Cool video, 917, 512S, T70 & Dario Fracitti
It's a shame it's not 3 times as long with more info and commentary and more in car with just the sounds.

Superb videos Steve!
Especially for those of us that see that period as a pinnacle of motorsports. Thanks for the post. Cheers Richard |

Yes and no. I can't argue with some of the amazing technology these days. At the same time, it's hard to argue with 200-250mph back in the late 60s and early 70s with the essentially non-existant safety. I LOVE the old stuff, the cars, racers and races had tons of character, charisma and romance. That's why when I buy a car book or magazine it's usually something that's got "classic" or "vintage" content. I really like Motorsport magazine and Octane and a few others.

As the video says, it seems the RS was and is the top of the line. At least from my perspective.
