This is a wonderful 47 minute DVD with coverage of the 1961 Monaco Grand Prix, which was won by Stirling Moss. This show is hosted by Bud Palmer and has a very good black and white picture. It even has an interview with Moss in a swimming pool a few days after his victory ! This a nice rare piece of auto racing memorabilia.
Here is some info about the race:
The 1961 Monaco Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on 14 May 1961 at Monaco.
21 cars showed up for the first race of the new 1.5-liter formula. The five "works" teams were guaranteed two spots each on the grid and Moss and Trintignant were in as past winners. That left nine drivers to fight over four spots. One spot did open up when Ireland, who would have qualified 10th, crashed in the tunnel and broke his leg. Ginther led Clark and Moss into the first corner but Clark quickly became a non-factor with a faulty fuel pump. Ginther fell to third on lap 14 when Moss and Bonnier passed him at almost the same time. At quarter distance Moss had an impressive 10 second lead but the Ferrari's of Hill and then Ginther found their way around Bonnier and began to close the gap. At half distance it was 8 seconds then 3 seconds at lap 60. Ginther moved into second on lap 75 and tried to close the gap but Moss was up to the challenge. They even set equal fast laps on consecutive laps: Ginther on lap 84, Moss on 85. |
