Steve was absolutely dialled in on the last lap with that sweet overtake and then really giving it the stick. Glorious oversteer, engine note and raw power!
@@adamwake1915 Comparatively speaking, Steve was a lot more dialled in once his tyres warmed and was clearly the fastest out there. He wasn’t missing any apexes man. That’s an MP4/1 at Brands Hatch and it was obvious that the car was a handful at that track until he finally got the temperatures up into the operating window. When up to speed, he nailed all of the apexes (bar the final right hander leading onto the start/finish straight) as he preferred the wide line entry to help carry his speed down the stretch. The only times he wasn’t on the optimal racing line was when duelling with other cars and becoming unsighted, or whilst the cars are all entering the same corner together.
@@OddJobFix The black car he overtook beforehand did not let him by at all … conversely, he fought him all the way and we got to see a good strategic battle in order to get past him cleanly.

But understand, Ayrton Senna never drove this car. The MP4/1 was only in service 1981-83. Senna began his F1 career the next season, and in fact didn't drive a McLaren at all until 1988, when he stepped into the legendary MP4/4.
@@alduin2418 its probably because of how insane modern f1 technology is,like as much as people hate the v6 turbo,its 50% thermal efficiency is nothing to scoff at.(iirc regular carsget like 20%) now imagine that with more knowledge in downforce, and tires material and you got yourself something that barely wamted to fight you,sure the cars dosent have regular driver aids(abs and tc) and they're rwd iirc. but those were almost unnoticeable just because of how good everything else is.
This is driving!!! Traction control = right foot, clutch = left foot, shifting with gear shift and no help from electronics or telemetry or whatsoever, it's all the driver and his talent to push the car to his limit, this is how it should be done! Great respect for these drivers and to Steve for his wonderful run
Well.. Honestly I partially agree with you. I'd leave the modern shifting but I would remove some radio things and just let the driver comunicate with boxes for when he needs to change tyres. I'd remove every help for the start and traction control. They totally removed the human aspect and looks like engineers formula. 🤮
@@brick4522 Ye I know, they might reduce the actual traction control to lower levels just for safety reasons also because if we consider that every circuit it's very safer now than in the past, even in the case a driver loses the car, he'll survive 99% of the times. Actual cars look like a fun train to drive.
he is doing lap times of 1m23s to 1m24s. The fastest lap in the 1982 race had been a 1m13s by Brian Henton, pole position time was a 1m9,5s by Keke Rosberg.
Massive respect to anyone who takes one of these beasts by the horns and makes it angry. It is scary enough just to watch, I can't imagine the bravery required to put one's faith in such a brutal machine. Massive respect to Steve Hartley. Amazing driving and fantastic overtaking. You really fought hard for that last one.
@@shona5512 what I’m assuming they are referring to is because thy have ground effect and a wide wheelbase, but that I don’t think makes them “easy to drive”
To be completely honest I initially thought they were just going to drive around a bit to show off the cars, once I realized they were lining up for a flying start to actually race I had the biggest smile on my face.
Knowing the significance of the cars they were in, I was shocked also to see the aggressive passing attempts. It looked like they were on the limit of the tires as well. Great to see.

Why do open cockpit cars' tachs always seem to tick like clocks? Is it just a camera illusion or something? I've seen this with just about every open cockpit car video.
Yeah, it looks fun, but there are cons as well. It's cambox I think - it's pretty unreliable, video and audio quality are mediocre at best (haven't tried last generation though), and the worst - they are banned in most series.
Search for sennas best lap at Mónaco. This same car, but the real thing. Pushed to the limit. More Power, engine lasting some quali laps on saturday, or one race on sunday.
Brilliant camera position. Closest I've ever felt to actually driving the thing. Great to see him take off at the end after he overtook the Williams and didn't have to worry about rear-ending the classic any more.
It’s everything about it. His head shaking like he’s having a seizure, countersteering almost every corner, that noise oh, like something out of a movie! Bloody amazing, big balls mr Hartley!

