Monaco 1962

This just popped up in my recommended feed on YouTube, the quality of the footage is worth the 6 minutes it takes to watch.

Big screen is best.

That's some great stuff - Thanks Adam!

Excellent!

Wow,  lot of remastering went into getting the quality that good. Exceptional.

Burl Ives!

What was the camera car?  E-type?

I always get a kick out of period films like this, seeing spectators casually lounging against a wall that's two feet off the race line while they smoke a cigarette.  

Love those sharknose Ferraris - it's too bad that Enzo had them all destroyed.

What I was really taken by is how much the city itself has changed.

In reply to Woody :

I was wondering why I recognized the voice.  Thank you. 

That is just all ate up with awesomeness.  More please

That was beyond cool. Tom1200,  I was thinking the same. How much longer the tunnel is now, how much the bay has changed to accommodate more and larger vessels, etc. Cool stuff!

I don't think I have ever heard that much tire squeal at an F1 race. Was it real or was it added when the original film was made?

I liked seeing the actual swimming pool at piscine, the tree lined sidewalks and the complete lack of any sort of barrier between the race course and the harbor.

I need to watch it again on a big screen. The quality makes it look like it was made yesterday. 

In reply to DWNSHFT :

Not curvy enough to be an e-type.

I'm thinking maybe a Ferrari or Maserati Gt.

I can’t prove it but I think the sound was dubbed in later.

Outstanding.  Sure is easy to romanticize the era with a film like this.  Thanks for sharing the link.
