Martin Brundle drives a 1974 McLaren M23

[MrWalkInTheRain]

What a great car!Honestly thinking F1 should look at the past.I would really love see cars like this racing again,obliviously with the security technologies of today.

Btw,what's the song starting at 0:55 to 1:06?I can't find it.

(Sorry,if i may made some errors,my english it's not so good)

[MrGUGLIELMOFEDERICO]

4.Super Aguri SA06 Honda (2006)

5.Red Bull Racing RB3 Renault (2007)

[cjdj1993]

[futuretiger]

The M23 was a beautiful car - what a real Grand Prix car should look like....

[gnarkillkicksass]

"Ohh YEAHH!!"

[muddwell]

0 dislikes .. nice. Ta for the upload.

[mellilore]

The only car, along with ground effect Lotus, able to overcome the Ferrari Boxer T's

[wks1978]

"Don't you try that on me!" I love the way Brundle talks to the car.

[EricIrl]

The song?

Seasons in the Sun sung by Terry Jacks.

Based on a Jaques Burel original.

ブランドルの旧車F1試乗ｼﾘｰｽﾞは面白い!!!　赤ﾍﾟｶではこのﾏｸﾗｰﾚﾝM23もﾎﾞﾝﾍﾞｲﾌﾞﾗｯﾄﾞ­の血液ﾘﾚｰで活躍していたはず。　この時代のF1ｶｰは個性があっていいな。

[Master1906]

Brundle = Legend

[BrotherYounis]

these are nothing compared to the 2008 f1 shaped cars they are the best this genaration has seen.

[28jaguar]

it would be good (for me anyway) if that car came to australia and did a demo at the phillip island historics in march, it would be sensational to see/hear it!

[1990MattyD]

Can anyone hear the Yoda noises at about 4.10?

[CallaceAlfame]

That car sounds like a Ferrari 458 Italia.

[PS3GameProductions]

[markko17]

Emerson won his second championship in that car and he was what, 26 years old?

You've got to wonder how many championships he would have won if he hadn't got caught up all that Copersucar crap.

[mcramsey]

The car has a better view over the race track.

But safety was very low.

[muddwell]

Sounds awesome. Martin is a champ.

[chriskart09]

oh come on Martin... push!!!! Looks like my momy driving...

[nickforthetitle]

was it manual gears yeh? must have been

[flipsidedogchop]

ahh the superb cosworth engine.....great english engineering!

[togalogs]

Modern F1 cars need less downforce and bigger rear tyres then we'd see drivers sliding around like this.

[TheLloydA1]

@togalogs they say in 2013 when the turbos come back they will have alot less downforce bigger tyres and easier to overtake but harder to handle.

[Milanotjuh]

the music is great. can anyone tell me what it is?

[bigymaker12]

These cars look more safer then the current ones...

[bubi8894]

wow, the helmets from the 70s really looked as unsafe as they were^^

[NewYankee01]

wow the flag man that is legendary

[MrBlackheart1986]

that was crazy!!!

[FormulaOneFan4Eva]

i think they still do that at monza but nowhere else...

[NewYankee01]

a nice touch missing from grand prix that will never happen again is the man who is allowed on track waving chequered flag with 150mph car whizzing past just feet away

[RickyJ46]

It's astonishing how much these cars advanced in seven short years since the Lotus 49...

[NewYankee01]

this is formula 1, everybody pushes each other to develop, those ones that do a duff job of it fucks off

[FormulaOneFan4Eva]

so true, 70s in my opinion saw the greatest contrast between the start and end of the era... just take a look at the lotus 72 and the ferrari 312T4...

[darkoneforce2]

Cars from different eras had different demands.

The G-forces and dehydration of today racecars wasn't there, but also those cars lacked power steering and had manual gearboxes.

[KillerDreck89]

I want to drive this car.

[cornholio1962]

great car..then the m26 oh dear!!! good ol days..steve bunn davey ryan ray the hair grant.. hampton more..used to help build the air boxs in the school hols..and later thanks to the paint shop guys a luminous framed mclaren dayglo push bike..

[euheide]

I've seen in a documentary that these old cars had some kind of technology what was later illegalized. And so, in that aspect, they were more advanced than todays F1 cars. Don't remember what it was though :) But it was electronics. Or was that other car? lol

[0l0Dom0l0]

fuck me that thing sounds good....and 160mph in 1974. not to shabby isit really lol

[McLarenMercedes]

actually they saw speeds above 200mph on Monza even before 1974

fact is the 1971 Monza race had an AVERAGE speed of 151mph, and that's with the pitstops and slowing down for the curves

[vansoth]

That was before the chicanes right?

[McLarenMercedes]

Correct.

[AduneStormwind]

0:45 OMG Ambrose Burnside was still alive back then. He looked great for a 170 year old man

[GTRF1V8]

absolutely love the sound of this car!

[lamage89]

I'm 14 years old our family friend owns the Stanton Special (a special from NZ Google it) a cooper t41 replica and the ex Hulme Mclaren m23 and iv got to help my dad work on it!

[spercepolnes21]

The ex Hulme Yardley-Mclaren? Nice.

Is the Stanton Special the one with the Gypsy MMajor engine in it?

[lamage89]

yes and yes its sooo awsome im so so so lucky

[spercepolnes21]

You sure are - it's a lovely car, in perhaps the nicest colour scheme of all the M23's and I'm glad it's in NZ.

Does the Cropduster still run?

[lamage89]

the cropduster still runs in fact its going to goodwood this year and the mclaren unfortunantly is in the Uk thing is it will get drivin more over there more events for it

[lamage89]

Funny thing with the cropduster is when the stanton brothers were building it they bought 2 spare engines so meny years later there first engine is still in the car and still stong and i know it sineged my hair hair while starting it! huge flame out the exsaughst and i had to pull the jumper leads from the socket and lost some hair not much but still it sank OVER the 100 octane and the owner stil has 1 of the 2 spare egines

[lamage89]

its the M23 that won the swiss grand prix

[khanst3r]

u can hear brundle grunting through the corners..must still generate high g-force loads through the corners.....

[dombou70]

Would also be the lack of power steering on those era F1 cars.

[nutty1957]

How many of you made the Tamiya 1/12 kit of the M23 as I did as a teenager? Handsome car, I always thought.

[spercepolnes21]

I made 2 - 1 for me and 1 for a friend.

[Keldenbutton]

lol! it's like he's getting turned on by the car

[DnylF1]

it's fully understandable

[fearbeforefearbefore]

I got turned on by it. Sounds amazing, looks amazing, and slips the back end out every now and then. Everything you'd want a woman to do.

[charlie866returns2]

what the song called at the start

[bitsmartuk]

"Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks.

[charlie866returns2]

thanks

[kriklan49]

@charlie866returns2 You don´t understand the lyrics or what? Use Google, man...

[charlie866returns2]

@kriklan49 took your time to reply

[kriklan49]

@charlie866returns2 It did in deed. Sorry, it should have been a kind of advice but it was presented bit rude from me. It´s a bit confusing that you understand English pretty well (as seen in your comments), but dont just write down the lyrics into Google and have to ask. That is the point.

[charlie866returns2]

@kriklan49 i get your point but what do you mean i understand english pretty well?

[bitsmartuk]

Blips out a couple of times unfortunately. Having some trouble with my EyeTV software since the last update.
