- High quality 70mm footage of the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix.
Part of the 1962 German documentary Flying Clipper aka Mediterranean Holiday - available on 4k UHD Blu-Ray: www.amazon.de/Flying-Clipper-... - Ігри
You can tell its really old footage when you see cars passing each other at Monaco.
Nomadski Oof roasted
@Sam Dianto True. As long as F1 cars are big and bloated it will be this way. Just look how small they were in the 90s
ayyyyy
Hahahaha
@@OctavioVLT The F1 cars were wider in 1992 than they are today.
This is gotta be the best 1960s footage I've ever seen
The movie Grand Prix of 1966 also has great shots. Seems that the real Monaco GP footage of that year was used in the movie. But the Monza shots are the best.
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) is still gonna keep looking better even when the 8K release happens.
Analog cameras were insane
@@IStMl and let's just say a big, big thank-you to director's throughout the years that elected to use 70mm film specifically during the film years, and an even bigger-er thank-you to the ones in the digital age that continued to use it, because their work can continue to be up-scaled as our technology improves!
The power of film is amazing. A film footage from 50 years ago can be made into 4k footage today. What also amazed me is the shots filmed from the back of a car.
Oh so THIS is where Gran Turismo gets it's tire squeal sound effect
LMFAO
No downforce on the cars just the grip of the tyres.

You can tell its really old footage.
- cars going 3-wide
- ppl on track
- no walls
- hay bales
- Unprotected ppl at the sidelines
- not alot boats
I could tell it's old from the title alone! 😂

this is 1962, who cares about safety
Lol, people still do that in rally racing

That's how it would probably be today if the lawyers weren't involved and people still understood what danger was and knew what living was also.

Ah. The old Monaco Mediterranean Holiday clip. Love a film shot in 70mm.
This film is very ahead of its time for 1962.
Andy murday films were always good, the encoding programmes were just terrible
@@y0Special film can be accurate down to the molecule if done correctly.
@Mic Krout Most molecules are a hundred to a thousand times smaller than the wavelength of visible light, so "accurate to the molecule" is a bit of a funny thing to say in the context of optics :-)
@@quaco24 film is reactive to light, the wavelengths of the molecules change. No it's not. You are replicating the color on a molecular level rather than a pixel which is huge.
@@dylanmccallister1888 I think I see what you are trying to say now, in that the maximum resolution of film is limited by the approximate size of dye molecules on film, as opposed to the size of pixels on a detector, which are considerably larger. That is indeed true. From your original post it appeared as though you were suggesting that using film it is possible to render an image of the object that is accurate to a molecular level (i.e. a truthful depiction down to individual molecules of the subject matter). This is impossible, because the ultimate resolving power of most optical imaging methods is limited by the wavelength of the light that is being used to image. I am not sure what you mean by "wavelengths of the molecules" - molecules do not have wavelengths in the conventional sense, photons do.

We need more historical footage like this. Crazy how something like this can take you back in time. I never lived through the 60s but my parents did and it's a treat to see the world they lived in. Also makes you think of what the future may hold. The world has changed so much

I love how many of the shots show the actual main straight and its elevation, as well as the hairpin and how downhill it goes in one sharp turn. Cameras are placed at quite appropriate positions.
This is the sharpest, clearest footage ever seen from a 1960s race - truly amazing. And can you imagine peeps just standing on sidewalk right at apex of corner while Hambone and Vittles go by?! Lol
35 mm film can be scanned to 4K easily. If this is really captured on 70 mm negative, then we don't have the digital equivalent for this format even today. It could be 8K video with insane dynamic range. The UA-cam compression doesn't do the justice.
The shift to digital in the '90s and '00s is the reason people remember videos from that era to have incredibly shitty quality.
But digital has just caught up with film from the '60s...
tv 8k exist today, it cost just +10000$...
@@mikamika9781 So the beginning of the digital videos were a regression in fliming?
@@pedroaugustoparreiras4755 Good question. I would say yes and no... Yes because the quality at the beginning is really bad and No because if they
chose the digital in 90, it's maybe for a good reason i think.
But fortunately the quality has greatly improved today
Digital has better colour, dynamic range, contrast, etc.. Film was sharp, but extremely cost inefficient compared to digital is now.
@@snewl5324 Those advantages belong to film. If anything, film isn't exactly as sharp as digital. Not sure how you managed to get them all wrong.
This photography is GORGEOUS. This vintage stuff warms my heart.
It's amazing that the track used to just go under a helicopter pad and now it goes under a massive hotel complex and audatorium.
That appears to be a trap shooting range that's just being used as a helicopter pad for the event.

