Sono stato 3 giorni fa a Collesano sono andato a museo del Traga Florio una esperienza che non mi dimenticare mai! Peccato non avevo tempo per l'atra museo che c'era le Macchine che hanno corso sulla Traga Florio emozioni puro! 😍❤️
When technology and skill were complementary. The absolute proof that if it looks fast it is fast. Drivers, cars, scenery, fans standing on the road verge, hay bales.... All that made racing beautiful and almost all gone.
Unforgetable drivers, cars, places like Targa Florio... I wonder if why today motor racing doesn´t seems to me better that one that this video shows (well, i know the answer, but i prefer to keep it for me...). My sincere congratulations for this video!!
magnificent days . it was a time of positivity and 'anything goes' . See all those people standing on the edge of the road, experiencing the excitement up close. I could not imagine this happening today , the fun police would be wringing their hands in fear. Peopel choosing what to do with their lives. They wouldn't allow it these days far too dangerous, Its our loss, all we have is old footage of our for fathers, brave people that wanted to live and experience life
What a nice line up of cars, they still have the Speedy the love Bug tight chassis and Hot Wheels wheels. That is like every Famous Model Car of the 80's, I built planes but you looked at them all, and these are the car Kits that were always in stock.
Those were the good old days. Everything was pure back then. People were genuine and sincere too. They were the kind of people you want to drink espresso with. The only problem is I was only two years old in 1971. Lol. They should reinstate Targa Florio. It's the ultimate proving ground for courage, bravery, and honor. Thank you for this video. God Bless you.
Sensational footage thank you, the upscaling is incredible! Would love to see more onboards from the Targa Florio, is there any race footage available?
@@964cuploveThe 908/3's had a really poor year in 1971, neither of the JW cars finished the first lap and although Quick Vic had tte fastest lap by 30 or so seconds he and Larrousse only completed 7 laps too.
So we can still have the Isle of Man TT where somebody dies every other race but we can't have the Targa Florio? with GT3 or GT4 regulations this event would be completely safe
Even if you had a master plan to pull this off safely (which, to be fair, might not be impossible, given the WRC still exists), it'd be a hard sell in today's safety-obsessed world. Even the TT only really survives due to its relative obscurity amongst the general public.
No, if you want to do that, the track needs major reparation in some places. From what I know it's not raceable under any circumstances in the conditions some parts and corners are currently in.
It's not a wall, it's a balcony from one of the houses closer to the camera. It's just a matter of perspective. Rewatch that part at reduced speed and pause/play until at 2:09 (when the overlay clock with what I guess is the race time is at *00∶21∶44∶23* ). Or use your '.' and ',' keys when paused to advance and rewind frame by frame. 🏎💨💨💨
@@texleeger8973 the fatal accident that killed it was in 1977. CSI (as it was then called) had to increase safety demands that led to them to stop sanctioning it.
Man I wish GT7 had the entire 72km track and these cars in the game, that would be amazing!! Ok no one would want to race on a track that long in a videogame but it would be a neat track just to have to drive around on.
2:19 ... the flying wireframe No.8 might be piloted by Gerard Larousse when a blue helmet shows up between the fences .. and to me even the Alfa 'arrabiata' looks a bit more conservative . than this uncompromised fueltank on wheels 😱
9 people including spectators were killed over the history of the Targa Florio. Two deaths in 1973, one a Lancia driver who hit a truck and the other was a spectator. I'm pretty sure there were some in 1976 or 77 that was why the event was stopped. It had a much better safety record than the Mille Miglia and Panamericana though.
The noise must've been deafening in those small streets... A real test of human in unison with the machine. Sadly nothing like it exists anymore... perhaps rallying comes closest
Mi ricordo che una settimana prima della gara a Palermo le auto dei cittadini privati ferme ai semafori sgasavano perché sentivano la gara avvicinarsi.

