Monaco Grand Prix 1962 - HQ 70mm footage - Flying Clipper

The track looks much bigger here with the smaller cars and without all the barriers of modern racing!

Fun Fact from the comments: The driver that spun at the 3:20 mark isn't Phil Hill as mentioned by the narrator. Instead, that's 'Wild' Willy Mairesse. Phil was actually the number 36 car that snuck past him and ended up finishing 2nd.

You can glimpse the camera laden sportscar and the swooping helicopter in this video.

Reminds me of the current rally footage we get of pedestrians close to race cars and their predicted pathways if something goes even slightly wrong...
