1979 Austrian Grand Prix

[KekeTheKing]

Hey guys, I just got the full race footage from Osterreichring 1979 and I wanted to share some of it with you while we still have two weeks before Turkey. The video quality is excellent but there is no commentary. I've added subtitles to some parts to help people follow the action.

This version is with the Natural Sounds only.

In this version I've taken the liberty of adding in some of 1979's finest tunes.

Let me know if you want to see more of this stuff.

Superb Keke, thanks! Good choice on The Clash toward the end there...

Brilliant Keke. My son just asked me if anyone ever ran over the bloke with the chequered flag?

You've got to love GV's start in that race

Let me know if you want to see more of this stuff.

Most definitely

My son just asked me if anyone ever ran over the bloke with the chequered flag?

Didn't he look thoroughly bored

Fabulous stuff Keke. They don't make them like that any more - circuits or drivers. Gilles is so much later on the brakes into Boschkurve than anybody else!

 

[Incubus]

Keke the great for Number 10!

 

[KekeTheKing]

Yeah, The O-Ring would have been amazing to drive around. Constant elevation changes, fast-sweeping bends, and enthusiasts camped around the entire circuit.

My favorite moment of the race was when Laffite dove in between Regazzoni and the lapped Ensign of Patrick Gaillard. From the long angle, it's impossible to tell how close he was to those two cars, but it couldn't have been much more than a couple inches.

Great drive from Jones too. After getting past Villeneuve, he walked away from the field.

This was the 3rd of 4 wins in a row for the Williams FW07 as well.

You've got to love JV's start in that race

I believe that sentence is 20 years too early!

 

[Brogan]

Whoops!
Edited.

 

[teabagyokel]

I think I love the Arnoux fuel stop!

no commentary is the best, you can hear the engines in full uninterrupted glory!
