Alain Prost Brands Hatch 1983 (Onboard) - Long version

Renault F1 Turbo RE40 (great engine sound with sync'd audio this time)
Onboard cam for several laps on this fast track with nice elevation change (inc out-lap + pitlane)

[@tinobaricic]

Only Prost was able to make F1 seem like a sunday ride

[@rascassette]

What was more amazing to me is that he could tell before a race if he was going to win it having optimised this car with the most perfect setup before the race ruclips.net/video/AJvZ56Kolec/видео.html

Quel fantastique circuit !

[@rascassette]

Oui, rapide avec du relief

[@lorenzoarlati7582]

Solo Prost è stato capace di vincere GP e mondiali con 4 auto differenti... the best of all time!

[@donachille3351]

Whoa, thank you for these rare footages! I'm a fan of Alain too, so it's such a pleasure

[@rascassette]

Heel-toe downshifting all gears in one shot at all corners and short upshift from 4th to 5th gear on the front and back straights due to rear wheels spinning apparently

[@mrjasonwhite73]

These AFAVA films never get old.

[@Superfranco.]

Amazing

[@user-fp9ie1gz1g]

Professor Prost.
Practical classes.
I hope I will live to see when neural networks generate a 360-degree circular view from these videos.

[@rascassette]

That would be awesome to see.

[@paolodebianchi1389]

I piloti di adesso se la farebbero addosso con queste macchine

[@zoltanlaszlo2222]

It was good battle with Nelson.

[@pierreptg]

Agreed, I will post something hot between the two at some point later in time and not the infamous passing at Zandvoort

[@tobias03coimbra52]

Do you have any onboard footage of long beach? I've always wanted to know how was to drive there

[@pierreptg]

There is a very good one already with Patrick Depailler driving aggressively ruclips.net/video/wDLuA0fQ1Mw/видео.html

[@trappenweisseguy27]

Patrick was awesomely skilled. The footage of him in Montreal driving through standing water is insane.

[@merrick495]

Is that throttle lag on the downshift ? , it sounds like a real pig to drive.

[@rascassette]

No, Heel-toe downshifting all gears in one shot (e.g. 5 to 2) with more throttle rev up than normall instead of downshifting all gears sequentially like other drivers.

👍

We’re the box’s not sequential then ?

[@rascassette]

@@merrick495 Yes, but he was doing this partly to minimize wear and tear on gearbox which were not that reliable back then.
