Formula 1 drifting

[willdrumforfood01]

I'd like to see Tsuchiya try and slide one of these. Good god.

[Mirozenx]

lol imagine actualy trying to drift with 800BHP+ :o

[rfsculero]

lolnodownforce

[Douglas6250]

If the Bennetton driver held of that drift if would really be properly bad ass !!

[Douglas6250]

Wow I wish we could still see something like that nowadays, maybe even in the dry, to see F1 drivers driving like D1GP drivers and make smoke everywhere on the track !!

[NOXXism]

When f1 drivers had balls

[Racemike1]

Those were men ...

[wtficantgetausername]

pilots

[bamboali]

nice, untill the crash of couse. :)

[ExderFury]

the good old days ^^

[TheJuustonaksumies]

149 cheers for Monaco

[imbok]

Six people are, apparently, wankers.

[muse527]

How could anyone dislike this?!

[lumo841]

The sound of those cars is pure sex

[MegaMrDamo]

Cars were still made of steel then not carbon fibre, the first carbon fibre f1 car was a early 80's McLaren

[Endymionsan]

It's nearly an inertial drift, just the pilot lose the controll. :)

Why not use the peoples this technique in the F1 race... it looks coll. ^_^

[hlidskjalf666]

@Endymionsan

-because in general the fastest way is when all wheels are on the ground....basic physics.

EXCEPT on a tight track like this (monaco gp) were its acctually fastest with a delicate oversteering called fish-tail! Thou F-1 pilots are a few who can drive like that. In WET conditions/RAIN its also in general ultimate when all wheels are welded on the track! front wheels tearing the water for best traction and dynamic stability. Quite hard thou without electronics =)

[richboy900]

The 2nd guy was lucky to continue, they say a modern F1 car with all the carbon fibre is stronger but I bet that would knock the rear wing clean off. Great video nonetheless

[Blufox8]

@richboy900 I'd say that's pretty accurate. When carbon fiber is used structurally it is on average twice as strong as steel. There hasn't been a fatality in Formula one since Ayrton Senna's death in 1994...so i think it's pretty safe to say that the new cars are safer

[richboy900]

@Blufox8 I agree I watch F1 when i can, and last year had a fair few accidents such as webbers car flipping in the air, while i think its better that the cars are safer I also reckon they are slower at the same time :( I miss the older cars, they had more power and the 2005 or 4 cars hold most of the lap records. Those were great seasons also

[PJ2436]

Were F1 cars stronger bacn then or something? That Benetton rear ended that barrier like nothing. Anyone who does that nowadays would get some "suspension damage" and pussy out and retire.

[MrThreshold2009]

@PJ2436 Didn't you see the almighty whack Alonso got from Barrichello at Spa this year? Didn't bother his Ferrari one bit, infact he continued deep into the race until he stuffed himself into a wall.

[jjunfer]

Now this is F1 Porn !!!!

[puntatacco]

The guy who spin was NOT Alboreto

[unwindout]

@puntatacco The Tyrrell driver is Danny Sullivan. Has to be practice, 'cause he was 4th in the race (1983). You can hear winner Keke Rosberg's throttle control all the way down the hill. He was mind-blowing, he could drive like that in the dry too! Nico is good ... but he ain't his Dad!

[puntatacco]

@unwindout Mark Surer´s car-control is AWESOME

[aojolaifjoa]

turbos right?

[Skinter10]

0:07  Fail....hahaha

[AlexTube95]

This isn´t drifting

[Rik1pk]

@AlexTube95 looool it's a power slide it's pratically impossible to drift a f1 car man :S it takes alot alot alot alot skills

so who gives a fuck if it's a drift or not?

[BAR006JBTS]

Wow, wish the modern cars could do this :D

[TheLukas12364]

thats is what i miss in f1,turbo engine incredible sound and wild drifts

yeah

[miisu]

Go Keke!!

