F1 Found Footage? Backmarker 04/14/15 (Tue) 20:06:16 e39197 No. 5098
I don't know exactly what to call this, but seeing vintage video that captures the feel of a grand prix weekend, particularly if it's home video, is really a compelling expression of the appeal of Formula 1. This is some 8mm or similar format film (projected in the wrong aspect ratio and recorded with a shitty camera) taken at the 1969 United States Grand Prix by the YouTube poster's father. It's just fascinating for me to see what a teenager then saw and decided to record. Post things like this in this thread (photos too)

YouTube embed. Click thumbnail to play. This video of several summer races at the now demolished Keimola raceway in Finland is another example of what I mean.

YouTube embed. Click thumbnail to play. Save for the terrible music added, this video of the 1970 Singapore Grand Prix is similar.