@@PianoBlackTrimRep. thats debateable
@@PianoBlackTrimRep. Though 70mm is still better than 8K, digital will catch up eventually
Right, need to clear something up. We appear to have quite a few young ones saying they can't believe how good the quality is for 1962. This was shot on 70mm film. Film is far superior to digital HD. As an example, 35mm film has a resolution equivalent to 4K today. 35mm IMAX film has a resolution equivalent to 6K and 70mm film has a resolution equivalent to 12K. Digital HD is not the best we've ever had. It is not an 'upgrade' from film with regards to quality. The only thing that has got better since then are the screen we play the footage on, so our domestic flat screens today are better than the smaller domestic CRT screens we had. The main reason we moved to digital was storage. We can store a lot more digital footage on hard drives where as film, takes up a lot of space and requires certain conditions for it to last, but even then, it will degrade over time. Making copies of film degrades with each copy, but digital can retain the quality no matter how many copies are made.
millenials think the world was prehistoric until about 1980
I really hate to be this guy and I appreciate you spreading the love for 70mm. You're right this looks so beautiful due to the size of film stock it was shot in, rather than the typical documentary footage of the era shot at 16mm. But your point that "Film is far superior to digital HD" is inherently not true with modern post-pipelines. The resolution and color replication of this film stock is very achievable with digital cinema cameras. From resolution to color replication. You're not wrong that 70mm or 65mm has a scanned resolution higher than that of digital film cameras natively, but post productions pipelines can effectively upscale to these resolution with no perceivable loss. A fascinating and beautiful demo was done by cinematographer Steve Yedlin (he shot The Last Yedi, Knives Out, Looper, ect.) to display this very fact, we can not distinguish the differences in film vs digital in the modern era if the proper post-production technic is applied. Even if the native resolution is greater with film, our viewing distance (how far we sit from the screen) and the resolutions of our viewing monitors (most commonly a 1080p computer panel or 4k TV) negate much of the original capture resolution, not to mention the probably dozens of deliverable exports this video went through. Here is the link! www.yedlin.net/ResDemo/ResDemoPt1.html . In this demo he side be side compares all major film cameras (IMAX, to 65mm, to 35mm) to modern digital cameras (RED, Arri, Sony, ect.) The only reason I'm making a point to type this comment out is because of Yedlin's thesis, and that cameras are a tool to achieve a goal, film should not be held on a throne to digital cameras. If anyone reading this is interested in cinema camera technology I highly recommend his blog "Nerdy Film Tech Stuff", were he goes into incredibly detail about the technology that goes into modern filmmaking.
@@connorburns4775 I know digital it more than capable of achieving such amazing footage, but I'm old school and the fact film can achieve as good as digital is where I'm coming from. It's common amongst the some to assume film was just a lower standard of medium and that digital, the modern mediums are just all round better. Film was, is as good and can better. That's what I'm saying. For example, in response to comments like 'how could they get modern quality on old film?' I think it's superior in some applications. Depends on what you're trying to achieve I guess. Appreciate your comment though 👍Share the knowledge 😀
Im 15 and I actually think this is possible since light is being captured by film and is not determined by pixels so basically lines would look cleaner on film
@@joshuapeligrino You're not wrong! Film and film grain emulation is a highly debated topic in camera technology. The light is captured in 2 fundementally different ways. But I wouldn't say the lines are "cleaner" but have a different look. Modern digital cameras have incredibly high photosite counts, that with the right software and know-how they can accomplish pretty much any look, including indistinguishably accurate natural film grain. Film grain vs. film grain emulation is a case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder.
Still has better cinematography than 50% of today's videos.
This footage is flat out amazing! The clarity, the different points of view..wow! What a real racing gem we have here.
Thank you for uploading. This is simply some of the most mesmerizing Grand Prix footage I've ever seen. Stunning, amazing.
Probably the best clip of Monaco from any period that I've ever seen. The track seems so wide! The boats in the harbor are totally different. This is Formula 1 as I remember it as a boy. I still prefer this racing to 2019. Thank you for putting this up for our viewing pleasure.
I agree. My dad worked for Dan Gurney starting in either 1965 or 1966. Times were vastly different back then. On one hand, I wish I had lived back then, but on the other hand, I do like having technology like the internet at my fingertips.

