Alain Prost onboard (old Hockenheim race track) in 1983

Renault F1 Turbo RE40 (audio a bit out of sync though). AUDIO + VIDEO SYNC version can be found at: • Prost 1983 Hockenheim ...
Following his teammate Eddie Cheever in the 2nd half of the video + Tight pit exit !!

Difficult, but glorious times of the turbo era.
Difficult, dangerous, and very fast!

[@AndMart1962]

Thanks for these Prost videos, my all-time favourite driver.

[@detonator2112]

That's Eddie Cheever in the second Renault I think. Glorious era. Prost, Lauda, Rosberg, Piquet... and next year Senna. The REAL racers.

[@rascassette]

Yes, indeed his teammate Eddie Cheever (great driver too)

[@alvarosoares3530]

Senna, Piquet, Lauda were great but Prost was the most close to Fangio, in my opinion

[@momentsofyesterday]

Great footage, too bad the sound is out of synch.

I posted a new version audio + video sync'd up at ua-cam.com/video/xJ51Vnvlp90/v-deo.html

Interesting trajectory delta in the stadium section when following Cheever with Prost cornering much earlier and tigher than Cheever.

Prost was master of trail braking rotation of rear and throttle

@@gavinfinlayson485 Some interesting insights from his teammate Eddie Cheever about how sensitive the back-end of the Renault RE40 F1 car was and that Cheever had hard time leaning more on the back-end @ ua-cam.com/video/N91th02Qisk/v-deo.html

@@rascassette John Barnard explained it really well in a podcast interview on Motorsport magazine I think it was. Basically Prost would get the front end turned in early, but very gently, which meant he could control the rotation of the rear end, get it straight and then hit the throttle. He also mentioned how this allowed him to run different spring rates and less rear wing. That's the gist of it anyway 😂 well worth checking out. Best wishes for the festive period

@@gavinfinlayson485 Very insightful indeed, thanks for your reply and all the best !

One year removed from an accident on this track that changed his driving style... when Pironi hit the right rear on his Renault in the rain.

[@rascassette]

Not his driving style as he enjoyed driving in the rain he said (but just by himself) but definitely changed his risk-taking approach when following other cars under wet conditions.
