    It's always heartwarming to see old iconic race car drivers reunite with their cars for one last drive. Really nice to see.

    Thank you for letting us hear the sounds of that glorious Cosworth engine. Most of these types of videos insist on talking over or playing music over the engine song. So again, thank you.

      Lotus, BRM, Matra, Brabham all had one as well. Cosworth built their own which was a real horror and never raced. 4wd didn't really work in f1 and was abandoned by 1970.

    Golden and at the same time darkest era of F1: R.i.P. Lorenzo Bandini, Jim Clark, Jo Schlesser, Piers Courage, Jochen Rindt, Jo Siffert, Bruce McLaren, Pedro Rodriguez, Roger Williamson, Francois Cevert, Peter Revson, Tom Pryce, Ronny Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Rolf Stommelen and all those fearless drivers who paid the ultimate price for doing what they loved most and was incredibly dangerous at a time when racing was really racing - no chicanes.

I'm not old enough to say i saw him race this car but as a part time racer and enthusiast i have watched alot of the old races on video and i saw Derek racing it. After 48 years this event should have bern better advertised. It looked like bot many people were there.

    Please Mclaren, paint your F1 cars with this color and livery, stand out from the crowd. Start making a brand image based on this beautiful color. Be like Ferrari, whatever sponsors they have, they all understand the red color IS ferrari.
    So be Mclaren, be beautiful, be iconic.
