·This just shows how you can't compare drivers from different eras... that thing looks undriveable by modern standards. Not to mention it looks like it's gonna shake itself to bits!

·He definitely wasn't pushing and gave it the respect it deserves. Such as fantastic sound, I wish racing was still like this.

·Looked like he was tootling around to be honest, every time he stepped on the gas it lurched sideways...

No rear-view camera, no parking sensors… these young drivers don’t know how to park a classic car when these gadgets are missing 😗
BTW, the TAG Heuer banner was very well placed there 😁

Mad respect to the driver's of that era. Makes one wonder how tough it must of been in those cars when the current F1 championship leader spins out on an exhibition lap.

·It seems brake failure was to blame, so at least Charles doesn't have to feel as much as an a$$.

·It was Niki's 1974 312B3 that was crashed, thank goodness it wasn't his '75 WDC 312T. Still a bummer though...

Oh! Thanks for the correction. It still is confusing to me since these mid 70’s F1 cars had different versions but basically the same. 👍
The modern drivers might clock the fastest laps (given advances in technology), but the golden era drivers had the balls of steel and probably greatest skills given what they drove back then 😉

·Yeah they look very similar. However the '75 car featured a transverse mounted transmission, which gave the chassis near perfect balance. Hence the name 312T.

·Watching that clip of Charles crashing again, isn't it amazing how big the track looks? Just shows how overly large the modern F1 cars are.

·This car had bad luck last year as well. Marco Werner took out Jean Alesi, while Alesi was leading and seemingly on his way to win the 2021 Monaco Historique GP in Niki's '74 312B3.
