After watching this, I have even more respect for David Hobbs. I always hear about his racing history while watching Formula 1 in the US but actually seeing him driving and hearing the hilarious comments he has in this video is just amazing. He raced back when every time you got into the driver's seat could be your last. I'm not saying modern f1 doesn't have the same risks but these guys back in the raw, early, days of racing, had to have the balls to push these cars to the limit. Eventhough overstepping the limit could mean death. These racers that risked the most, will always be my heroes.

Absolutely awesome! Can- Am, the greatest racing series ever. So glad that I still get to see these beasts at the vintage races at Road America every summer.

Amazing that two future TV commentators (Hobbs and Sam Posey) were right together for a portion of this race.

Guy leapt up 22 places in one race. 22 places! Talk about a bender...

So many great names in this video.. David Hobbs, Stirling Moss, Jackie Stewart, Denny Hulme. It's unbelievable!

Had to have balls to drive these cars back then. Basically a death trap in a very serious accident. Loved hearing David Hobbs on NASCAR and F1 broadcasts for many years. Sure do miss him and the crew on Speed Channel.

Love David Hobbs - such a brilliant mind and an incredibly versatile racing driver. And I totally appreciate that English wit...

Hobbs is the best color commentator in the history of racing announcers. His humor and mannerisms absolutely KILL me! XD

Carroll Smith, one of the lead engineers of Ford's GT40 effort in the 60s, said of Hobbs that he was remarkably careful and sympathetic to the machine in a time when very few drivers were - as well as, a consumate gentleman.

I am a big fan of the 60's- 70's Can Am series, so thank you for posting this fascinating film! Besides the interesting story about David Hobbs, I enjoyed seeing the details of his Ti 22 can am racecar.

Great vid! David was one brave dude, can only imagine how challenging and exhausting driving those monsters must have been..

Yes, his commentary in NASCAR and F1 when I was a kid in the 80's was always brilliant and memorable.
