This is amazing, unbelievable, like I've traveled through time!!! I just saw Bruce Mclaren, Jim Clark, John Surtees in his Lola, Bonnier, Phill Hill, Graham Hill and his BRM...up close, like I'm really there! Something good and beautiful from scary new technology, I just saw every bolt on Dan Gurney's Porsche, Ferrari sharknose in front of me!? I just walked through the pits of Monaco, watched the race up close as a spectator and a passenger in a car filming 1962 f1 cars during training. This is simply a mind blowing thing! I have never seen anything like this... Thank you sir; )

@@olivierriviere7527 I get what you mean. Though as someone who's lived in Hong Kong (but not in Monaco) it looks like Monaco still has a huge amount of flashy wealth; yachts and endless supercars. A flashy place, more of a party destination than cultural place to live. Whereas, Hong Kong has luxery on a much smaller scale compared to the larger size of the city as a whole. Much more historical culture and food to explore, and gritty areas make it feel more down to Earth. Sorry to type out an entire paragraph, I just don't see much of a connection between them! I appreciate your well mannered response.

Absolutely remarkable. If you saw this year's Monaco race you know how jammed with boats and yachts the marina was. Here there are only a handful of boats. Things have really changed over 62 years. The cars, the course, the huge number of people who almost overwhelm the principality. Monaco is still an amazing place. Love this video.

final minutes of the video feel like it was recorded last week with a drone, great footage

The Academy Awards winner in the 1958 Hollywood production: "The Big Country" - Burl Ives [1909 - 1995] who won as "Best Supporting Actor"... narrated this Monaco F-1 early 1960's race. The 4K reproduction is fabulous! And, like I've said several times in old racing films I've seen via KZread: The racing styles, car designs and drivers from the 60's and earlier decades, was never to be seen again in the past four to five decades due to the innovative technology that came about since then. It's a shame. There were a lot of famous names in Formula One racing way back when.

The sound it's not 100% accurate, but the restoration is magnificent!! Well done and thank you very much!

Fantastic. Great video quality. So many differences from how it is today. No sponsorship logos, very little protection for the fans on the side of the course, really high profile bias ply tires... The chicane at the bottom of the hill after the tunnel really isn't much of a chicane at all; they can just thread the needle and drive straight through it!

The end shots done by helicopter, slowly following the track, as practice goes on, are incredible. The simple piano playing is such a wonderful accent to the footage. Like a trip back in time, so long ago. Very nice video.

Not to mention all the people just standing trackside. Insane!

Thanks for posting. This layout is better than the current one. No chicane around the pool (progress can't be stopped) Better chicane after the tunnel. Station Hairpin! Those cars fit the track much better. At least it lives on in film.

Monaco racing in the early 60’s is the best! Small cars of 1.5 liters, beautiful single colors with large black numbers on a white round background. No sponsor names, but a little later the drivers names in black and white. Increasing engine sizes, larger tires, sponsors names and colors, wings and aerodynamics, turbos have made Monaco worthless. Example? 2024’s race (more of a parade).
