitting banshee howl you could ear the full length of the straight. I literally laughed out loud every time they went by! Tingles up the spine! I will never forget that sound, and I have never heard anything its equal since!
I had the privilege of hearing the Matra V12 in the 70s at Watkins Glen. I'm sure I lost some of my hearing to that motor and it was worth it. If only F1 sounded like that again !
He makes it look easy and fun. At one point in the top revs the engine seem to turn one bank backwards creating that beautiful metallic high pitch friction noise. Like a wheel or prop going so fast it looks as if turning very slowly. Or a Fender DeLuxe on full gain with steaming tubes. J.L. was such a funny man and superb driver. The car extremely beautiful. The Ligier effort fantastic. Merci beaucoup 😊
Juste énorme le son de ces moteurs. Quelle nostalgie même si je n'ai pas connu cette époque. C'était vraiment du pilotage et du talent pur, sans aucune forme d'assistance. Et les pilotes avaient du mérite de risquer leur vie chaque week-end de course.
Il "vero" circuito di Monza, punto e basta! La prima variante e le due curve di Lesmo mi fanno venire in mente troppi bei ricordi. Il pubblico ammassato, no non ce la faccio, mi viene da piangere.
They sounded so much better than today's car and I love the non-existent safety regulations at the start with everyone hanging off the yellow sign lol.
The sign, I believe from everything I've ever read about Monza, is located off of the track premises. I saw the fans do the same thing to a Pepsi billboard and the description stated that it wasn't within the boundaries of the track. So while the race organizers probably (maybe?) would have prohibited it, it was then up to the local police to enforce any safety measures regarding the climbing of signs. And in all seriousness, they were probably fans too, and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if one or 2 of those people worked for the police dept. That's Monza, baby
A l'époque je trainais souvent à Magny-Cours et j'ai eu la chance de les approcher, pilote et auto. J'étais étonné de voir le repère sur le compte-tour à 14 000t/mn. J Laffite au rétrogradage envoyait le moteur à ce régime, les ressorts de soupapes était évidemment en conséquence.
In a sense, at the Time, it was the best package.. But things were different in those Days.. As far as the Matra engine, it was absolutely fantastic and reliable,.. And that sound, especially when shifting back and on breaking, quite special. It sounds like 12 moped engines running at the same Time :-)

Trackside trees on the inside of Ascari! Grandstand on the edge of the track on the outside of the second Lesmo! Although we are in a much less interesting era of F1, safety has come on quite a bit. Indeed, poor Ronnie Peterson was to die on race day.

W-O-W !! The sound of REAL racing cars. A V12 - Matra or Ferrari... I don't care. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. Pure Moozik to my ears either way 🎶 And cars you had to DRIVE. Manual gearbox, no engine mode/diff split/fiddly other cockpit adjustable sh*t. Just get in, drive fast, and shut the f*ck up. REAL racing by REAL Pilots. Forget the eF1 cars that sound like glorified Hoovers these days. Yanno... they trot out an "old" V10 at the Melbourne AUS GP for demo runs every now and then. And the entire crowd runs towards the fences to see what is making that incredible RACING sound... like... WTF *IS* that?!?. Oh... to hear a Matra or an Enzo at full lungs one day would be ever sooo sweet. It's not just a sound - it's FEELING you never forget ❤

That was F1. Not todays sewing machines. RIP Ronnie! You are stil number one.
Han skulle ha blivit världsmästare om han körde nutidens bilar.
What a glorious sound ❤
Grand pilote trop vite oublié, Matra V12, marque trop vite oubliée, la grande époque des talents français en F1.
Bien dit!!
I didn't forget him. Many others haven't either...
Jacques Laffite était, de loin, le plus intelligent et le plus sensé
des pilotes français de F1.
This vid is like a dream
The Best Engine Sound,in the World.
Merci mr Laffite !!!

Nothing can equal the howl of the Matra V-12
Magnifique Jacques Laffite ♥ sur la Ligier Matra ! On voit sortir devant lui Niki Lauda & John Watson sur Brabham Alfa Romeo 🙋🏁
jラフィーさん、本当に名ドライバーでした。
un pur regal .merci pour cette melodie et revoir j laffite fait encore plus plaisir.

Wow, that is mechanical music at its best!
This is one of the video new F1 fans should watch just to understand what they are missing
2:55 The stand on the left side of the straight before the Parabolica, the best view in F1 in my opinion
Was there in 86
1978
@@paulbugoni2846 Was there in 75.
I'd think the original grandstands outside the second Lesmo curve (more of a sweeper back then) would have been awesome
Quel son fabuleux ❤
c était monstrueux à l'époque !!!!!
I am old enough to have seen a french gp with these type of cars
I always go back to watching this DVD (yes I still have a player) to view as escapism to the past of my childhood racing fantasy.
What DVD is it where there's commentary from Mario Andretti? I have Lap of the Gods but that's with Murray Walker.
@@alain46 my copy of Lap of the Gods has this very narration by Mario Andretti.
They sounded so much better than today's car and I love the non-existent safety regulations at the start with everyone hanging off the yellow sign lol.
completely agree. and for me its also the mechanical engineering instead of the more digital modern engineering.
I don't think you would if you were in the cockpit

Acho que foi o último MATRA na F1. Saudades e....................ARREPIOS!

That engine blew your ears off. Alfa was also great. By the way he is following Niki Lauda in the No 1 Brabham Alfa
A really absolutely Dream Car!!!!!
Oh yes. Love it too
Énorme ❤❤❤❤
The best V12 sound along with 90s V12 Ferrari
Honda RA121E
Great escape into 1970s racing !
Formidable and amazing, much than today....
Fantastic, thank you! : )
Oh, I remember those V12s from the late 60,s and 70,s. You could hear them all around the track, including all gear shifts.
Amazing

Current F1 cars are a joke compared to the cars of the 70's, 80's & 90's
However they don’t kill 2 or 3 drivers each year, so there is that.

At the 2024 Imola GP, best sound was a 1973 Fittipaldi and Senna's 1993 V8 McLaren
In a sense, at the Time, it was the best package..
But things were different in those Days..
As far as the Matra engine, it was absolutely fantastic and reliable,..
And that sound, especially when shifting back and on breaking, quite special. It sounds like 12 moped engines running at the same Time :-)
Alfamale behind the wheel! Balls of steel.
Excelente ®️👍
The time when half of the car was an engine…
Aerodynamics doesn't matter just powerful engine and go straight ahead as fast as you can tyres fuel and other shits really don't matter.
Nothing sounded like the Matra V12
They ran essentially the same Matra engine at the 24 hours of LeMans in that period.
C'est Beau.

The best way to avoid driving a car into a tree is to keep your eyes on the road.
