There is also a degree of bravery here. Because even if they are not taking risks, they are not going much slower than when those cars were racing for real. And can you imagine crashing in one of those? The same danger as then...
Completely agree, however at what extent was it more dangerous tham this? Track safety in general is a big plus, but i cant wrap my head around on how much harder can this cars be driven in those times.
@@ejsadlt I agree, I really don’t believe drivers back then were pushing the car at 100% all the time. You look at the best drivers of the era, Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart etc, they were all known for not taking unnecessary risk.
Highlite of the video was at 9:18 where the other car locks up, gets passed going into the turn and then comes right back on the exit with a very distinct shot across the bow. Great racing! The driver here was a little hesitant at first to go flat at Eau Rouge at first, but he got into it later.
wow I honestly enjoyed those 15 minutes watching and predicting who would come out on top. Big smile in the last minute when you overtook him 50 meters before the start finish line
Most rev counters in the 60s were like that, very sticky and flicky. They also had a tell tale needle which stuck at the max revs you had used, so the mechanics could see if you'd exceeded the rev limit you'd been given. 1000cc F3 was probably my favourite ever class. It was full of mature drivers who paid for their racing from their own earnings, not like todays grids of teen-agers fresh out of karting, all paid for by their well heeled fathers. In the 60s many families were reluctant to contribute because racing was so dangerous.
Excellent Video and smooth driving. I enjoyed watching your fight with the other Car who was a bit faster approaching the corners, but overbraking nearly every time. And you outaccelerated him nearly every time out of the corners. Your style is much smoother. Please send more. Regards Harry
I would say he is rather twitchy on the steering and is too heavy on the throttle out of many corners, seen by him oversteering and losing momentum several times throughout the race.
The other driver was much slower in the turns, locking up numerous times, but would always make it up on the straights. Very frustrating to race someone like that.
@@onorevolenullazzo4210 he's absolutely right. Not necessary to be Senna to see many errors and hesitating he does at each lap. Good and safe driving but not pro driving.
yeah, looks like he had understeer but the real problem was that he wasnt using the whole track to attack the apex properly. It's crucial to get a decent La source and Eau Rouge and then overtake at Kemmel than try to overtake at La source and mess the Kemmel straight. I think you can do Blanchimont at full throttle if you use the whole track too
Wow, this driver has a VERY good sector 2 and 3! Eau Rogue and Radion must be extremely scary in one of these! That was the only place where the others were a bit faster! Great racing!
He lets everyone past him on the straight because he cant do that corner preceding it. He has the faster car but cant drive it. He should have won the race, if just not for that corner.
lovely video, so frustrating to see the greediness going into la source as it compromised the lap all the way past eau rouge to the les combes chicaine.
That was awesome! This is how racing should be. No anti lock brakes, no traction control, no DRS fake overtakes which you are not even allowed to defend against, no downforce but still some slipstreaming. And the mutual respect between racers. I was on the edge of my seat for 15 minutes. And the final sprint to the finish line was the icing on the cake. Did he make it before the line?
It's an old F3 car, not exactly unobtainable. He either owns it himself or the owner has him drive it which for an F3 car is less likely. Very affordable if you have any money at all, nowhere near the value of an F1 car. Example, a completely restored rolling chassis Chevron B17 offered right now for £60K, I've seen them for far less.
Great vid enjoyed! Nice Cars and Always great track! Funny driving ... Beautiful line crossing at la source! No offense... Possibile too long hi gears and less acceleration respect the others? - see from eau rouge to les combes - In the mixed part car seems more performing and Quick.
Always a good deal of slipstreaming especially on tracks like this.They used the Ford 997 Anglia engine and could pull 10 k. Rather vulnerable in those tight cockpits. At Snetterton on the old circuit you could hear them on the Norwich Straight at full revs with the sound almost pulsing with resonance.
@@Loveitdownunder Thanks for the message. My brother who was 10 years older than me (I am 70 now) used to take me to Snetterton and Brands.

Have you seen Walkinshaw in the clip of him in the XJS .Saw him in a GRD when he was testing at Snetterton.
As a motorsport fan of about 45 years I loved those 15 mins of film! Great racing 👍

The risk is a little bit less mainly because of the track safety features the track has modern barriers multiple run off areas sandpits etc
Track safety is miles better though; Great marshalls, medical professionals are all at hand now.
exactly, unless you are someone like me who has innate immortality you could be in real trouble.