Just another reminder, modernity has ruined everything.
This is superb. What F1 was before it became a “Circus”. Thanks for the beautiful film!
I'm so used to grainy 60s footage that seeing 60s HD footage is so surreal. I have to keep reminding myself that this is what people actually saw back then.
I know right? I'm struggling to comprehend that people in the 60s didn't see the world in blurry , shaky, grainy colors haha
This is pure gold!
This is the year I bought my 1959 MGA and patterned my driving skills onthese guys.... I am now 77-year-old great-grandmother, and still kickin’.
Wow... where has this been hiding! Saw my first GP at Glen in '61... been waiting for such quality film work since then!!!! Totally cool historic gem.
I saw my first in 1967 at The Glen, what a difference today.
DLMinton the greatest years of F-1 were the 60’s-70’s. Other than being extremely dangerous and too many deaths.Innovation and great drivers were the norm. The drivers were in control and slid their cars all around the track,no fancy electronic controls and computers.
fw1421 There are none today either.
It's too bad that Watkins Glen isn't seeing any open-wheel racing since IndyCar pulled out of their GP at the Glen. Kinda sad 😕

Monoco looks really beautiful then. The harbour isn't as busy as it it today with all the billion £ yachts. Not that I'd know anything since I only see it on TV.
It was a lot different even only 20 years ago, things recently have got a lot bigger and a lot flasher.
I do tours in Monaco three times a week, and even with all the billion € yachts Monaco is still beautiful.
@@thelobsterperson exactly, it's just the nostalgia (even though I wasn't there) that makes me a bit sad. When I visited this summer most of the track was similar to this version except for the yachts and the longer tunnel
Aside from the outstanding film quality and placement of the cameras, the smoothness of the footage from the helicopter view was amazing; as "steadycam" technology, to remove the shakiness and vibration when using the movie camera, was still many years away.
I could tell this was really old by the fact that it says it in the title
Most amazing images I ever seen of Monaco GP. Thanks for sharing.
FAKE
it stops giving off that "old world far away" vibe when you add color and quality to it
i dissagree. this circuit looks ridiculusly dangerous. you can crash into any solid wall and even run off to the water. THERE ARE PPL AT THE ACTIVE RACETRACK.
lionemessi ?
m3me the lack of safety measures. gives me the old far far away vibe. thats what i mean dog
lionemessi ye but I think he means that everything else looks like today. Like we get a feeling that when we watch something in black and white and poor quality we feel as if it’s another planet or a time that never we could imagine would exist
evrything was so fancy back then
The quality is better than in 2018. I mean it, the colours the dges, the feeling of the image is just superb.
👍
So was the racing
This is great footage, but you can tell is old film. It’s full of film grain and colors aren’t that accurate. I know part of the reason for this is UA-cam’s compression, but nowadays’ 4K digital broadcasts are amazing.
70mm film has far superior resolution to almost anything available today, 10-13k equivalent with better colours.
@@splashstrike but the motion blur is pretty heavy you have to admit
This footage is just incredible - quality wise - the detail is just breathtaking - one feels like they’re there. Mighty impressive and great to see. 1962 the year of my birth - and the year Graham Hill won the driver’s title - ironic considering I knew him ! He was an amazing guy - absolute gentleman and just so kind to me - I will always love him dearly. Thank you for this great footage from the famous Monaco Grand Prix. Well worth watching. Rxx
Wait. You mean this isn't a rendered animation with a vintage filter on it? Okay whoa.
look at the escape lane, near the chicane....open/close/open/close....
