As a child of the 60s and car mad, I was always in awe of features like this at the cinema or on the goggle box. Usually, they only appeared on broadcast television when some live sporting event had been curtailed for some reason. Frankly, I didn’t care, this stuff was better than show jumping, wrestling, egg jumping or farting into a wet paper bag effete shenanigans etc, which is what it replaced. Bravo, it was all obviously cynical advertising, marketing and promotion but to an 8 year old I didn’t give a monkey’s testicular, I loved it then and I love it now at 71 years of age. This all despite most of the presentation being actually rather naff, working class oils like me were in thrall of the plummy, stuck up, Presumably Upper Class Twerps that spoke the lines in presentations like these! Oh, how times have changed!
En los años 50 y 60, las carreras de autos Fórmula 1 eran un deporte de caballeros donde privaban la amistad, la confianza y la solidaridad. Cada piloto debía esforzarse al máximo para ganar sin importar que dispusiera ó no del mejor carro, pero las medidas de seguridad eran casi inexistentes. Hoy la seguridad es digna de una película de ciencia ficción, pero nadie confía en nadie porque la política y el dinero contaminaron un gran espectáculo. Nada es perfecto ni completo.

Castrol sponsorship made me a customer for life (I'm 72)!
Groovy baby ! And an open Catholic Mass on Sunday !🙏
Yes. I love seeing the Mass at Le Mans, too. Makes my Catholic heart sing.
What a nice time for Motorsports, thx for Upload.
Like the soundtrack. Love the cars.

os carros eram bonitos e a mecânica era pura, os pilotos realmente eram de uma habilidade incrível
