The Forgotten Formula One Race Track of Barcelona-Montjuïc

- More beautiful and more defiant than Monaco. Loved by both drivers and public in the late sixties and seventies, the hilly Montjuic circuit near the city-centre of Barcelona was an excitingly challenging racetrack. However... disaster struck during the 1975 Spanish Grand Prix.
I was a 11 boy when I saw Ickx, Hulme, Andretti, Stewart, (my hero then), Pescarolo, Cevert, Rodrigres el Pedro, and so. I could never forget.
Races change, today is not the same. Well, whole world changes, 8s it nostalgia? 🥰🤗
The circuit took you about six minutes and the race lap record is 1:23.8 (Ronnie Peterson, Lotus-Ford, 1973). :)
Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much, Brings back memories I was there for 1973 Grand Prix
Not forgotten at all. Still my favorite track. It was stunningly beautiful, and drivers loved it.
On this track, in 1971, slicks were used on Formula 1 cars for the first time. They could only use it in the race as practice was wet and treaded tyres where needed. From what I could tell in this video, a roundabout near the end of the lap would prevent any notion of having a race there, today. Presumably, that roundabout was not there in the 1970s.
Yes, it wasnt there at that time
I think for the 1977 race they were going to put a chicane around that point to slow them down though, anyway
At the 1975 GP, Lella Lombadi became the only women ever to finish in the points, 6th for 1/2 point (due to shortened race half points were awarded)
Lella Lombardi... LOMBARDI.....If you don't mind.....
I was 150 meters before Rolf Stommelen accident, the only race Jochen Mass won...
Pity wold turns a round everyday, now is not the same. It's "politically correct", for good or bad...🤔
It ended with 4 casualties, not five, acording to nationals media one was severely injured but luckly ended up recovering, it seems in foreign media these good news never arrived so you can find a lot of foreign sources telling about 5 casualties while all national sources mention 4 casualties
11:10 Jochen Rindt leading the 1969 Montjuic GP in his Lotus 49 before his wing collapsed, which incident
lifted his car from the ground and let it fly 2 metres above the ground at its peak before crashing into the guardrails.
That was awesome. Thanks R
Fascinating video
Thanks for the drive around the circuit was very interesting. Looks like a fast sweeping track. Shame it had a terrible accident.
Bellissima testimonianza. Grazie!
Aqui no Brasil a coragem de Emerson Fittipaldi em não aceitar correr em 1975 é sempre lembrada.
Thanks for the video, great stuff! (music kind of too epic, but that's a thing of personal preferences I guess)
im from the neoghbourhood and i can tell u this is really good stuff. If there really was a will to bring this back it'll be possibe, just increase safety measures like they did in Monaco.
Not now there is the circuit at Montmelo and particularly after there was a classic event a few years ago on the Montjuich circuit when it was supposed to just be a procession and not even a race and someone got killed in an accident. They don't even have the classic event on the old circuit now, they have the 'spirit of Montjuich' event at Montmelo.
@@NonFlyiingDutchman wow ur really well informed. We could argue about many factors but bottomline i think it Will never come back as its in an urgent need for remodelations. That Espiritu de Montjuïc thing is true but i can tell u is bullshit hahahah
Probably the most beautiful F1 street circuit ever.
5:35 "Font del Gat" i.e "Cat's Fountain" or "Cat's spring"... LOL... Catalan dialect sometimes seems so close to our Northern-Italian dialects. In this case it's just the same, "fònt del gàt" o "fònt dal gàt".
get rid of that boring baku track and bring back this beauty as the european gp
More simple: Catalonian gp
Nah, impossible. This even is most dangerous than Nordschleiffe
bel video!
Beautiful track!! Such a pity Spain is not Monaco...
Nacho RA if Spain where Monaco, I'd say things would be thrown off to the point where there'd be major trouble LOL
*"were" [were Spain Monaco]
Catalonia, my friend!
One of the best. Only for real men, not for children.
Could somebody please tell me at which place exactly from the circuit the horrible crash of Rolf Stommelen took place?
Just after the Olympic Stadium, when it began the downhill before the Angle de Miramar
Old school urban track like real drivers wants to run... Problem is, wider rear tires than front, with the banking speed curves and bumps... At that time was so dangerous...
Nowadays is short. The time would be 1 min/lap. But it would be posible to do it more long.
No, it's exactly the same length, just there's a new roundabout in the Sant Jordi's uphill (is visible in this video) and the section between the right-handed corner to go into the Olympic Stadium and the Stadium itself is slightly different, but with almost the same lenght.
Old cirquits belong to old cars, driver personalities and balls, big as bowling balls. Nothing left of it in these days.
the music are TO LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -1
Five people killed out of 75. Fittipaldi was right, it increased my admiration for him as a champion and above all a human being.
Forgotten?
Very interesting but please remove the annoying music.
hum...... over 400 horsepower, about 1,600 pounds with fuel and driver - slicks and wings - sounds about right - that's when men were men and women were glad of it........
Great video and really appreciate the track lap but your driving was atrocious
La música sobra. Es una mierda.
Comportamento absolutamente idiota de Emerson Fittipaldi ao condenar um circuito perfeito, altamente exigente e desafiador. Passados mais de cinquenta anos muita coisa ainda está escondida sobre isto, um absurdo, havia (e ainda há) circuitos muitíssimos mais perigosos e que continuam operando, como esses absurdos circuitos "Mickey Mouse", de parques de estacionamento, uma escrotidão total.
Discordo totalmente. Absurda essa observação! Acompanhei todo o dilema da semana desse GP, à época. Fittipaldi agiu com absoluto bom senso. Alertas foram dados durante toda a semana do GP, mas houve absoluta displicência dos organizadores. A associação de pilotos, capitaneada por Stewart, à época, cedeu covardemente aos construtores.. Resultado: 5 mortes que poderiam ter sido perfeitamente evitadas, caso seguissem o sensato Fittipaldi, que mostrou porque era campeão do mundo. Alias a poucos dias percorri a pé todo o trajeto do antigo circuito. Realmente muito bonito, mas totalmente temerário. Parabéns Fittipaldi, o campeão sensato em uma época que morriam, em média, três pilotos por temporada.
Eres un muy mal conductor.