Could be one of the best videos I've watched on UA-cam.
unlike F1 of today, they actually made passes in the race under green and not in the pits. amazing!!!!
THere was a greater difference in the cars back then. Today's cars of the top ten are usually only separated by less than a second. Back then, the differences in handling and straight line speed were much greater. You would see one car easily pull away from others on a straight, only to slow waaaaaay down and then be re-passed through the curves by the car he just passed. Traction was very varied, too.
well unlike the F1 of today the competition and difference between cars was pretty much a joke, just like safety.
The cars were narrower from wheel to wheel in those days, which allowed for passing on a narrow course like Monaco. Now they take up too much space for that.
This was just 15 years from World War II and Monaco looks so slick and modern. Hats off!
17, but you are right
its such a shame we have no footage of f1 during the 70s, 80s and even 90s with quality like this. 70mm (And analog cameras in general) was amazing
why we don't?
4:33 that helicopter shot looks straight out of a 2019 film. My only conclusion is that this whole production is proof time travel exists.
Pretty sure it is an airplane, not a helicopter, the way it banks is kinda a giveaway. I agree though, amazing stuff!
@@scottthewaterwarrior at 4:41 how it banks looks very helicopter like
@@bigdawg2246 I think your right, at 4:59 you can even see a parked helicopter. I just didn't think helicopters saw much civilian usage in the early 60's. It's still pulling some pretty extreme angles for a chopper though.
@@scottthewaterwarrior They've been using helicopters for overhead race footage of F1 in the 1960's. This is nothing new in the 1960's. Although the film that they used is in black and white, and probably a 16mm film format. This example here is shot in 35mm or 65/70mm film. But I doubt that helicopter scene is shot in 65/70mm, for the camera is probably too heavy and too big to use in the helicopter.
It look uncannily like the kind of fly-by you'd get in a video game.
Also after the race started, it is mainly practise footage. for example car nr 46 at 5:27 is Jo siffert who didn't qualify.
Fair point, but does that really matter when it looks so beautiful.
Yeah because Im sure they couldnt have recorded this footage on the road car during the race !
You are right. Jo Siffert didn't qualify for the race.
Note that the start is not F1 start but Formula junior start
Really good quality footage coming from 1962. Props to the uploader.
Wow... Incredible footage. The video quality is crazy good. Seeing no barriers and these car go!!! Great upload. Thanks
Fun Fact: The driver that spun at the 3:20 mark isn't Phil Hill as mentioned by the narrator. Instead, that's 'Wild' Willy Mairesse.
Great point. Phil was actually the guy that snuck past him (the 36 car), and ended up finishing the race in second. True Legend.
It isn't either 1:22 Jack Brabham (nr 14) but Bruce McLaren.
True! The race winner.
You have your facts! How do you know that?
It sounds like the narrator is Burl Ives. He also says Jack "Bartram" at the beginning.

the fact that this exists is simply amazing.
This is awesome footage, thank you so much for sharing it! It brings back many fond memories of strolling around Monaco back in 2001 - 2004. I didn't live there, just worked on a cruise ship and stopped there regularly overnight. Good times.
Wow stunning! The lack of safety is breathtaking
El Casho That's why modern F1 will never be as enjoyable as those old races !
Peoples like it or not but danger is what made F1 atractive so when you totaly take danger out the equation F1 (read motorsport ) looses all it's taste .
Alb 92 It's the real dilemma isn't it? We want the cars to be fast (granted they are faster now than they were then) and we want to see the drivers do unbelievable and dangerous stunts, but we don't want to see them killed.

