Chaos at the end of the 1975 British Grand Prix

Heavy rain falls at the end of the race and cars go off everywhere. Red flag comes out and Fittipaldi is the winner.

at 1:04 is that a marshall thats been run over that they are helping, notice in the commentary Jackie Stewart changes what hes saying when he sees this

Just watched the same footage on ESPN classic and it's all the same

@altfactor No, on the first part of the race Jackie clear says "and now it's time to go back to Murray Walker" so it is most likely unedited.

when Hunt spins into the pack, it sounds like his car is made of card the way it breaks up.

I think this clip may have come from two separate broadcasts.

Jackie Stewart's call may have been from an edited tape that aired a week or so later on "Wide World Of Sports", while the finish of the race may have been from a (presumably live) British TV (BBC or ITV) broadcast of the race.

For Stewart, it was the second major auto race he covered that year which ended early due to heavy rain. The Indianapolis "500" that year also was ended early due to rain.

Wilson Fittipaldi spinning with the #30 Copersucar...

and a lot of marshalls in the track... what a mess ...

Shame this was Emerson Fittipaldi's last win in F1. Had he decided not to join his brother's Copersucar team, to make a "Brazilian" top team, he no doubt would have won more races.

Well, he got a resurrection in CART racing though, still racing aged 49.

Catch fencing was used right into the 80s; one of the last was I believe Zolder 1982 where Nelson Piquet became trapped

A British Leyland on the circuit? Shit, that's more dangerous than the torrential rain and aquaplaning, LOL!
