Fangio gets in his Maserati wearing pleated khaki pants and then proceeds to drive on a track bordered by brush on tires that look to be 5 inches wide.

Did they run passes with the camera in a different spot each time? No camera is visible in any of the shots.

When juan fangio died in car race, the pope said he could not be buried in consecrated ground because the profession at its highest level was tantamount to suicide.

That is just a straight up lie, dipshit. Do you have Alzheimers?
Fangio died at the ripe old age of 84 from pneumonia in his bed.

Back when men were men.
Racing is too safe today and the cars have too much tire and too much downforce.

Cool video, that track look terrible. Wish it wash at old Monza, Spa, or Nurburgring.

True story.... that’s a really distant cousin of mine.

Great video especially the SL roadster, the 290mm, and testing an F1 in pleated dockers.

I watched a doc on Le Mans, Ford vs. Ferrari and Andretti said most drivers didn't wear seat belts back then because the cars were always exploding in fire after a crash back then and sometimes if you didn't crash and they'd rather take their chances getting thrown from the car then being trapped in a fire.