[KhmaiSouljia93]

MIMIC FAIL!

[0ThePainkiller0]

SPIN, NOT DRIFT

[camrybestsale]

very dangerous!! but cool he didn't crash hardly!

[TuneViper]

love the sounds ;o i wondered what it was like to hear a crash .. even if it was a little one like that .. last drift was gutsy!

[F1worldgrandstand]

awesome shit!

[jarimattilatvala]

Who is a guy in the Tyrrell who doesn't konw how to drift?

[amppeeri]

Last car is williams and driver is "Keke" Rosberg and by the way, he did win that race..

[crhistos2]

good video men!

[GDH1981]

Yes it is

[fatboywheadon]

Fuck you too. You obviously don't have a clue mate. Of course it's F1

[LIKETHISINGLADIEITOR]

it's 1983 f1.....l0l....

[wannagoodcar]

@LIKETHISINGLADIEITOR I think you think its formula 3000

[nickforthetitle]

what a great sound eh

[sfd72]

you have not driven a car with clutch

[Jamirofan89]

0:09 lol how the car started again? there's no ignition key in these things.

[IAMSO619]

he kept his foot on the clutch and never stalled it

[gogonougo]

bump start

[newcastle888]

*plays Tokyo Drift soundtrack*

[EwanCee]

the last one isnt drifting its spining

[rexcars27]

I can do that in the dry

[craigio1806]

Nice car control!!!

[sfd72]

Rosberg doing it because he could

[brokenpleasefix]

How did Alboreto restart his car??

[lilbHEMI]

the clutch? :)

[tohtorigyro]

it's a down hill, put 1 gear on, let the clutch go and the rear tyres rotate the diff, the diff rotates the gearbox and the gearbox rotates the engine back on. simple. just the same as starting any car on downhill or by pushing it.

[atsernov]

Except you use 2nd or 3rd because it makes it easier for the tires to turn the engine. (Not sure what F1 ratios are like)

Don't believe me? Try it. Take a standard car, engine off. Try to push it in 1st, and then try to push it when it's in 5th. Bet it's a lot easier in 5th. :)

[Smikefliege]

he didnt let the engine go out

[203132]

technically it's hydroplane

[hahaha10001]

and its F3 not F1

[tigermoth737]

That is F1.

[dermaechtigemax2]

Unfassbar, dass der weiterfahren kann...

[loowww1]

the first one is not marc surer but Chico serra....

[6kiwis]

that second car was lucky, that could have turned out way worse

[alanamp]

wow! great!

[youcamu]

el Benetton-Tyrrell es indestructible XD

[secretRBRman]

"1978, onboard, wet Montreal track"

[proedros4]

AYRTON......

[raptormaster666]

Whoever crashed their car against the barrier, if that had been a modern day car they would have broken something, but the old car just kept on going.

[LanciaS4]

True, thats because Tyrells were carved from solid granite. ;)

Its hard enough to hang on to 130hp in the rain, imagine hanging on to about 700,with no power steering or electronics to help you.

[FormulaOneFan4Eva]

modern f1 cars are meant to break easily on impact...

[bennyn11]

@raptormaster666 you can see the front wing is damaged. back then you couldn't fix that as fast as today. modern F1, the whole front end can come off and be replaced with an exact piece.

[satansblargh]

@raptormaster666 actually the cockpits in the older 1200hp turbo charged 3 litre cars they were very weak and could easily punctured the cars back then had very little or no safety features compared to the modern cars of today the cars of to day feature weaker body parts but the cockpits are almost indestructible . so does it really matter if you can continue a race after a minor scrape or does it matter if you can survive pancaking your car into a barrier?

[satansblargh]

[PulletSurprise]

@raptormaster666

Newer cars would have kept going, too. They'd just be missing a few wings.

[RRVCrinale]

@PulletSurprise Yeah. Wings and other points on the car nowadays are looked at as more like crumple zones than anything else in a crash.

