Regazzoni after the race: "they must have mistakenly given me Lauda's car...."

Gilles del 23° al 3° 😯😯

Few people realise this was the race that - in retrospect - effectively decided the 79 WDC. Remember that in this year the drivers could only count their best 4 results from each half of the season. So had Villeneuve not run out of fuel just 200 metres from the finish he would have collected his 4 points and after the next race the first half of the season would have finished with Jody on 30 points and Gilles on 24. In the second half of the season Gilles outscored Jody by 6 points, meaning they would have tied on 51pts apiece. They also had 3 wins each, but Gilles would have won the WDC due to scoring more 2nds than Jody. Talk about fine margins. How much fuel was needed for 200 metres? 1 litre? 2 litres? Forza Gilles. Forza Jody.

Wooooooow, my childhood.... Dad had a firm with 7 Trucks and two workshops... So you understand that this was my everyday... I drove ALL of the tracks in the world, competing dads employees at my Scalextric race... And I had 12 meters of running track!!! Theese names are just..❤ Theese names are just wooooooow This is my childhood... Love from Sweden 💖

Man, I attended this race I was 8 years old Loved F-1 ever since. I wish they would bring F-1 back to Long Beach!

Great footage. Thanks for posting! 👍

full race?

3:11 Starting Grid

When it was his day it was his day. When you can win here and in Nurburg like 74 with such a margin, you're great

There were 5 Lotus cars in this race - Rindt, Hill, Miles, Bonnier & Siffert.

Love the Lotus 79, possibly because I had an Airfix slot car version which was my favourite.

I was at this race. In fact, I was at the inaugural race in September 1975, which was an F-5000 race. I still have the programs for both races. Over the years I went to 3 F1 races at Long Beach and about a dozen Champ Car races there. I won't go there for Indy Car though. I won't even watch it on TV.

What is the one called where he’s a police officer?

Thx for posting. This was my first F1 Race attended in person. I was able to pickup one of the cars tire/wheel combination with one hand (as a young boy) and was astonished as to how lightweight the combination was. Put a new respect in my mind as to how awesome these cars and equipment really were/are.

Now they're both gone. Thanks for the memories, gentlemen.

Why the hell were they sharing a microphone? Couldn't the BBC afford two?

final turn would be easily flat now

Last race for tall airboxes. They certainly defined the 70's in F1.

Brilliant. As a kid I listened to the race on US Armed Forces Radio. Just wonderful F1. Real racing - now no more

Yesteeday 38 years of death of Gilles Rip ! 😥

lorenzo bandini 😢

So good to hear Andrew Marriott. Hes a great commentator. If itv got the rights instead of bbc in 1978 (I think) we may never have heard of Murray Walker. Andrew still does a bit of pit reporting today in the 24h series. The mans a legend.

wait, what was going on with the colin chapman situation in the beginning?

stupid music

I saw Jody do some laps around the track at the Monza GP this year in his championship winning Ferrari. The Tifosi where very appreciative of him and its nice to see him get the recognition he deserves. He beat Gilles in the same machinery after all.

RIP James and Nicki

Clark was a genius. Shame they cut out the changes of position

more pussy ...than most guys get in a life time...

A classic of his time. I remember waiting with Bated breath, at public school, to hear that he had won the '76 championship. Good film too.

Thank you for the post! Bringing back memories of so many nice people James, Niki, Ayrton and Murray

This is super. Thank you for posting. From an outsider looking in I have often thought Colin Chapman treated Graham Hill not as well as he should have. He was World Champion for Lotus in 1968! Amon never did win a GP, one of the best who never did win a race.

"The clutch went offline and the gear lever came off in lap 2!!" What a guy. I was too young to see him race but his co-commentary was truly special, Walker and Stewart nailed it in their tributes. I still maintain their analysis and especially Hunt's, was a big factor in me falling love with F1 back in the day.

James, in all the sex-drugs-rock-and-roll lifestyle he had, was firm in his stance against the apartheid in South Africa back then, to the point that he refused to fly there to commentate.

To see so many legends of the sport in this documentary is so shocking.

His accent was so good to listen to!

Sad day today ..

Genio el Lole

Alguém sabe qual o nome do programa em que o James Hunt fez participação no momento 14: 39 minutos?🇧🇷 Does anyone know the name of the show on which James Hunt made participation at the time 14 minutes and 39 seconds?

Legend.

The f1 of today lack characters like james hunt, or any character at all, even lauda was a unique character for his really strict and calculated attitude contrasting to james hunt's more flamboyant and carefree attitude, the drivers of today are just PR machines.

Todays announcer sucks.

Hunt, like Walker, was a great F1 commentator. Loved Hunts insight on the over all race that he was covering.

That incident on the grid cost Colin Chapman two days in the nick!

I'm a new fan. He's so f***ing fearless and a magnificently talented driver.

It's so amazing to see these old classic races. Great win for Ferrari and Jody. Forza Ferrari!

‘His name is James Hunt, known as ‘the shunt’, what he likes best is a nice...glass of milk!’ Glory days! What a character. As a young teen I idolised him.

What happened between the Honda leading at 5:30 and 5:50 when they were "lining up for the finish?" Guess we should not care how Clark got the lead, sigh. Curious editing in any event.

I love LOTUS

EPIC

How cheap was the BBC that they can only afford one mic?
