At 0:51 onwards (when Arnoux is catching up Prost), you can see how huge the onboard cameras were back then (looks like a giant grasshopper sitting above the roll hoop)
I remember watching a BBC documentary in 1983 about the Monaco GP. Memories are a bit hazy but I do the closing credits using this onboard footage of Alain Prost with 'Fanfare For The Common Man' (ELP) being played.
You should have seen it in the 1950s (not that I was around then…). There’s old vision from 1961 that’s amazing. Also, if you’re a movie buff, keep an eye out for _’To Catch a Thief’._ there are a few nice Monaco vistas in that too. All those beautiful buildings that were pulled down to make way for huge apartments. It’s an awful place. I don’t understand why anyone would go there.
Agreed. Thed did that to "increase" overpassing while adding one additional grandstand but failed miserably with the former so by Today large car standards , it would be more fun to come back to the original chicane.
I think that's because of the huge turbo latency back then with full power delivered at once that was making the rear wheel spin even in 4th gear inside the tunnel accoridng to a Prost's interview. 😲
both DNF. Arnoux spun out. Prost crashed out few laps from home. And, you got to appreciate both drivers. To drive those very hard to handled twin turbos in tight, and technical Monaco circuit are treatment of skill. That also why atmos still competitive in Monaco, or any street circuits into 83
And even more so while raining like during the infamous and final-crazy 1982 race edition (poor Prost who was so close from the goal and damaged his foot bones that were only fixed after he retired from F1) !!
Arnoux never had a machine to battle Ayrton, and in both years when Prost and Senna were driving for the same team, it ended with Prost having more points.
@@outhdare Ayrton Senna won Monaco SIX times...several times not in the best car....more than that, as a racing driver he was in a totally different league to Arnoux and Prost......
@@SedanChair I'm pretty sure I was following motor sport and F1 before you were born...and I'm certain I knew and had dealings with both Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost BEFORE you had ever heard their names......
Man i love so much this Renaults from the beginning of the turbo era, such a shame they never won a championship
Absolutly 😔😔😔

The driver blocking both Arnoux at 0:04 (with Arnoux losing his cool) and Prost at 2:59 is Eliseo Salazar with the Team ATS-Ford N°10
The guy who crashed out Piquet at Hockenhiem right?
@@aaronbarden8606 Correct with the nice boxing match that followed :-)
Piloto de Chile
Salazar was an even bigger idiot than DeCesaris, if that’s even possible lol
I wish they still used this layout of the track. It’s got such a better flow to it, compared to the modern day layout.
Yeah no. The old chicane after the tunnel was way too dangerous.
@@lethalchocobo1886 Specially with these longer modern cars
brother your picture represents something that is no good
@@kimiraikkonen949is it really that significant or are you just sensitive?
The resolution and image quality is better than in later years 🤔

É uma das pistas que eu mais gosto!
When men were men racing with one hand and shifting with the other!
Should go back to that
Monaco looked so much more beautiful back then!!
Of course it was was more beautiful... Older automatically means more beautiful/better..
@@ballaking1000 Fewer buildings, more trees.
I agree. Everywhere was more beautiful back in the day.

that was like karts, but multiplied by 1000x
LOL size of the cameras back then haha
速い、凄い。よく、これだけうまく速くはしらせる事できますね。とにかくすごいですね。
Absolutely no suspension which, I think, caused Arnoux problems later in his career…
the chicane after the tunnel was so much better back then, before they butchered it, to slow the cars down.
Agreed. Thed did that to "increase" overpassing while adding one additional grandstand but failed miserably with the former so by Today large car standards , it would be more fun to come back to the original chicane.
renault was an indicator of the stupefaction
👍👌
Great Pierre!
It seems to be a go-kart circuit for those ultra-powered cars...Dirvers hardly accelerating. But it´s Monaco

Época em que Mônaco era mais difícil.

That's a couple of years before Ayrton arrived for the first time....and showed them both how to do it.......

We don't give a shit about Ayrton, it's not the topic here...