Don't call it the car being more fragile, call it the car being acceptably fragile in strategic areas.

[Otternase420]

@raptormaster666 Thats because the old cars were out of solid metal, besides the new cars wich are made of plastic crap!

[markmorrow8o]

@Otternase420

made of LIGHT plastic crap actually old cars were heavier, you know whatsa good solution? DONT CRASH and that bumping the barrier wasnt even a crash it was so slow..

[DursleyBMX]

@raptormaster666 The old cars were also extremely unsafe... the whole reason the parts fall off the new cars so easily is so that it absorbs some of the impact of the crash, sort of like crumple zones on a road car.

[hlidskjalf666]

@raptormaster666

A modern car is way faster and a crash like that would change the far-more advanced chassie-setup.

And old cars were dangerous, cause a modern car is d e s i g n e d  to asort of intetion fragmentation = more parts falling apart,the more weight are ceased and thereby reducing the impact by purpose.

[raptormaster666]

@hlidskjalf666 @Dursley etc

Thank you everyone for pointing out the blatantly obvious. Physics aside, you are all so happy to point the new vs old with gay abandon. I. K.N.O.W. it's more dangerous, that they were designed, I'm merely stating how solid the older, more trigger happy cars were. Frankly I preferred the wild nature of the older car, it was more down to the skill of the driver.

[Darkfallsification]

@raptormaster666 That's because modern f1 cars are designed so that everything aside from the cockpit breaks up upon impact. It meats that it absorbs most of the energy from crashes. Yes most of the parts of f1 cars today are fragile, the cockpit can take a bullet where as you could probably punch through the cockpit of an 80's f1 car. That's why no one has died in f1 for almost 20 years. Think before you go round ranting about how "It was so much better in the good old days!"

[raptormaster666]

@Darkfallsification Adds you to my previous comment, can't be arsed to repeat it everytime someone with a chip on their shoulder wants a throwdown.

[ZamolxisReborn]

@raptormaster666 two problems with your logic there:

1) modern race car probably wouldn't have lost it there.

2) modern race cars are MUCH stronger! it was sheer luck this one didn't break, it was a glancing blow on a very strong part of the car. Carbon Fiber + Kevlar >> Aluminum Alloys.

[XR07]

Its not drifting,dont you see??? The track was wet so it a slide....

[Pro60modman]

who cares its bad ass

[alanamp]

This is driving man, not drifting

[thomaslandman]

Monte Carlo? worst track to drift on

[Konfuusio]

Yeah! Keke Rosberg showing what the real F1 skills are!

[thksfrthrgsms]

...why cant we have this as f1 now..i might actually watch it if they cld do that nowadays

[Tubbs888]

Next year, mate...F1 has no traction control...so ur wish may be answered

[bluemonolith88]

Track control or not, F1 cars will never drift intentionally during a race unless they are racing on dirt roads or snows. Even now, they do have button on a steering wheel that disables a traction control. The video was an accident, an example of what not to do with a F1 car on a paved road.

[dsmspyder]

The Arrows and the Williams look like they were actually going faster than the Tyrrell (sponsored by Benetton) that spun...

[NEILAE86]

This was a time when the driver had something to do with the success of his team. It was also a time when I could sit through more than 10 minutes of an F1 race. Bring it back ! ! !

[blackcloudday]

Haha drifting on Monaco probably couldn't have picked a narrower track.

[djpiquet]

Surer is the man

[me123321em]

ouch

[panmistrz1]

Nawet niezłe...3/5

[Sean1237]

2 wings on those days, lost count on how many wings F1 have today

[hp1509]

great times ...

[ayrtonsenna1960]

that was so so coll see rosbergis a true driver

[zpud]

Rosberg is the MAN

[F1Podcast]

great video mate!! I LOVE IT!!!!! cheers, Pep.

[GDH1981]

I know, these guys didn't need traction control.

[94070]

now those were real drivers and not the pussies of today
