I was there and by chance spotted Graham Hill looking a bit despondent and alone, sitting on some tires in that big paddock tent. "I hope your not thinking of going back to bicycles" I said. He looked up and smiled. We ended up chatting about his early racing days and life in Canada for about 10 minutes! One of life's highlights for me.
+vintageracer25 Drivers and teams were much more approachable back then. A casual fan would have a lot of trouble getting near Lewis Hamilton at a race today. A couple of weeks before this race I could pay something like $2 to have a pass to the garage area at the old Nurburgring for the 1967 German GP and walk around right amongst the cars and drivers.
Vintageracer - What a lovely memory - EVERYONE who has written on youtube about a chance encounter with Graham says how nice he was - I myself idolised him and still remember how unbelievable his death was ... As far as I'm concerned, nobody in the UK has come close to his combination of brilliant achievement, immense courage and hilarious humour. Not even close, nowhere near ! (BTW Damon's recent autobiography is wonderful.)
Yes, there were true gentlemen drivers then. Notice how often they're seen talking to each other. And one of my favorite shots is after the finish of the 1967 U.S. Grand Prix (Watkins Glen), showing Jim Clark walking through the crowd to the podium. A couple of guys stick out their hands, and Clark shakes every one.
I was 10 and yes. you could walk the paddock and the track pre-race. I remember there were some support races first. Unless my memory has faded I don't think it rained until just before the start of the main event .
14 in 69 or 70 ? Ickx won, was my first, went to all the paddocks asking for decals, lol, you could walk right up to them, then, race time, walk around the track and approach the guardrail at some spots, specially the straight away, , watched Jackie Stewart go off the track onto the grass then back on, it was amazing how close you could get.
@@jean-marccloutier4309 That was 1969 and I was at that race too. My first and I was 12. ABC was showing the F1 race live for the first time IIRC and I remember Stewart after he was out of the race going up to their booth to be interviewed. That may have been his start of his long career with them. :)
I was at this race, so many great memories. The total lack of security for fans. Approachability of the drivers. The American pride for the Gurney Eagle. When Clark wrecked his car during a late Sat afternoon session, I wandered back to the paddock, which were tents lined up behind the pits. There was Clark, sitting on a crate next to his broken car, his hands in his head. It was only me, Clark and his mechanics working furiously. I asked him what happened. "It was my error. I will be here all night with the boys while they fix everything I broke." During the race, I remember Hill, puling down his goggles in the rain. I remember drivers navigating the hairpin like driving on ice. Must have been lot of oil mixed in with the wet. I was disappointed when Brabham beat my hero, Clark. I had camped at the track. The morning after, no one around, I drove my new BMW 2002 onto the track. I did 3 laps in the heavy dew. I spun 3 consecutive times at the hairpin. Yep, like driving on ice.
Wow thanks for sharing your experience Hoyt, I can only imagine how cool it was to be there, and to be alive in those times. It makes me want to call up Websters so they can redefine the word progress!!!
This is the Mosport I remember back in 1972/73. You could walk right behind the paddock and look into the garages on the other side of the cable fence. I remember standing right beside Emerson Fittipaldi's wife with her big hat. No special tickets. What a great time. The 73 Grand Prix and the CanAm series would draw 100,000 people. You should have seen the traffic jam going home.
This was amazing for me as a teenager. At the drivers reception I played slot cars with Bruce McLaren and Dennis Holme. Let’s just turn back the clock!
2023: I was there - inside top entry to corner 2 near the marshal stand (as always) .. the infield camping was always Canada's greatest party .. for Can-Am, too
"fat, foot wide tires"...haha, funny. The glory days of racing! Canadian Grand Prix at Mosport (76) was my first race. Miss these days....miss Jimmy Clark, and wee Jackie!
+Jim Watters Lol yeah, "Batman and Robin". Clark was incredible. I wasn't around when he raced but he's my all-time favorite, not only because of his abilities in the car, but also for the kind of person he apparently was when he was outside the car. Could use more of that today...
This was the 7th Grand Prix of Canada, the series having begun in 1961. The 1967 race was just the first time the event was run to F1 rules and counted towards the World Drivers' Championship. Thanks for the upload though, great stuff !
