Old Time Monaco GP 1936,37

[JONICRACHATLEITAO]

This is awsome.. F1 started in 1950, the first champion was Nino Farina, this was the time of the german domination, and when there was no championship, only a race.. But F1 can be traced in this format since the 1890´s... Vettel is the 32nd F1 World Champion..

I cannot fathom how exciting this must have been to watch at the time. The drivers skills seem ahead of their time.

[Ivory1975]

OMG i LOVED too watch that! They really drove like maniacs........i guess nothing really changed! lol

[gcrav]

Those Auto Unions had a tough time staying on the track.

A nice glass of champagne and a donut in victory lane.  Ahhhh!

[AFVABMDES]

Excelente!

[goerge4]

awesome vid..thanks

[galoon]

That would be the ultimate expression of class! I can imagine seeing someone like Stirling Moss or Mike Hawthorn toasting the crowd with a glass of champagne. It would definitely be more pleasing to see than watching a NASCAR victor doing doughnuts and slurping Gatorade!

These guys were really talented. Those cars might be very difficult to handle.

[TobHussey]

Nah, they were easy to race. I qualified sixth in this race and the car turned in easier than they do these days.

[schumisebas]

@TobHussey Yes, I'm sure you drove a 646HP Mercedes with skinny tires, manual gearbox and drum brakes.

[schumisebas]

@TobHussey Yes, I'm sure you drove a 646HP Mercedes with manual Gearbox and skinny tires. rFactor doesn't count, now try with a real W125 xD

The champagne spraying was started by Dan Gurney when he and A.J. Foyt won LeMans in 1967. This harked back to the early days of racing when one of the prizes for winning or pole position was typically a case of champagne from a winery. Be thankful it wasn't a bakery offering a case of blueberry pies..

[skvakagud]

@bellcord i remember seen something about, it was because he didnt drink due to his racing career. ? :)

[nike2die4]

lol i understand what u sayin but it gotta be hard to change now...can u imagine the impressions of fans if a driver won a race and didnt celebrate with the champagne,pple would definitely start makin up a whole bunch of shit about how it was soo wrong and worth not

[nike2die4]

we always have a driftin competition here and if i win or come 2nd i always do donuts,i know u were not talkin about me but when u say pple who do donuts after races are juvenile then it kinda implies to every single person

[nike2die4]

in my opinion there is nothing wrong with their ways of rejoicing i personally like the donuts and i dont think it makes me juvenile.

[nike2die4]

why do we always have to complain about every single thing? what soo wrong with them celebratin with champagne sprayin

[Autokraftfahrzeuch]

The Film is not speedet up! These cars have over 600hp!

[VideoDotGoogleDotCom]

Look more closely, the spectators move at uncanny speeds at times. And yes, the cars really were pretty damn fast.

[nike2die4]

they are actually 520hp not over 600hp

[boblhsax]

I'm sure that the film is speeded up. These cars were not that fast.

[SanderKamp]

We forget to mention the great ALfa Romeo's.

Bernd Rosemeyer too. Achille Varzi was very good too. Interesting is that even in the 1930's most drivers admitted Monaco wasn't really a racetrack and cars would never race there if not for the glamour.

[schopfheim91]

Rudolf Caracciola, Tazio Nuvolari, the best drivers before F1
