Autre époque où l'ingénierie Française rayonnait . Qui a entendu un v12 Matra ne l'oubliera jamais.

Glad I saw them in 70’s & 80’s love that Matra V12 …nothing like it since!

Merci pour le reportage 👍

Matra c'est ma jeunesse , c'est l'amour pour le sport auto avec une voiture française , avant elle ne pouvait gagner que des voitures italiennes , anglaises , américaines et allemandes. Matra nous a fait rèver et j'ai eu le plaisir d'assister aux 24 heures du Mans 1973 sur place .

You were there ! Superb !

Dont forget Bugatti, Talbot, de la Haye. French makes have always been present in the top of motorsports.

Très instructif merci beaucoup

... and they created the 'vibraphone missile lounge Jazz'. The history, the company, the political power and influence of their chairmen ... Henri Pescarolo. No one could think up a more intriguing story containing all the frenchest of french elements in its time. Not even Graham Greene, who undoubtedly doubled Graham Hill at 42:16. Thankyou for the version in English.

The exact opposite of modern day drivers from me to Mr Steward,,,,, my utmost respect.

[@marioalberti6613]

Wonderful video, thank you for sharing! Superb!

Pas arrivé au bout
Le son sur la deuxième partie est totalement merdique : musique et bruit d’ambiance sont plus forte que la narration. Super chiant pour une histoire passionnante
Dommage

The 650/670 were beautiful looking cars that sounded even better, but it helps to win LeMans when you ban your chief rival for being too good at winning races so that you can walk over the weaker competition

[@greg-warsaw4708]

Very well, but already at 2:06 German Junkers is mispronounced as if the name originated from junk.
I agree Matra Djet was the first mid-engined road-going series-production car, however, not holding the title alone - instead, together (deuce in time: 1964-66) with De Tomaso Vallelunga.

Pas pu visionner la seconde partie. J'ai liké mais... inaudible.

[@ef7516]
