A great quote by a great man

In this scene, the two cars we see are F3 cars dressed up to resemble actual cars in the race that year. The chase car is a Ford GT40. The camera is a Panavision 65 camera. If you watch the supplementary extras with the Gran Prix DVD, you'll see the mounting system required to attach one of these beasts to the cars for the in car shots.

By the way, all grand prix races and people in that movie are fictional. That means Jean Pierre's death never really happened or even existed. Although cameo appearances of REAL race car drivers at that time did make an appearance. Graham Hill for example. He was shown in that one scene where that one guy went crazy over alchohol after the race in... either Zandvoort or Spa.

It's true that the characters in the film are fictional and their racing scenes are staged, however, live footage of the actual races in the 1965 season was used in the racing action sequences. Graham Hill and Phil Hill had credited parts in the movie. Graham Hill has some spoken lines, at the post race party in Monaco and at the driver's meeting at Monza. Phil Hill also had some lines, at the Brands Hatch race, he exclaims when seeing that Pete Aron's car is leaking fuel and again when it catches fire. He also drove the GT40 chase car.

@@constipatedparker5879 It's called LIFE, Constipated - and Grand Prix racing isn't a 'safe space' sport. For your information, it was the promoters and circuit owners who were reckless by failing to enact (expensive) safety standards. The drivers were just trying to make a living. You can't be 'reckless' and drive a F1 car - you won't live long enough to become reckless. These men, and yes they were all men, were extremely capable and thanks to the likes of Jackie Stewart (et al) were instrumental in pushing for elevated safety standards. This boomer concludes by saying : KISS MY ASS! As hard as it may be for you to understand..... Those were indeed great days before subsequent generations fucked everything up. Take a look around....

People here are confused. This is not scenes from the movie. It's actual footage of Monaco 1966. Phil Hill drove a Lotus 25 equiped with a forward camera for the generic racing scenes that didn't involve the actors. While it's true the actors drove F-3 cars and the camera car was a modified GT40. This is neither of those.

That was quite pleasing on the ears. thanks!

Driving a GP car round Monaco - "like trying to fly a helicopter in your front room" as Alessandro Nannini put it.

There are many pictures to be found on the web, where one can see the big, bulky Panavision FILM cameras mounted on the racing cars. They only used TV cameras in the Ford GT camera car, so the camera operator could see how to aim the film cameras mounted outside the cockpit.

Kool!

Clive ... the cars are not original F1 cars, but the Montecarlo track is the original one. In many parts of the track there were no guard rails, so if an F1 car came out of the track it ended up against a wall or a street lamp and to "protect" the most dangerous points they had put some hay bales, which in the case of Bandini, they take immedialtely fire making the situation worse. Safety was just an option.

Monaco is one of a kind. Always shifting and steering while trying to drive as fast as you can.

35mm cinema film was basically Kodachrome which is extremely fine grained with a wide dynamic range and excellent color reproduction. Sad Kodak did away with it. I still have my 35mm SLR and would happily use it if I could still get that film. And this was 70 mm film stock.

Pain can induce shock, which can lead to heart attacks, and other shock-related effects (or symptoms?)

crazy how everything has developed over 45 years

Gonna quote myself here; "No matter how much materials you put next to you, the lateral forces will always apply to the whole car." In open wheel cars, smashing against the wall sideways can result in a tyre hitting your head, (see Ayrton Senna, he would've walked away from his fatal 1994 crash if the tyre hadn't smashed his head). There will ALWAYS be a huge amount of pain when crashing ESPECIALLY sideways. It's safer to crash from the front, since then the forces have to travel through more.

Cool

Graham & Phil hill are both shown in the opening sequence as well. I like how the guy Barlini tried hard to make himself look like Lorenzo Bandini for the movie.

I wish they'd have made the clip a bit longer.

@djonasch You should get the fillm on BluRay it is probably one of the best looking films Iv ever watched.

This is the Car from Pete Aron (James Garner)

damn that car sounds like my ducati .... COOL :)

Some comments here that they are F3 cars made to look like F1 of the day. However, this may not be accurate. I know that on some tracks Phil Hill drove a F1 car with a camera mounted on the nose in the actual race. The scenes at Spa as the car drove into the rain storm was filmed during the race in this manner. Certainly there were F3 cars dressed as F1 but I thought they were for the scenes where the actors were shown driving.

If physically possible, I think modern F1 should try this Tabac to Gazometre hairpin (final corner) configuration again. May have some chance of overtaking into the last hairpin.

The single most interesting fact about "Grand Prix" was that it guaranteed the future for the Bruce McLaren Motor Racing Team. He painted his cars up like the fake Japanese team, for money, and he did trie very hard to get it all sorted to race properly, but the Ford V8 and the Serenisima V8 were both too heavy and lacking in power. Bruce was always great at getting what he needed when he needed it.

Panavision 70 mm film cameras, I believe.

The tunnel was really short back then

Wow

They actually used normal film cameras, with custom made rigs and remote control turrets to change camera angles. Movies at the time did not use video technology at all, which couldn't have provided the level of definition as you could see here, especially if they had to make the equipment compact enough to fit on a race car without compromising quality, which was already marginal at best. The moon landing footage was very grainy compared to what was achievable in film then.

Is that Jackie Stewart in a BRM passing maybe a Honda at the beginning?

This is cut a little short - it is actually one shot of an entire lap of Monaco. Audio was edited together from another source. Grand Prix was very mediocre as a film, but the race footage has never been equaled cinematically. I saw it when it came out (in CINERAMA!), and I have it on VHS and DVD - gotta get a Blu-Ray now! It is my favourite film of all time, for all the wrong reasons!

That's because it was. It was a genuine tunnel cut into the cliff face and passed under the train station. The station was demolished and a hotel built in its place. The replacement "tunnel" is not a tunnel in the true sense. It is really an underpass which goes under the basement of the hotel.

Quoting myself AGAIN here, "(see Ayrton Senna, he would've walked away from his fatal 1994 crash if the tyre hadn't smashed his head)." Pain is within the brain, a test dummy can not sense pain. Neither can calculations. Pain can only be measured once it is experienced. So the crash tests won't do anything vs pains. Look up some crashes w/ interviews after. Usually they'll say they felt sore and shit.

Yeah, tell Karl Wendlinger and Jenson Button that.
