Man it hurts to see those one of a kind classics bend like that. At least they stretching their legs again and not just collecting dust in a warehouse somewhere.
I think this is the proof that Monaco isn't the problem. The problem is the current cars generation that is way too big to race on such a small circuit.
I think they should keep Monaco on the calendar, but re-format it to a time-trail concept or something for that track specifically. give each driver 3 , or 5 attempts to nail the best lap with a maximum of 5 cars on the track at once .. spaced so they won't hinder eachother.
@@didgereemedia194 I don't think the problem is how wide they are, but mainly how long. A 2021 car compared with a 2000 car is longer by a good chunk of the tyre and the entire front wing. Just way too long, even for racing without any traffic.
and they break way too easily, back in the day you could touch a bit and it is ok, nowadays you always break some little flap that loses you 0.1 seconds a lap
For those who question why these cars are racing. First, yes the cars are original, not replicas. However it's worth considering that even in period, the cars would regularly have been crashed and had parts replaced, by the end of a year of F1 very few parts will remain the same as when they were built. The phrase 'Triggers broom' comes to mind. The technology is simple by modern standards and anything that gets broken can be remade to the original specification. Historic racing is popular with championships and big grids for all sorts of older racing cars. The reason - the cars are often more interesting and exciting to drive than their modern counterparts. These old F1 cars are expensive to race, but relative to comparable modern racing cars, not so much. If they weren't racing, most of these cars would be rotting in a barn. Instead we get to see them in action and restored to their former glory. It's absolutely the best thing for keeping as many of these fantastic cars in one piece for people to see and enjoy.
So I'm just curious how much of these things are actually getting rebuilt after the kind of crashes we see here? I have got absolutely no problem with racing these historic cars and I think it's the most appropriate way to preserve them, provided that anything that gets wrecked can be, at the very least, restored into a "static display" presentation of the car. In my mind, at some point, each and every one of those cars IS going to run it's last lap. You simply cannot preserve anything indefinitely, it WILL deteriorate eventually. I just hope that when they've hit the point that it can't go racing anymore it's at least going to be polished up to be put on a stand somewhere, similar to how many vintage aircraft are treated.
@@larrythorn4715 it will certainly be rebuilt. It's too valuable not to. The drawings will generally still exist, but even if not with modern technology it's possible to replicate any part. I have seen cars rebuilt with little more than the chassis plate remaining from period, but as everything is made to the original specification it's still considered the same car. Most historic race cars require authenticity papers and the requirement is for a 'continuous racing history ' to prove that it has links to an original chassis, even if many of the component parts have been replaced. Without that link to the original chassis number it is considered a replica and generally not eligible to race.
Man I love historic F1 cars. The fact they still race them too makes me incredibly happy. As long as they keep making new parts for them and they're not trashing the original parts!
Unfortunately, much of the safety comes from the size and shape of the current pod. They’ll be able to tighten them up a little bit for the ‘26 season, but they won’t be drastically smaller cars.
for those curious: fixing them after they crash is not hard to do. there is whole teams and divisions dedicated to doing exactly that so we can see them going on the road again. Examples are: Classic Team Louts, Williams Heritage, AF Corsa Clienti (these are for everything classic ferrari), and much more. every year parts built to original spec are built just for ocasions just like these shown on the video, and are inspected by the International FIA stewards so there is no modern trickery, so don't worry lads, the cars won't be disapearing nor they gonna be tainted by modernity.
As a classic F1 Car enthusiast I can say after this Video: My hard broke watching the crashes. Also congrats! YT Algorhytm blessed you recommending this Vid to me :D

@@napttusen sir these are a small few dozen groups of cars, they aren’t destroying the entire environment. And also these cars are probably recreations and copies of the real priceless ones in museums so they would be able to install safety systems in the copies
@@napttusen You have a problem there on the long run. Fast forward 2050 and these cars will be seen as totally obsolete and youll see hamiltons and vettels more fuel efficient safer cars racing on track. And halos arent that required looking at how slow the cars are going
It's a bit depressing and somewhat humbling when you see those old 70's F1 cars. They are almost like go-carts compared to our modern day SUV's sized monoliths that can hardly get around these old street tracks like Monaco. Will be interesting to see how this years cars fare. I have a particular fondness for the Lotus. One of my first Christmas presents in the 70's was a Scalextric track with the #5 John Player Special Lotus 77. That set went to Egypt and back when my dad worked there for 3 years lol.
I wish they would do more races with classic cars (or just classic style replicas with modern innards). There is a different driving style than what we have today with the classic F1 cars because of the aero and tech of the day.
I'm always in two minds about historic car racing. It's wonderful to see and hear the cars I used to watch racing when I was young, and they shouldn't just be gathering dust in a museum, but many of the cars are absolutely unique and when they end up in the armco barrier it's painful to watch.
its more painful watching them sitting idle in someones air conditioned garage, theyre built to race. anyway most replaceable parts on these are reproduction
in the times of 3D-printing, spare part production is not a problem anymore. You can 3D-scan a part from the undamaged side, mirror it and have it 3D-printed.
Senna won Monaco 6 times in 10 years and if he lived he most likely would have won another 4 or 5.Truly an unbelievable driver and IMHO still the greatest I've ever seen.
More or less like back in the days with some extras like some roll bars or something like that (as long as it doesnt change the car and esp the driving feeling to much)
I know it's sad to see, but you can't be surprised that some of these historic cars have been totaled. By putting aggressive drivers, priceless cars, and a tight street circuit altogether, you are creating a scenario in which calamity is inevitable.
There’s a phrase I like a lot: “I’d rather die standing than live kneeling.” If these cars could talk, then I think they’d agree with that sentiment. That they’d rather crash while being raced to the limit than sit in a garage collecting dust, never moving again.
These cars may be nice to look at in a museum but that is not what they were built for. These cars are a lot less forgiving when things go wrong which it a testament to the skills drivers had when they were being raced at speeds much faster than in this race.
These cars are doing what they were built to do which is fantastic.
