That is some amazing footage. Hard to imagine now closing down a city for a day for a race. I guess being not merely a city but a principality has something to do with that. And the people lining the track, wow, and this was 7 years after the Le Mans disaster.

I didn't realize the survival rate was that poor. Then again you look at those cars, not much by way of saftey features. But grand prix was more raw in that day, more cool IMO. I liked the late 60s era, Jack Brabham and gang.
