Fantastic to watch. This wasn't the French Grand Prix of 1957, as that was held at Rouen-Les-Essarts. It was a non championship race, but was known as a GP.
I do believe that this track is still there in mostly in its entirety although it's a bit overgrown now. The main stand and pits eco to the sounds of great cars and drivers that refuse to die. look it up.
Been there 3 weeks ago. The surviving infrastructure on the start/finish line is in better and better condition each year, being taken care of by the local association Les Amis du Circuit de Reims-Gueux. These people do a great job of preserving the monument for the future. However, the route is cut - as the main N31 road Reims-Soissons was upgraded to expressway, former intersection at Virage Muizon ceased to exist, thus leaving the Bretelle Nord part as a cul-de-sac.
@@greg-warsaw4708 and every year Dunlop (I believe) pay for the paint so it is refreshed regularly. Les Amis du Circuit de Reims-Gueux are also promoting more and more car orientated events. Certainly worth a visit there - but ensure you pull off the main road if you're staying any length of time
Well, the old rule is, the slower cars must stick to the right side of the track, and the faster cars must pass to the left. That means that on this track, it is either pass the car ahead down the straight or try to pass them on the outside of the hairpin bends, of which there were two at this track.
le grand prix eu bien en 1957. mais cette course fut hors championnat . le grand-prix de France, cette année là se déroula à Rouen et fut remporté par Fangio sur Maserati
Can we return back here? Modern tracks are just oversized kart tracks. You need real balls to drive here, Just straights and slipstreams. Formula 1 made so much money, I am sure they can put one dozen helicopters and 300 marshals and medical units at every single corner. Needless to say, modern barrier that was made in plastics.
I mean if the FIA didn’t have a straightaway length limit, which I think is complete bullshit tbh. But it’d be a great idea if the cars were a hell of a lot smaller. That being said, I think what f1 needs is at least one race that’s just balls to the walls speed. We used to have Reims and old spa, which were absolute slipstream battles. We used to have hokenheim, but that got stupidly redesigned. The closest thing you see to this kind of racing today is at monza, and it’s usually one of the highlights of the calendar
@@fabianrocha9924 I don't agree. The race is Reims not Rouen. The year is 1957. For the race in Rouen les Essarts, 1957, you are right. 1st Fangio; Ok ! Reims is not the same town as Rouen les essarts. and not the same date. REIMS 14 /07/1957 : one thing ROUEN 7/07/1957 : another thing
@@fabianrocha9924 No, this is a non-championship race. You're talking about the earlier race, the French GP held at Rouen-Les Essarts. Musso won this race, Fangio crashed out near the end of the race.

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing man, and greets from the Netherlands!
I've seen some shambolic starts to a race in my time, but this takes the biscuit!
Vintage stuff for some of us being from REims

Musso, Collins, Lewis Evans, Hawthorn, Casstelotti..all of them gone soon. But if you're gonna go down, go down in flames.
I find it hard to see how the Vanwall was much more ''aero'' than the other cars on the grid other than it had a smaller radiator opening most others.
just splendid
1957 f1 gp was not in reims. It was in Rouen-Les-Essarts. I don,t know wich year is hat video
non championship race.
The championship GP race was held on 1957 july 7th in Rouen les Essarts. 1st : Fangio, 2 : Musso
hahahahaha that start what the hell is that guy doing in front?!
Answer hes French!
Perhaps Toto Roche
Anyone why there was a rule that you can’t pass on the inside?
Well, the old rule is, the slower cars must stick to the right side of the track, and the faster cars must pass to the left. That means that on this track, it is either pass the car ahead down the straight or try to pass them on the outside of the hairpin bends, of which there were two at this track.
When F1 was worth watching. Just man and machine.
Today, the cars are faster but all computers and BORING to watch - like a video game.

What a boring track, just a huge triangle.

yes but very dangerous. the winner Luigi Musso was killed in 1958 on the same circuit, Reims
@@DL-ls5sy Um the winner was Juan Manuel Fangio
Luigi Musso finished 2nd
