For the past couple of days I have been downloading youtube motorsports uploads and ended up with an entire's evening viewing pleasure. The full documentaries can be close to an hour's worth. Here are a couple of good ones.

Amazing 1/3 scale fully functioning Ferrari 312PB

One man, completely dedicated, built from scratch, for all intents and purposes, a fully functioning, true to original Ferrari 312PB, but in 1/3 scale. Everything,...... the brake lines, the calipers, the transmission, every nut and bolt...literally everything..... was custom fabricated. He took 3 years to complete all the engineering drawings and a further 12 years to fabricate the car itself. He built the Flat 12 in minitaure LOL Unbelievable.

I'll keep posting them here as I find them and download them.

1984 GP of Monaco.

Notable for showcasing Senna's and Bellof's superb performances driving the unfavoured Toleman and Tyrell respectively. They were both in their first year of F1, drove the cr*p cars, but in a rain-deluged inclemental Monaco of 1984, these cars were in their element. Both were charging from the rear of the field. Note how Bellof was doing slides with impunity. Your commentators are the legendary James Hunt and Murray Walker. 8 parts

WRC Craziest Moments

They are indeed crazy. From death defying drives, insane crashes, and every extremes you can think of.... including bad weather, threading through packs of the local wildlife at high speed (both 4 and 2-legged variety). Check out that chase against a bunch of jokers on horseback LOL ...OK ,I just5 finished watching all of this.If you are not planning to see any of the other footage, you got to watch this one. It's awesome! With the extremes that rally drivers have to put up with, this kind of make F1 drivers look like a bunch of pu$$ies 10 parts

F1 Great Races - 1982 San Marino GP

A little background :-

A very entertaining scrap between teammates Didier Pironi and Gilles Villeneuve with the conclusion culminating in much controversy and bitterness. Under Ferrari management, it is customary for their cars to hold their positions and back off the pace once it becomes clear that 1 - 2 position is attained and can be maintained safely until the finish. In Ferrari's mind, there is no sense to push and risk not finishing a race if they have the win safely under their control. It was a traditional duty which Gilles honored on several occasions, including 1979 Monza GP where he dutifully fell behind Schekter's Ferrari and secure his teammate's tail as they both cruised to a 1 - 2 that gave Schekter his Driver's Title. Gilles understood and honored the tradition and he fully expected his 1982 teammate Pironi to do likewise. It was not to be in 1982. Despite pitboard instructions from Ferrari telling both drivers to slow it down and maintain their positions, Pironi kept up the pace and passed Villeneuve several times. Although still believing Pironi will honor the old tradition and eventually cede the leading position back to Villeneuve, Gilles was nevertheless forced to run at Pironi's pace or risk being left too far behind. This change in position occurred countless times, all the while with Villenueve getting increasinly perplexed with Pironi's behavior but still thinking Pironi is merely putting on a show for the tifosi. On the last lap, Pironi position himself and executed a pass on Villenueve before the Parabolica giving Villeneuve no chance to repass. At the podium celebrations, a digusted Villeneuve can be seen withdrawn and aloof whilst his teammate sprayed the bubbly. Villeneuve never again spoke to Pironi. Two weeks later, in the following Belgian GP at Zolder, Villeneuve had a fatal crash during qualifying. Over the years, commentators and drivers alike have suggested that the bitter events at San Marino 1982 had a bearing on Villenueve's emotional state that caused him to push himself (unreasonably to some) at Zolder in order to beat Pironi's qualifying time. At Zolder, Pironi had qualified faster and Gilles went out on a last ditch attempt to better the time before the conclusion of qualifying. It appeared that Gilles had not manage to beat Pironi's laptime on the hotlap. His qualifying tyres were spent and the pitboard gave instructions to him to come in as he went past the pits. At that point, Gilles should have simply toured and watch for traffic during the in-lap. He did not slow down his pace. To many people, it looked as though Gilles was going for another hotlap (on spent tyres). His Ferrari was coming up to the March of Jochen Mass (who had slowed to give himself a gap in the traffic for a hotlap). Mass saw Villeneuve and moved to the left to give the Ferrari the racing line to curve into the apex for the right turn corner. Unbelieving, Mass saw Gilles bearing down on him. In an instant, the Ferrari's left front wheel struck the March's right rear and catapulted the Ferrari into the air. The car flipped, landed on the grass, speared into the ground and barrel rolled nose to tail over several hundred yards, tearing itself to pieces. Gilles, still strapped to his seat was thrown clear and landed in the catch-fencing, fatally breaking his neck