It is remarkable the lack of concern for safety for the drivers and the spectators. (The big guy with the gold shirt on the outside of the turn at, I think, Casino Square was really asking for it.) Also, the harbor seems almost empty compared with today, when several hundred yachts cram in for the race.
Those cars were not as powerfull and fast as todays car so..
Jon Petter; In 1955 a Mercedes race car went into the crowd at Le Mans and killed a few dozen spectators. It wasn't as powerful and fast as the race cars in this video were in 1962 at Monaco.
It's 1962, a generation before, Europe killed tens of millions of mostly young men. There just wasn't the population for crowding.

Those engines put out about 1/5 of the power of today's F1 engines. Yet they sound about 50 times better...to me anyway.
Totally agree. The sound is just amazing. But I don't think it's 1/5. More like 1/3
EnclaveSoldier - actually, it is about 1/5. The Climax motor in the back of the race winner (in this video) - Bruce McLaren - put out only about 186 hp, according to wikipedia.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coventry_Climax#F1_engines
This year in F1, the engines are apparently set to cross 1,000 horsepower (and are already well past 900 hp).
www.grandprix.com.au/fan-zone/news/f1-engines-set-hit-1000-bhp#
Just goes to show that motor sound quality has little to do with power output.
Today's F1 engines have MGU-H which is pretty cool technically, but it does muffle the sound.
Anthony Francella - very true.
And the MGU-H/MGU-K are great technologies...but they are EXTREMELY expensive. In 2014, an F1 engine cost about $7+ million EACH(!?!).
www.tsmplug.com/f1/average-cost-of-formula-1-car/
And I doubt they are much cheaper now. Plus they cost hundreds of millions each to develop. And for what? Energy efficiency? Fuel economy? Almost no one goes to an F1 race for those. Additionally, they sound awful. And the major reason they are (apparently) there is because the major auto manufacturers LOVE hybrids (for a variety of reasons). And they basically told F1 that 'if you want us back - you have to bring hybrid technology in (so we can use it in our advertising/development of our road car/truck hybrids)'.
And F1 obliged. So now we have engines that cost WAAAAY too much and almost no one likes the sound they make. Not just the volume - but the quality of sound.
Personally, I would like a normally aspirated V8/V12 with KERS (which I understand was relatively cheap) that puts out about 1-1,200 hp. They would be far cheaper, just as fast and sound incredible. And I assume most F1 fans would love them.
And leave 'energy efficiency' to Formula E (which is a series I also like, btw).
Its the turbos that muffle the sound, not the MGU-H to my knowledge.
It’s amazing how much this circuit hasn’t changed
No, it's a very different circuit today. What you saw as the finish line straight is now the pit paddock. The course goes around the other side of the swimming pool now.
Absolutely fantastic footage....Thanks....
The quality and clarity of this footage is phenomenal!
the formula junior are superb
No aerodynamics, no roll cage, no computers. Pure mechanics and physical and mental skill. RIP to all the drivers that never survived their Formula 1 careers. Insane levels of courage.
Aerodynamics is a part of mechanics roll cages save lives and computers? well there really aren't any assists in todays f1 so i guess that's so so.
If you've ever played "Grand Prix Legends" on PC you know how ballsy F1 racing of that era really was, that game is basically the Dark Souls of car games.
Priceless
Just astonishing footage. Well done!
This video is a marvelous piece of art, it is a beautiful wonderful moment from the past a real gem, thank you.
This is amazing footage !
Not to reveal my age but I was actually there !
Thank you
Perhaps this proves time travel exists ....
Somebody went back with a 8k camera phone ....
Matt Davidson Its rather smart conversion, if only it was time travel, but sadly thats only possible at the quantum level right now
Sure you were there?
lol don't ever diss this type of footage by comparing it to a camera phone!
So you have seen the formula junior with Peter Arundell, too ?
Back when times were love
Why is that our heart melts while we see something which left behind..
I would love to be in 62
This brings back so many memories of such raw motor racing. Great footage and great heros. Vale Bruce McLaren, constructor and driver, who died eight years after this video was made.
What a great piece of film. Thanks
