There are some very nasty crashes in that footage. Some of them must have been fatal I'm sure. I'm so glad that we have much better safety equipment now in motor racing!

Amazing :tu:

harnesses and roll bars really show their reasoning here.

Mind you... i'd love to restore one of those old formula ones. The roar and breeze in the face would be full nostalgia :)

NO They weren't mental...

that is what it was like before Seat Belts and roll bars were invented... and no padded dashes either...
and laminated glass NOT safety glass in those old US cars

so, it was safer to be thrown out if you didn't have a padded dash or roll bar...
or collapsible steering column... YIKES

and DOUBLE TROUBLE

some early cars had a co driver?? in the passenger seat...
now they were mental... ??
just sitting there waiting to be thrown out...
