Hard to imagine a Leyland Princess cutting the mustard as a safety car in today's F1 😂

Yeah, it's amazing how different the weather is at both ends of the circuit! It's Jackie Stewart commentating.

Emerson Fitipaldi, a legend of world motorsport. The seventies were the best of the formula one era. 🇧🇷

Spotted that

1975 was the season with many rain races. Leaving the track was very dangerous at that time with all those fenches and poles. Later that season, Mark Donohoe was killed in practice during the Austrian Grand Prix when his front tyre exploded and hit the fenches and a pole split his helmet. The Britisch GP 1975 was in one way historic for Emerson Fittipaldi, because it was his last win ever in a F1 car.

I believe this was the race where Tom Pryce got his only pole. It was also nice to see some footage of Tony Brise too. Two of Britain's greatest hopes, but sadly they were both dead within two years of this race.

We drove down late Friday night and slept in the car, we stood on Copse for the race when all hell broke loose. The last time we saw Tony Brise in a race car.

I lived in England in the Mid '70s, as a kid. I had a huge laminated JPS Formula 1 Poster on my wall I received as a birthday gift. My father took me to a British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch, I think it was 1976. It was a very memorable experience. I witnessed a F1 car fly off the track heading directly toward me. I was behind the second of two tall chain link fences near one of the corners. During the race I got a JPS T-Shirt, and inflatable Goodyear Tyres Blimp. The John Player Special Race Vehicles in my opinion were absolutely awesome. The the Gold Trim and Gloss Black Paint Scheme, was stylized from their cigarette's flip-top box packaging. My father fabricated for me a "Mini-Formula 1" style go-cart with a motorcycle engine, however after it was finished he realized how insanely fast it was and I really didn't get to drive it..

This was the last time I actually attended a GP. They all went past us at Becketts.........then there was nobody !!! And only a few short months later we lost Tony Brise and Graham Hill and his team mates in that dreadful air crash. We went in a friends very ropey/rusty Jaguar Mk2 2.4 litre.......and it broke down on the M18 on the way home...but did get us home at 25 MPH or so with lots of rattling. I think a piston had gone, though I never found out.

In the race classification, Fittipaldi is classified as winner, but everyone else is listed as “crashed”. Absolutely insane in an era before the safety car was realised. It seems all drivers crashed at Stowe? What do you remember about the aftermath as a paying fan? Dangerous but thoroughly entertaining. Wow!

I think this clip may have come from two separate broadcasts. Jackie Stewart's call may have been from an edited tape that aired a week or so later on "Wide World Of Sports", while the finish of the race may have been from a (presumably live) British TV (BBC or ITV) broadcast of the race. For Stewart, it was the second major auto race he covered that year which ended early due to heavy rain. The Indianapolis "500" that year also was ended early due to rain.

@Zoomer30 The catch fencing was an early attempt to keep the cars from clouting the Armco walls at speed (predates tire walls, gravel traps, "grasscrete", and today's paved runoff areas). The theory was sound, but the fencing had the unintended effect of "catching" the drivers into their cars occasionally (nasty in case of fire, post-accident).

Early attempt to keep shunted cars from reaching Armco/concrete/etc at speed. Deemed a safety hazard in its own right, was eventually replaced by larger gravel & sand traps at every potential run-off area.

GRAZIE!!! Sono TORNATO RAGAZZINO.....lo vista in diretta!!!!

The formula 1 cars of the 70's with those huge airscopes were simply beautiful cars to watch.. cars such as the Ligier, the Brabham BT44/45, Surtees, Shadow, BRM, Ferrari and McLaren had magnificient lines. Nowadays all these diversity in design has gone lost (for obvious reasons).

I was there that day standing at Abby curve (it used to turn left in those days) with a good view all the way from Stowe, through Club and past Abbey into Woodcote. When the rain came it was monsoon like but only from Stowe down to Abbey. James Hunt in his Hesketh had just taken the lead as Fittipaldi pitted for wets but got caught out as he got to Club so he didn't win his and Hesketh's first GP.

