The 1966 Formula 1 Grand Prix at Monaco

Here's some great archive footage of the 1966 Formula One Grand Prix in Monaco, as Jackie Stewart, Lorenzo Bandini, Graham Hill and Jim Clark fought for victory in what was an epic encounter.

The classic Castrol film 'Race Against Time' demonstrates the variety of sports that used timing devices made at the Longines Watch Factory in Switzerland by showing them in action at sports events.

Events featured include the Monte Carlo Rally, The Motor Boat World Chamionships at Aix-Les-Bains, the Mont Ventoux Hill Climb, The Tour De France Cycle Race and the 1966 Monaco Grand Prix.

A Monaco Grand Prix when you actually could see the buildings and streets of Monaco

Back in the day of beautiful F1 cars, great competitive racing and romantic courses.

No wings, no ground effects - just pure driver skill.

Sorry, but the absolute balls to go through that chicane at full speed

And that, children, is what a Formula One car sounded like.

During the time that the crew was in Monza for the shooting I won a race and at the award ceremony Francoise Hardy gave me a kiss for the victory. After this victory, the director made me do the stunt driver for the actors. There was a beautiful girl who is still my wife and sometimes she reminds me of this episode. Memories now too distant in time!
Durante il periodo in cui la troupe era a Monza per le riprese ho vinto una gara e alla premiazione Francoise Hardy mi ha dato un bacio per la vittoria. Dopo questa vittoria, il regista mi ha fatto fare lo stuntman per sostituire gli attori nei passaggi in pista ad alta velocità. C'era lì una bella ragazza che è ancora oggi mia moglie ed a volte mi ricorda questo episodio. Ricordi ormai troppo lontani nel tempo! I sub your channel, cheers Fabrizio

Another fact from this race was that only 4 cars were classified as finishers, the least amount of finishes of any F1 race.

F1 1960 be like *posh* no heroics into saint devot now, you’re in amongst the pack and we want to come out in 1 piece

Brilliant win for Jackie, he also nearly won Indy that year, but his terrible crash in Belgium set him back. He took a long time to be back to his best again, the car didn't help of course, his next GP win was in 1968 after he left BRM.

Nice to see film of the actual 1966 cars instead of clips from "Grand Prix."
(Gotta admit that the MGM crew who fabricated the movie's cars did a darn good job of making them look right.)

Love the packet of Gauloises on the desk. Woof!

Just 2 years after winning the '64 Formula 3 race at Monaco.
Jackie apparently had acquired a taste for dining beside Son Altesse Sérénissime at the Champions' Ball . . .

Azerbaijan and Monaco alwyas have something fishy for us