Beautiful cars racing through beautiful scenery. Real racing.
The greatest and most beautiful sports car race ever. What a spectacle!
No! Group C and Group 7 beats them, but that doesn't say much if anything! These car were glorious!
Magnifique.
Emozionante. Dovevo nascere 30 anni prima

thanks for sharing this beautiful footage
The speaker is Nino Vaccarella himself. He is called "preside volante" (flying principal) beacuse he has a private school in Palermo.
R.I.P :( Sept 2021, 88yrs
When technology and skill were complementary. The absolute proof that if it looks fast it is fast. Drivers, cars, scenery, fans standing on the road verge, hay bales....
All that made racing beautiful and almost all gone.
as if having more skill and technology now isnt also better.
Fantastic, what a great era this was!
What a treasure this footage is!
Without usual music, only engines sound
You sir are doing the world a great service with this footage
What a treat to find this on RUclips! The footage looks restored ..so clear... many thanks!

because of nostalgia and youve forgotten all the crap parts.
Very nice movie. The Alfa 33-3 and Carlo Chitti at their best! Many thanks.

Come off it. That was stupidly dangerous for the spectators. For the drivers, I agree it was their choice, and they were brave.
Bellissima gara la targa florio, forse ai tempi la più bella,Grazie Nino Vaccarella ed Alfaromeo
Saluti dalla Germania
Grande Alfa Romeo 33
Beautiful machines.. And the sound they make.. Legendary cars!🏆🙌
Ça fait rêver ! Quelle époque ! Les bruits , les autos, le décor, le public, fantastique !
Subed, we are so lucky to have these car's and this track in simulators, it took year's to make and is amazing to drive around for hours
Amazing footage! My favourite era of cars….both racing cars and road cars. This footage makes me wish we could time travel back! 🙂
great video and good times
lolol the sleeping guy at 3:49 terrific
Stunning video , proper cars and drivers just got on and did it,
What a nice line up of cars, they still have the Speedy the love Bug tight chassis and Hot Wheels wheels.
That is like every Famous Model Car of the 80's, I built planes but you looked at them all, and these are the car Kits that were always in stock.
RIP Nino having just died a month ago September 23, 2021 in his beloved Palermo
fantastic footage, thank you so much
That kind of speed on period rubber makes me tighten up a little. 😂😳
Fantastic. Imagine being able to get that close to these amazing race cars. Amazing. 😊🇬🇧👏
I wished I was there, what a great race
I love seeing the spectators. I wonder if they ever imagined that 50 years from then we would be watching them from anywhere in the world. I love it.

No, it is the same today 😂
Beautiful Palermo. Excellent footage
Just brilliant! Bring it back!
When the tech's ready this would make a fantastic foundation for a time travel movie.
Sensational footage thank you, the upscaling is incredible! Would love to see more onboards from the Targa Florio, is there any race footage available?
Che gare , che piloti , che circuiti , ! E che spettatori (sprovveduti ed incoscienti!)
brilliant footage, nice job!
That chase between the Alfa Romeo T33/3 and the Porsche 908/03 was so cool
Wonderful. That looked so much better in the video than in the thumbnail
ok i changed the thumbnail...
@@formula60b56 Oh - what I meant was that the video was really well improved. No worries, thanks for making this available.
La piccoletta e bellissima 908!!! Signora indiscussa di tutte le gare, alla FLORIO per antonomasia! GRAZIE FERDINAND PORSCHE, OVUNQUE TU SIA!!!!!!!
che suono meraviglioso
Indimenticabile! Avevo diciannove anni!
Fabulous stuff. Really enjoyed that.
When Alfa Romeo was better than Porsche...
Looks like the Porsche is catching the Alfa around 2:00 - no ?

You’re obviously using a different definition of “safe”.
Total bullsheit.
Isle of man is usually the participants who get killed not spectators
Even if you had a master plan to pull this off safely (which, to be fair, might not be impossible, given the WRC still exists), it'd be a hard sell in today's safety-obsessed world. Even the TT only really survives due to its relative obscurity amongst the general public.