Loved it

I really enjoy how respectful you all are.
thats because with these cars, if you aren't... you're quite likely to be injured and not race again
@@ikaros4203 I hate anime

The quality of the image is simply amazing. Not even have to talk about the cars 😍
What a gem, a blast from the past! Great video, awesome racing!

What a blast! I really enjoyed the drive, thank you 👊🏼🤠
This looks so fun, the way you can play on the edge of traction. Thanks for posting!
Really nice race to see. Thanks a lot for sharing
I’m so used to seeing F1 and GT3 cars blast through eau rouge and radion that this feels slow.
Excellent Video and smooth driving.

Yes, the way he feels the steering at turn in with little wiggle

Great racing, i really enjoyed the vibrating metal sound on downshifts, like a bicycle bell, "tring tring! coming through'.
What a beautiful track.
Amazing Fight man!
Great respect, you are
true gentelman driver.
Excellent racing and sounds! Maybe starting the La source a bit more from the left would have helped a little up to the Eau Rouge and Kemmel strait :)

Buenísimo!! Gran lucha!! y Grande Spa!! Saludos!!
Fantastic car. Looks so smooth
Nice footage, you can see the tachometer shaft needs replacing or lubrication, the needle changes position abruptly.
Wow, this driver has a VERY good sector 2 and 3! Eau Rogue and Radion must be extremely scary in one of these! That was the only place where the others were a bit faster! Great racing!
Always a joy to watch your uploads keep em' comming.
Bloody legendary
He messes up that corner coming onto the straight every time

Simply the greatest track on earth!
no,no,no........
Cool video I can see where he is losing time with slow throttle response .
I could not drive that like that man.. I would be pushing so much .
Manual gears on the side ...!!! Good old time....!!!
Not a brilliant drive but really nice to watch !
Thank you for the share! 🙌🙌
The RPM dial just jumping all over the place killed me
I would love to race these!

Awesome, love it 🤘👍👌👋
This looks fun af
Great race!
You are being gentle with that car
Enjoyed it all.
And I always thought my Rev counter on Assetto Corsa was broken XD
That's pretty cool.
Why is he not using the full width of the track on entry and exit to carry more speed?
Not bad man :) You got your fundamentals down, just need to practice focusing on your line a little more.
Hope you're still driving and doing well!
bloody hell, they sound good and they look like they can race but my goodness would i not want to be inside of it if things were to go wrong
better in the twisted section, less powerful on straights...great driving
Hrat vid! Were you wearing a Bell Star Classic helmet? On par with the car....
Tires sure get greasy after a couple laps.
The car in front of you what Is loosing during down shift? Gasoline?
...these cars
I don't know you nor have i seen one of your videos, but how did you manage to drive one of those ??

great !!!!
Why the jumping on the tach, or is that just some video quirk?
First "digitanalog" clocks I've ever seen
Great vid enjoyed! Nice Cars and Always great track! Funny driving ... Beautiful line crossing at la source! No offense... Possibile too long hi gears and less acceleration respect the others? - see from eau rouge to les combes - In the mixed part car seems more performing and Quick.
what a fight ! I like 9' 17'' / 9' 25!!!!
Beautiful driving
Love watching 8k revs at 12 o'clock on a chrono tach. Classic!.
Lift off for Eau Rouge?
But you're the one having fun out there. ;-)
Incredible experience
Always a good deal of slipstreaming especially on tracks like this.They used the Ford 997 Anglia engine and could pull 10 k. Rather vulnerable in those tight cockpits. At Snetterton on the old circuit you could hear them on the Norwich Straight at full revs with the sound almost pulsing with resonance.

thought this was gameplay footage for a second. :D real stuff is okay but... :p
super!!!!!!
If it wasn't for the first and last corners you would have won that race 😁
the Tecno has a better engine but he locks his wheels under braking...
I know every turn from playing asseto corsa 💀
9:19 😱😱😰😰
wow
Radillon must of been hard cus of mid engine and all the traction you can access so quickly
Looks like some formula fords in there?
Mid 60's F1.....
schlöw
This guy loses time by defending against nobody. Silly
..
N JHU
AHAHAHAH ridicolous......
Bad driving!
if this was GT7 you would have crashed me, i would loose 7 places and my DR would go down, that's why real racing is easier
excellent video but not much a racer. have no lines or skills
Top speeds obtained?