Great Great Drive and great pass in the end. You were so so great in the corners. This is one of my favorite courses on the tour. I loved this and I was with you the whole way man. Rock On Steve Hartley.
Just plain awesome. Driven this track a fair few times down the years ...alas never in anything as potent as these raging bulls. My fav era of racing by far. The roar of of a DFV or Ferrari flat 12 on full chat is something to savor. Great driving and great to see the Brands GP circuit in use.
This is a vacuum cleaner for your mind. For 15 minutes your mind will be clear of any and all thoughts - useful if you were to be angry, upset, in despair or grieving - as in a little mental break from all of those emotions. I'm so bookmarking this for when any of those emotions shows up and I need a surefire break to catch my breath... Such great driving and video! Total awesomeness!
Interesting though that he was content to be cautious behind the Williams, until the Tyrrell got past the Williams following him - then as soon as the Tyrrell had a nose down the inside at Druids, he carried WAY more speed next through Hawthorns and through Paddock Hill, leading up to the eventual overtake, than on previous laps - there was a notable urgency that lap after being caught by the 012; fascinating to see.
That was really well done...took his time, looking for the weak entry or exit, and then pouncing when he had the chance to pull it off...I had the chance to go to a Master's Grand Prix weekend at Brands a couple of years ago, and hearing the those cars screaming around that wonderful track really brought the childhood memories back...Gorgeous cars, and beautiful sounds...Aaah, those were the days...
I know these cars aren’t very safe but they are incredible. Far more interesting than today’s F1 cars. I wish F1 would run a classic series. This is great to see.
It wasn’t supposed to be safe and it still shouldn’t be! Anyway, these guys are just cruising around. If they get above 9 grand I’d be surprised. Still nice to see the Williams/ McLaren battle!
@@gustavrsh The drivers are careful with these cars. Before Senna died drivers were considered expendable. The drivers feet were basically n the front bulkhead. I think it was Mario that said that at the first race drivers meeting you looked to your left and to your right and by the end of the season one of you would be dead.
@@benakravishankar1003 I'm not against todays F1 cars as they are beasts for sure and still require a massive amount of skill, but no matter what, the sounds of the past were loud but were amazing. I'm sure the peeps who said they we're to loud would prefer them to the now quiet cars of today! Lol
Driving these cars alone is insane, doing that on a raceway, with dogged competitors, for more than 1 hour, even when raining, several times a racing weekend, several times a year, for several years, is just out of any scale I can imagine.
No half measures in this! Steve Hartley and the guy ahead in the Williams having a great duel. Interesting to see which corners he was gaining and losing. Fantastic cars, sound and driving!
I remember racing a kart on a long track for the first (and only) time 20+ years ago, this is carting x100, absolutely fantastic to watch but something you absolutely need to have proper talent and a decently long time on the track through the range of racing cars. I settle for coming down steep descents on a bicycle for my high speed kicks!
Oh man, I would love to drive an Mp4. Really surprised me that they were racing them so hard though considering the cost if you pranged one. Great to see.
@@xavier4519 You can improve safety without changing the looks. You could have Kevlar gas tanks, tire tethers, hand devices, etc without changing how the cars look or sound. The halo would be the only thing missing, but considering how people would have to be more careful if no halo was added, the safety would balance out.
The mindset of the drivers is certainly a different one than in a competitive race, but don't be mistaken mate. You can see him counter-steer lots of times in corners, he is driving the thing flat out. The perceived velocity is deceiving, they are going hella fast. [edit:] Also, you might wanna watch more than just the pace car lap... lol
The McLaren MP4/1 (initially known as the MP4) was a Formula One racing car produced by the McLaren team. It was used during the 1981, 1982 and 1983 seasons. It was the first Formula One car to use a monocoque chassis wholly manufactured from carbon fibre composite, a concept which is now ubiquitous. The chassis was designed by John Barnard, Steve Nichols and Alan Jenkins, with the car being powered by a Cosworth DFY engine. The MP4 was the first car to be built following the merger of the McLaren team and Ron Dennis' Project 4 Formula 2 team; its designation was short for "Marlboro Project 4". From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Excellent job of sticking to him and learning his weak spots, where you could get deeper into the corner and brake later. After that you could clearly see it was just a matter of time before he leaned on his tires to hard and they started to give up or he made a mistake and you pounced. Great Job. !
The camera shake and distorted sound give a very visceral sense of the physical strain and mental stress that drivers have to contend with. This is the most realistic experience I've yet seen. I wonder if digital simulators (i.e. racing software) will (or has already) incorporated/simulated such perceptual effects in order to heighten the realism of the experience, and the authenticity of the contest.
Its_only_ Karma not really, these drivers here, atleast from what i can see, arent that experienced or they simply dont want or cant push. You can even see that on the warm up lap, they way he tries to warm up the tyres... Although it gets much better and faster the later laps i have to say that
A steering wheel a gear stick and a speedo, that’s as technical these cars needed to be to be just brilliant to watch and hear, not steering wheel with more buttons to push than the space shuttle
I can't even imagine the level of adrenaline from an experience like this. It truly looks terrifying from the POV. So much raw power.