The way he skimmed the wall at 2:08 was incredible

Спасибо! Отличное видео!
Awesome video! I was just wondering what it would look like outside of the simulators.
😎LOVE THAT PURE SOUND
👍🏻 without the usual background music
Great video
Simply amazing...
Only in Europe would you have these amazing events. Also the Mille Miglia!
Cough targa tasmania cough
Carrera Panamericana: hold my tequila...
😍😍 Quanti ricordi di una Vera originaria #terra dei motori l'unica ad aver avuto la TARGA FLORIO + 2 GP di F1 !!!!! 🏆 🏅 🥇 🎖️ 🏁 🚥 🏎️ ☀ 🌊 🗻 🇮🇲
La sicurezza ci uccide tutti! Che tempi belli in cui si poteva toccare le macchine.
Fantastico filmato, mi sono iscritto al canale, ciao Fabrizio - like 3700
1:22 this looks awesome!
Vere gare automobilistiche!!
The Best!!
L’ho vista a Imola la 33 bella, che nostalgia quando le Alfa Romeo vincevano le corse, e io con il cuore 💔 spezzato tra Alfa e Ferrari ❤️💔❤️
Proper Italian priorities: give the car some champagne before the driver!
Why those point to point races stopped to be done?
Driver deaths, spectator deaths, crashes galore. Last FIA sanctioned race in 1973.
@@texleeger8973 the fatal accident that killed it was in 1977. CSI (as it was then called) had to increase safety demands that led to them to stop sanctioning it.
I makes me imagine GT4 cars racing on a big road circuit.
Beautiful racing! ❤ Ps It's a shame Stommelen crashed the Alfa T33/3, as Kinnunen and him would have had a great result in the car for sure
Man I wish GT7 had the entire 72km track and these cars in the game, that would be amazing!! Ok no one would want to race on a track that long in a videogame but it would be a neat track just to have to drive around on.

La Targa, une course malheureusement supprîmee❤
❤😢😊😊 malheureusement
Wonderful.
Bravo!!!!!!!!
Ah, the days when spectators actually watched things, rather than recorded them on their phones…
👏🏻
Siamo tutti tifosi! ^_-
Qie belleza!
Back when the Isle of Mann wasn't the most ridiculous (in a good way) race on the planet.
Mustang owners take note - this is how you leave a Cars And Coffee!!!!!
haha
Now this is what you call motor racing.
surprisingly tere was never a fatal accident in the targa!
9 people including spectators were killed over the history of the Targa Florio. Two deaths in 1973, one a Lancia driver who hit a truck and the other was a spectator. I'm pretty sure there were some in 1976 or 77 that was why the event was stopped. It had a much better safety record than the Mille Miglia and Panamericana though.
@@marks7197 There were dozens of fatalities that were covered up by the Mafia in Sicily.
@@AmericasChoice What drivers were they?
@@marks7197 Not the driver's, but the

Oh, for a time machine...
The town scenes were like a Western Movie set somehow. With the gunfighters trading their horses for these race cars.
Wish I was born earlier to see all these cars driving in anger.

Red Bull just hired Takumi I see.. Good sign!!!
This is... Real sport's car.... Racing on the edge.... Shames modern formula 1.............*
Ferrari 312 pb was the best few years after no more Work Team endurance Great Driver's too
Uncle Nino!
Obviously before the existence of the FIA, otherwise they would have screwed this up as well.
La vera ALFA ROMEO
Sarebbe da sogno se tornasse.. ma vabbè
🏎🏁🙋♂️
Targa florio corsa memorabile fantastica
I don’t care what they saying , racing at its best
Wish they put the targa on GT7
Kalle beat Max Orido and Takumi?????!!! What Junk!!!! Never Happen!!!! Max and Takumi were payed!!!!!
No KERS, no DRS, no head protections. Only real automobilism for real men
…no fugly fins, no traction control, no hybrids, no whining even because their tire blew out - TBH, I stopped watching modern motorsport because those modern cars don’t speak for me anymore
epic
👍
Only race better than the Targa Florio in my opinion was the Mille Millia..
This is how Italians drive everyday
3:47 --> 0 fks given :)))
Pazzo!
