1962 GP de Monaco in tantalizing moving images

It is not very often that we see film footage like this. This material was shot at the 1962 Grand Prix de Monaco and is of a quality unseen before. To us, at least.

It starts with an E-type that, for some reason, is right in the race in between all the monopostos. A pace car? Or is it practice? We’d love to hear from you. What we do know is that The footage is part of a German made documentary that’s known as ‘Flying Clipper’ or ‘Mediterranean Holiday’.

The position from the E-type is soon to be changed to more conventional shots from the sides of the track, but these are of superb quality either. And then there are also shots taken from a tall building overlooking the track and harbor. And even tantalizing soundless images taken from a helicopter, flying along the coastline and following some of the cars.

We absolutely love it. And can only recommend you to enlarge the screen, turn up the volume, sit behind in your seat and enjoy this wonderful little film.