The following is an interview with Villeneuve post-San Marino 1982, clearly showing his unhappiness with Pironi :-

someone posted the vids of the 1/3 scale Ferrari a few years back. That must have been before 2006, when I discovered Top Gear, because watching the clips again I swear it sounds like Jeremy Clarkson performing the interview and narration?

Unethical racing

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHtb9QryDZc

This looks to be a Honda VTEC Super 2000 event at Baen Saen Festival of Speed, Thailand. It's a good scrap but cheapened by some very, very unethical racing by the guy in the Yellow Integra DC5...weaving, multiple blocks, driving into the side of his opponent and deliberately wrecking a fellow competitor. Could have been a nasty accident. It didn't help that the victim waited for the Yellow to come around again and retaliated in kind.

Meet Burcu Cetinkaya. She’s 28-years old. She’s been rallying since she was a teenager and grew up idolising her dad’s all-wheel-drive Opel Calibra which she eventually owned and crashed a few times.

F1 1993 Donington Full Race

This is the full race at Donington 1993. The 13 parts combined to give viewing time of a little over 2 hours. You will see Senna's masterful brilliance in the wet overcoming the superior Williams of Prost and Hill whilst driving an inferior McLaren. It is a see-saw race with changing track conditions that alternated between wet and drying. The advantage tethered between Senna and Prost all through the race. In the several drying conditions, Prost goes on a charge with Senna skillfully and stubbornly working to maintain a gap between his lead and the Frenchman. Countless pit stops and tyre changes due to the conditions. Your commentators are Murray Walker and James Hunt

F1 1985 Preparations

I really like this one. 10 minute documentary with soundtrack showing the preparations leading up to the Monaco GP. It's a bit like the opening footage of the movie LeMans when you see close-up shots of mechanics, drivers, officials, spectators going about their business of preparing for the race-start.....cars prepped, helmets cleaned, suiting up, signing autographs etc. Seems like in those days, the F1 paddock and drivers were much more accessible, and the racing appear to be much better too.

Racing Stewart

The opening season of Jackie Stewart's foray into F1 as team owner. Interesting to watch the inner workings of what goes on in the running of an F1 team. 6 parts

Red Bull Racing 2009 Factory Tour

Some of the equipment at Milton Keynes is amazing. Check out the 'Rapid Prototyping' Unit. Precision lasers hooked up to car schematics in a computer and they actually build a solid scaled shape of the car from the vat of liquid resin in real time by solidying the resin with the lasers.

F1 1991 Full Races

If you have a rapidshare account, you can download all the full length races of the 1991 season from this link at broadband speeds. Most of these are narrated by BBC with the exception of the Phoenix race (ESPN). The Phoenix GP alone is a whole night's worth of entertainment at 2 hours long. All of the race footage are between 1:30 to over 2 hours long :-



F1 1982 Highlights by the BBC

Again, uou need a rapidshare account to download at broadband speeds for these files, but they are very good highlights by the BBC on every race of the amazing 1982 season, hosted by Murray Walker and James Hunt. About between 35 to 40 minutes for each highlight. With 16 races in the calendar, that's a lot of viewing time :-



Ken Block & Chris Atkinson rallying 1978 Ford Escort

I used to drive a Ford Escort and its nice to see how they did an extensive job at turning this old beater into a rally car.