The fencing also had the effect of injuring spectators! I was in the Woodcote grandstand and watched pieces of fencing being thrown into the crowd just in front of me.

Who was the smartypants who thought chain link fencing is a good runoff material?

WW Emerson and McLaren, a perfect mix of technic and audacity ! Emerson raced at home in Silverstone.

Catch fencing was used right into the 80s; one of the last was I believe Zolder 1982 where Nelson Piquet became trapped

Silverstone, right? Oh, WOW it looks different nowadays. I miss the old track.

0:20 - Dave Morgan in his only F1 race, with a temporary number #19 taped to the sides of the airbox! The other 12 drivers to crash were James Hunt, Jody Scheckter, Patrick Depailler, Jochen Mass, Carlos Pace, Mark Donohue, Tony Brise, John Watson, Brian Henton, Jean-Pierre Jarier, John Nicholson and Wilson Fittipaldi.

@alexminardi Yeah, its amazing when you get this type of weather in the summer on a large track, regardless of whether its a large road course like Silverstone, or a large 2.5 mile oval for NASCAR. You could be at one end of the track wondering what the devil is going on, why cars are pitting for wets, or why they are stopping the race, yet in the other end of the track, its just miserable in terms of weather.

It's pouring down rain!! Let's race!!

Emerson killin it!

I remember it very well, absolute mayhem.

at 1:04 is that a marshall thats been run over that they are helping, notice in the commentary Jackie Stewart changes what hes saying when he sees this

No it isn't, Its the original BBC coverage it was shown on ESPN classic last year. ESPN classic is available in the UK

@Zoomer30 Two years later in Kyalami, somebody DID got run over.

yes but in Spa it was just a stack-up, all the drivers crashing with each other, but in Nurburgring there were many cars flying off the track in the same corner, independently on each other, you know..thats what I meant.

good quality

Temporal de chuva e de carro batido, complicado mesmo!

In reguards to the fenceing, seems like decapitation could be an issue also.

Nurburgring 2007?

After this race the FIA revised the red flag rule so the result would be as per the positions two laps before the red flag, rather than the last completed lap. That is more likely to produce a fair result, by removing from the equation the jumbling up of the order that a red flag incident tends to cause.

Can anyone expalin the idea of the chainlink fencing....? Seems rather silly to me..

Shame this was Emerson Fittipaldi's last win in F1. Had he decided not to join his brother's Copersucar team, to make a "Brazilian" top team, he no doubt would have won more races. Well, he got a resurrection in CART racing though, still racing aged 49.

The team made great strides, from inception to the end of Emmo's f1 career around 5 years they went from nothing to 2nd and 3rd places, great progress, they could have gone either way, developing even faster and getting wins or being perenial backmarkers. That's the chance he took and if his head ruled over his heart like most drivers thirsty for wins would have, Emmo would have never have moved from established teams for given what happened when Emmo was away from F1 turned out to be a vanity project, if they were credible without Emmo's help, given the backing they had, they'd have carried on.

indeed, well spotted hilarious, yet deadly serious

I was there, but around at Woodcote, so we were pretty clueless about what had happened on the other side of the circuit. No TV monitors at the track back in those days, just a track announcer who you could barely hear. Who decided that chain link fencing supported by thick timber poles was a good "safety feature?" The mind boggles.

The governing body of this event is lucky the crashes weren't more serious and no onee died. I know this happened in the mid-70's, and that drivers had the option of going to the pits to change to rain tires, but the governing body of the event also has a responsibility to its drivers to maintain a safe course. The second cars started spinning out, a full course yellow should have been thrown.

Back when they were really racing drivers, not 'systems operators' as they are today.

It's todays drivers, ok it might not be as physical but they have to catch slides like they always have but also have to deal with someone talking and asking them questions, figuring out strategy, not just drive as fast as they can like they did in 75, manage deg, make adjustments, you seriously underestimate just what today's drivers do.
