Le Mans 1969 Part 2 - Race

[Revenat2]

Jacky Ickx rullz for his rational protest to start the race in a more safer way.

His daughter Vanina still races at Le Mans right?

[ManualClutch]

After a crash like that they don't stop?

[flaperke]

Haha Ickx. Genius. Makes me proud to be Belgian

[Jansauber1]

very nice video, the golden age of sports car. maybe the best race ever: Ferrari, Porsche, FOrd...sadness for Woolfe. Somewhere i red that i didn't fast his seatbelt..but he was very unlucky because after a very bad crash the Ferrari of Amon hit him at full speed..

[cobraopts7]

@Jansauber1 you forgot oldsmobile there was a racer with a w43 hemi 455 rocket olds

[PowerToTheNerds]

at 5:40, "serves you right.. don't get in the way" haha

[iluvworldofwarcraft]

its amazing how they have videos of old races like these for us younger race fans to enjoy

[375GTB]

Woolfe DIED in his 917's explosion.....

Censorship?

Denial?

J.C.

[renegadeskinninja]

1:24 look to the bottom left lol

[biccyboy]

lol DIE

[HahahahahahahDie]

if ickx is so retarted how come he has won le mans and including this event six times. think before you post son

[Tonio31]

He won, idiot. He realized it would be pointless to waste his energy running all the way to his car and to purposely throw aside his own safety by not putting on his seat belt just to save a few seconds in a 24 hour race.

[Ronbo710]

More proof I was born too late =)!AWESOME!

[PeterMayer]

Insane how they use to just run to the car, barely putting their belts on!

[wilsonhonda]

excellent post !!

[gaylestephen]

I cheered when the paparazzi photographer nearly got run over at 05:43. At long last, the paparazzis getting a taste of their own medicine. I betcha some of the drivers were cheering as well.

[hypaaktiv]

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! This is a small idea of what real racings once was. NASCAR is ok, but expressly boring compared to prototype road racing.

[shinri1]

Great footage, but it seems bizarre that no mention is made of the fact that John Woolfe sadly lost his life in the 1st lap crash. This tragic accident caused the abandonment of the traditional 'LeMans start' from 1970, as Woolfe fatal accident has been blamed on him not having time to fasten his racing harness, and his failure to latch the door properly.

[Porsche911GT1]

did you read the full description for the vid?

[shinri1]

You're right, you did explain the same thing in your description, I'm just surprised that the commentator kind of bypassed the issue in the film itself.

[martinjames138]

And no mention about death of previous year winner Bianchi in practise.

[dinoa7]

thanks for de memory of jo siffert :-))))))))

[mckane2]

pedro rodriguez, yeah!! Mexican, you know?

[JAG312]

"pedro rodriguez, yeah!! Mexican, you know?" Don't forget Ricardo, his brother. Both men were damn good drivers. I miss them both.

[Spyker88]

Wow, first time seeing some racing from David Hobbs.

[realdocloco]