JIM CLARK - By far the greatest driver ever - no doubt. He is and was the Best of the Best. No other driver in history until today was so superior as Clark. This man is the Olymp of driving - the Michelangelo of racing - a dynamic art at the highest level. So smooth, so precise, so fast....simply out of this world. One, who won in Spa by 5 minutes (!) in monsoon rain...One, who takes back a complete lap (!) in Monza and back into the lead... One, who took pole on the original 22,8 km Nürburgring track by 9 (!) seconds and more....One who won Indy by 2 whole (!) laps...For eternity and by lightyears unmatched in the sport. That`s just four examples of his mesmeric unique genius...
1967, the year Canada celebrated the 100th year of it's constitution. The year of Expo 67, Terre des Hommes, Universal Exposition. 1967, the year of so many great things for all Canadians.
There was another entrant for this race - Cleveland, OH resident Tom Jones, in a Cooper T82. Jones suffered electrical problems during qualifying and only set one very slow lap time. The stewards denied him a place on the grid on the grounds that he was too slow, along with his general lack of experience in an open-wheeler car. Jones never entered another F1 race, and is considered one of the most obscure competitors since the Formula 1 World Championship started in 1950.
I love this old footage and the busy frantic music, what a classy time to be alive, men wore hats (not baseball caps) women wore dresses, and an F 1 car only cost $100,000 that was cheap. Whatta time!
amazing - and within five years, the guys Alex Trebek is talking about - Bonnier, Rindt, Clarke, Donahue, Revson, Amon are all killed - with Bandini having died just a month before this film was shot. McLaren aswell I think in a test of one of his nasty Can Am vehicles.RIP these heroes as seen in the film Grand Prix - this precise field
Spotted a brief glimpse of Jo Siffert amongst the spectators (8:38). He had qualified 13th, but was unable to start his car on the grid and withdrew from the race as a result
Great video. The track looks so different now. I have been going there for the last 5 years. At one point in the video, you see a guy standing in the grass with a flag right next to the track. You would never see that now :P Brave men!
2 years before my time ! Started watch F1 in mid 90's . Through karting people kept telling me to go to Mosport . Nope to far . Went mid 09 and was love at 1st sight. Eventually was doing double duty as racer and track marshal for karting !! Mid 2013 while doing track inspection someone from main track offered me a position there 🤯. A huge honor to be asked but heart in karting ! Still sort of feel stupid for saying no but eventually medical issue ruined the fun . If remember right the security guys liked a medium black coffee and a large double double!!! Glad got to see some oval races before the got rid of it ☹️.
I recall reading about this race in "Auto Racing" magazine. Bruce McLaren debuted his latest F1 car, the M5A, with the first time use of the BRM V12 engine; as the BRM works team was still using the H16. The car was competitive, with it getting into the top five in the race before McLaren had to pit with a failing battery, as the car did not have an alternator. A car without an alternator hints to me of electrical problems they may have had with configuring the engine to the chassis.
@@jimiverson3085 The 1968 was a breakout year for McLaren in F1, garnering its first F1 victories that year. Which reminds me of a frustrating experience with a UA-cam post many months ago. Autosport put up a video of ranking the top 5 McLaren F1 cars; and the M7A was not on that list. I was so outraged by that omission that I took that UA-cam post to task for excluding the M7A in that top 5 list.
Watching this make it crystal clear just how far F1 cars have progressed in terms of speed; but mostly safety. No guardrails , no run off areas, marshals exposed at the edge of the track, no seat belts. Romain Grojean would not have survived his accident in one of these eggs.
Romain Grojean would not have survived in any car without the halo, one of the best moments of watching formula one, see Romain come out of that fire relatively unscathed
+altfactor According to the book "CTV, the Network that Means Business", it appears that CTV covered the race that year. It might still exist, although many TV networks dumped a lot of old programs during the 1970s and 80s to make storage space for newer content. It might be interesting to shoot them an email and see if they know if their broadcast still exists, either on videotape or as a kinescope.
I can't see any of the current lot push starting their car after stalling it in a spin, jumping in without bothering with seat belts. However, both Hill and Hulme were ex-mechanics, the current lot are mostly rich kids.
The 1998 sim *Grand Prix Legends* simulates the 1967 F1 season and you can race at Mosport (best get the 2004 graphics update patch). In-game car physics put some of today's games to shame.