It doesnt look terrifying it looks fun.

@@rudyramos5911 hahaha True... but how can u comparate senna with a single mortal? oh god, how i miss Ayrton...
yeah way off the apex in the fast parts
Thats just a general summary of the middle days of Grand Prix racing lol
Great cars and watching this makes me wish that how brilliant it would be if F1 was run at brands hatch once again, a great circuit
The McLaren MP4/1 (initially known as the MP4) was a Formula One racing car produced by the McLaren team. It was used during the 1981, 1982 and 1983 seasons. It was the first Formula One car to use a monocoque chassis wholly manufactured from carbon fibre composite, a concept which is now ubiquitous.
The chassis was designed by John Barnard, Steve Nichols and Alan Jenkins, with the car being powered by a Cosworth DFY engine.
The MP4 was the first car to be built following the merger of the McLaren team and Ron Dennis' Project 4 Formula 2 team; its designation was short for "Marlboro Project 4".

that ford cosworth V8 sounds so good.
AMAZING VIDEO!!! My forearms started to hurt by the end😂
El único gran experto en conducir ese McLaren era, es, y seguirá siendo, su excelencia 🇧🇷Ayrton Senna DaSilva🇧🇷👌
No senor, John Watson, Niki Lauda, Alain Prost condujeron un MP4 y eran brillantes pilotos tambien.
Ayrton era magico
Senna no condujo ese McLaren XD
Senna he conducido el MP4/4
@@agoradacerto MP4/4 | MP4/5 | MP4/6 | MP4/7 e MP4/8 senna pilotou todos esses
One of my favorite track where u feel u can always achieve better lap times everytime u try, makes u wanna try again, again, and again..
That was absolutely brilliant! thanks 👍
Nice drive. Was waiting for the pass on the Leyland sponsored rig. Well done nice car control too. Saw it step out few times but you got it back.
It's a Williams....
Oh ok. Thanks. Wasn’t sure of the manufacturer but thought it had Leyland on side (sponsors logo maybe)
That engine noise is just 👌
Wow that was bloody awesome. Amazing camera angle!
Excellent job of sticking to him and learning his weak spots, where you could get deeper into the corner and brake later. After that you could clearly see it was just a matter of time before he leaned on his tires to hard and they started to give up or he made a mistake and you pounced. Great Job. !
this is awesome
The amount of mechanical grip those things had was just insane
The camera shake and distorted sound give a very visceral sense of the physical strain and mental stress that drivers have to contend with. This is the most realistic experience I've yet seen. I wonder if digital simulators (i.e. racing software) will (or has already) incorporated/simulated such perceptual effects in order to heighten the realism of the experience, and the authenticity of the contest.
Wowww!!!! Pretty ride! Your car really blast, man! And you did everything rigth. Congrats! I wish be driving on your cockpit. Pure adrenaline!
The leader really dropped the hammer on you guys . . 🏁
Clean air
Its_only_ Karma not really, these drivers here, atleast from what i can see, arent that experienced or they simply dont want or cant push. You can even see that on the warm up lap, they way he tries to warm up the tyres...
Although it gets much better and faster the later laps i have to say that
That Tyrrell is a couple of years newer than the McLaren, Lotus or Williams FW08.
Exactly. That's what happens when there's 1 a class driver and a field of b and c class drivers.
A steering wheel a gear stick and a speedo, that’s as technical these cars needed to be to be just brilliant to watch and hear, not steering wheel with more buttons to push than the space shuttle
That was a beautiful and well earned pass for first. Well done!
Ahhh that was nice! Reminds me of my racing days - this was my second fav track - Mosport Canada being my first. Fun trip - thanks :)
that's raw af, love it
Ficou top essa filmagem, da pra ter uma noção do que é estar em um carro de corrida de verdade slc top de mais.
E esse é o modelo que o senna pilotava
@@roboterror6366 não, essa é a MP4/1 de 81 a 83, Senna começou na Mclaren com a MP4/4
so nice to see how analog days were fun to watch, not much dirty air, dirty drivers, just pure racing, well done gents
Amazing footage! Thanks for sharing! I hope to drive one of these someday, just once! :D
Apart from being deaf now, I loved watching this masterpiece
What? Did you say something? Can't hear you.
@@cinegraphics 😐🤨
I wonder why there is so much wind noise.
@@juliaset751 huh yeah me too
