Double click on that to go to Youtube and watch it in 720p Fullscreen.. you won't regret it.

There is only one way to describe that video.. "Carporn", and not the cheesy fake amateur stuff they have today, I'm talking mid-90s Jenna Jameson quality.

eh...its a great video, but touring cars have never really done it for me, Id enjoy a vid like that (im sure there are plenty) but about Early 70's sportscar racing or 60s-70s F1

These are carporn to me.

And this shot is like a playboy.

There was an older F1 video at Monaco that was absolutely amazing but I can't remember what it was called or what driver was in it. It was an older (like 60s) video of a driver driving his car (may have been a Ferrari) around the Monaco GP circuit but it wasn't race weekend as there was traffic and stuff.

IIRC the video started with said driver in a hotel room unpacking his helmet and stuff from like a Hat box.

No it wasn't a movie, well at least not a big movie. I think it may have been some BBC (or other channel from that time) documentary type thing. I'll have to look overnight to see if I can find it.

Go to Project 34 click where it says History and then start reading.

The six wheeler was a heck of a car. It even won a Grand Prix. Do a you tube search for Jim Clark and you will see on board footage from 1963, when drivers were fat and tires were skinny

From what I've read, they did that because the car was too powerful for 4 wheels. If it did stay 4 wheels, the chassis would definitely be ripped apart.

Williams also experimented with a 6 wheel, but 4 in the back...but the Fia killed that quick...

Not really Vintage footage (it's from 2009) but it's a 1964 Ford Fairlane 500 prepped by Holman-Moody

Imagine being in one of those finely tuned European sports cars and having this loud oversteering brick come blasting past you, who says NASCAR only turns left...? lol

I found the Monaco video I was talking about.

When men were men. Great footage. Kinda cool that they let him do it before the Gp and that there were still people's cars parked on the street.

No love for rallying? If you want some great vintage footage you gotta check out the old group b rally cars from the mid to late 80's! Just simply awesome!

There is just something awe inspiring about seeing cars (and bikes) chuck it around the Isle.

The place looks so "mid-evil times" which just makes it all the more awesome to see the cars (and bikes) fly around it.