It's hard to understand how the Repco engine dominated 1967. 1966 made sense, the 3 liter formula was new, but in 67 there were Cosworth, Ferrari and BRM making far more horsepower. Yet Hulme and Brabham had it easy.
There's been some written items saying the Brabham chassis was very light, which acted somewhat as an equalizer to the higher horsepower Cosworth engine Lotuses; as the qualifying for the 1967 Italian Grand Prix had Brabham close to Clark's qualifying time. The light weight of the Brabham BT24 chassis cannot be verified. I've checked on the 'web for specs of the Brabham F1 car for the '67 season, and the one item not listed was the car's weight. The absence of the BT24 weight specification is odd, in that the weight spec for the Lotus 49 is revealed on several websites. But it boiled down to reliability of the Repco engine in '67. Cosworth had teething problems in '67; the BRM H-16 was clunky and overweight; and Ferrari always seemed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Brabham's competitors caught up with reliability in '68; even Ferrari won that year with Jacky Ickx at the French GP. The newly designed four-valve Repco engine, for the '68 season, couldn't compete with the Cosworth.
Será que o Hamilton teria peito para empurrar um carro de F1 hoje em dia, como fizeram esses heróis da resistência nesse primeiro grande prêmio do Canadá.
I was there that weekend. Does anyone else recall that Dan Gurney got a special testing session all by himself on Saturday?? I have strangely seen no mention of that anywhere.
I was there too. Gurney's Eagle quit coming out of Moss corner late in Saturday's practice and there it sat at maybe 4:00 PM. About two hours later - about 6:00 PM, I hear an engine revving in the pits. Then it's clear to me that there is a car on the track. I run down to the track and Gurney flashes by me at speed. I can't remember if he did a single lap or if there was a second lap. Gurney - RIP - a truly great driver, could get in a cement mixer and win
Yes, I remember that. The most amazing sound I ever heard. Gurney all by himself. You could hear every shift of the Eagle as it made one or two solo laps through the woods of Canada. I remember my American pride. The Eagle nose. I still have the picture on my wall. Dan Gurney, American hero.
That driver pushing his car on the track while other ones drives in full race speed in of a few meters away... you truly had to be suicidal to be a driver in these days.
Was anyone at the race in 1967 when the race car hit the flagman and he was killed i was 12 years old then and was up on the hill at the third corrner when the car slid off to the left then back to the right hitting the flagman some one came down and took off his shirt and put it over his head it was so long ago but i still think about it Dan Blocker had a car in this race a 67 Mustang he was from Bonanza i lived in Newcastle back then and a friends famley had land next to the track please let me know if you remember i will ck back to this video tks.S. Miller
Because they always scheduled race in the Fall. First race in Montreal 1978 it SNOWED. It was in the fall because they scheduled close to the US GP at Watkins Glen, and with two short drives you could see two GPs in two weeks.
IMO when the F1 cars started to grow wings they got ugly. Faster but ugly. The 60’s were also the last time when spectators could get really close to the racing. Like most things that were fun back then have completely disappeared,except from our memories.
Only 20 qualified men he says. Yeah, I don’t think that Foyt, Andretti,Leonard, Unser,Penske, Dallenbach, McCluskey, Parnelli et al were good enough lol

"we have a slightly damp track again" - as water sprays everywhere...
I’d say 19 drivers are ..not ..Al Pease
Interesting, but "Entire race from Mosport...Grand Prix." Lol! The drivers had an easy life in those days if the race was only 20 minutes.
Good point. Much of original film was in bad shape and unwatchable.
Shor5 races back then , eh?

IMO when the F1 cars started to grow wings they got ugly. Faster but ugly. The 60’s were also the last time when spectators could get really close to the racing. Like most things that were fun back then have completely disappeared,except from our memories.
Cris Amon.... never won a G.P.....
Angel Sennarr Christ
@Tom Smith yes, a very good driver; He races in a lot of teams, sign of his talent
I see him like i see Jackie Ickx!
Al Pease trying to get going ...Again!!
Only 20 qualified men he says. Yeah, I don’t think that Foyt, Andretti,Leonard, Unser,Penske, Dallenbach, McCluskey, Parnelli et al were good enough lol
point taken.
1967 - The Season that ended in Controversies that would make 2021 look like NOTHING!
