Jacques Lafitte at Monza in Ligier JS9

[geocachespoilers]

good vids

[WELLBRAN]

a;ways liked this driver and the ligiers were a good team

[TifosiAlonso]

Lafitte makes really smooth moves while being on the limit, I love his driving style. If he had the right cars he could have been a champion.

[dks11000]

Lafite had bigger balls than Senna.

[NOXXism]

@dks11000 Not in the wet. Senna did inhumane things in the wet.

[Fastbikkel]

Balls of steel.

[kirkconway]

that angry sounding V-12 just howling away like it was nothing.

[bubi8894]

Holy shit....trees at Variante Ascari xDDD

[Fastbikkel]

@bubi8894 hehe (for safety reasons, so they would slow the car down lol!)

[RedhotIta1]

@bellxl where you took this Videos? They are beautiful

[kirkconway]

I could watch this vid over and over again, Jacque's was such a real type driver and modest person too,

Im tired of all the dumb bragging of pompous US driver;s winning this or that,

smooth and consistant is where its at and not showing off to a car owner,

That Matra V-12 just howling away like there was no tomorrow,

Absolute Mechanical Music!!!!!

[MxAxRxK]

i cant turn my speakers up loud enough!!!

[JRRacing85]

The tree at variante Ascari on the right hand side would be a bit of an eye opener in todays safe F1 world!

[T1carus]

The cameras where so large back then they wouldnt be able to race with them on, so yes practice.

[Soundgarden1009]

this must be a practice

[MACTMEISTER]

Definively this is a practice because the sun is at left in Rettifillo Centrale, that goes from north to south. Conclusion: this is a morning practice.

[CFSCOMPANY]

Fatica - Tanti sorpassi e poi si trova di nouvo dietro

[M13C0WB0Y]

All those tracks were so beatiful and so dangerous before

[Soundgarden1009]

i dont see how this track is more dangerous than now. all the turns are pretty straightforward.

[excell719]

pretty small barriers, not much run off area and a lot of dark shaded areas (im guessing)

[omosupra123]

what a noise!!!!!

[vivilotus92]

From 2:15 to 3:10 !!!

[Eyedeme]

beautiful sounds.

miss the v12 engine sounds

[T1carus]

ground effects ftw

[lalbruiz]

All these F1 videos, old and new, just give me more respect for these drivers. With the aid or technology or not, takes some amazing skills, and a "pair of nuts that reach to the floor" to race an F1 car. Awesome videos.

[mrchristian87]

very tru mi frend

[XXXXShelts]

Listen to that Matra V12 sing!!

[8pablo]

Monza! el templo de la velocidad y el sonido de un F-1!

Monza! The temple of Speed and Sound from a F1 Car!

[yellowbird479]

Fuck the V8 !!

Go back V10 :)))

[Interpol024]

That is a V12

[ostryer61]

"No human being can do miracles, you know, but Gilles made you wonder," added fellow racer Jacques Laffite.

[yindyamarra]

greta vid,,good to see driving a f1 car for real not like today

[italychamp]

it's incredible to see some trees at the "variante ascari"...this remind the security level in that period

[kenischa]

nice vid

[greatolry]

Ca fait plaisir d'entendre un vrai son de moteur, et un embrayage manuel. J'irai pas jusqu'à dire que "c'était mieux avant", mais les F1 actuelles paraissent être des jouets comparées à celle de l'époque de cette vidéo et avant. Oui, enfin, faut quand même en avoir pour se mettre au volant d'un de ces jouets...!

[augenauf666]

made in france ^^

[leleboria]

Grande Jaquot!Sempre stato il mio mito. Abito a Monza e andavo sempre al parco con la tenda i giorni di prove per tifare per lui. Uno volta gli esposi uno striscione che avevo preparato ed a un passaggio (all'uscita della prima variante dove mi mettevo sempre) alzò la mano per salutare... Fantastico. Che nostalgia di quella F1..

[gianlucasnow]

che piacere!!

[MonzaOne]

I agree that the aircraft-automobiles of today are just horribly ugly. So sad. Bringing back ground effect or eliminating aero altogether, returning the cars to racing cars, is not near at all.

[adkuznetsov]

what year is this from? it looks like late 70s or early 80s.

[excell719]

yeah its 1978

[huckebeinFW]

great, the ground effect era; maybe F1 should reintroduce the ground effect to some degree, to clean up the mess on the skin (thousand of winglets) of the current F1 cars; anyway, the cars of that time represent for me one of the best compromises in F1 racing: great power to weight (that did not require expensive technology), decent aerodynamics and good grip; too bad safety was not on the same level

[Rosemeyer78]

Macchine vere in una gabbia di matti, Fenomenale!

[JartBansen]

awesome stuff!!!!

[FM77]

smashing uploads...fabulous stuff..

[ArmcoGTC]

What a concert!

[Batigol74]

Excellent!!
