MONZA - The Old Circuit
 

Outtakes from the 1966 James Garner movie "Grand Prix" that was the story of Honda's first attempt at F1.

If this doesn't want make you want to go fast, there is something wrong with you

damn... that's a lot of suspension travel!

cool footage but I couldn't handle the music.

They needed every inch of it! I've walked the old track. It's amazing how rough the section joints are. That banking killed a lot of racers, but it's amazing it didn't kill more.

Really cool, thanks for sharing Borders Reivers.

More from same movie - this time Monaco 1966

Spa and the Nurburgring were the insane tracks for me from that era, but they were all pretty impressive to be honest.

I can remember when this movie came out. It was one of, if not the, first movie to give a look at speed from that perspective ie driver's view.

URY, Those are Formula 3 cars dressed up to look like Formula 1. Some real F1 footage was used too.

Borders,

I have a copy of the GP media guide and a copy of this Popular Mechanics

URY, Yeah James Garner played a good game. Bumped into him a couple times at races but never really got to know him. He and Hap Sharp both came from Tulsa and I knew Franz Weis and the Hall brothers from 1963 when Franz worked for Cyd Czekaj in Dallas at Cyd's German Automotive over by Texas Instruments on Floyd Circle and that whole bunch roamed the same circles.
