- Motorpsorts came back with a bang after World War II and the cars got faster and drivers quickly adapted to the increased speeds and improved handling. Two of the standouts in this era, bridged the the pre and post War worlds, Juan Manuel Fangio was the veteran and a young Stirling Moss was rising to the top.
The Maserati team soared to victory at Sebring in 1957 with Moss #20 Maserati coming in second and Fangio and co-driver Jean Behra in the #19 Maserati taking first.

I saw this race live! I was sixteen, and a friend and I rode our motorcycles up from Lake Worth, Fl. where we lived. We spent most of our time at the "hairpin" turn and the "esses" just before the hairpin as I remember. We each had a few dollars for food and drinks, and bedrolls for sleeping between the bikes after the race (happy it didn't rain), then left the next morning for home. It was FANTASTIC to actually see the drivers we knew were legends then and are now, and to see and hear the sounds of those fantastic race cars of that period...!!! We both came back again in 1958 for more of the same... WOW, life is good when you're young and free....
Thank you for sharing your memories. It would have been fantastic to see this race.
One of most interesting visual sights was to see the brake drums and a very few brake disks, glowing bright red and all the way to bright yellow as the cars ran by after dark...! Most of the cars had wire wheels and it was easy to see the brakes.
Lucky guy. That was a classic, better than my 61'
When I saw the title I wondered whether it was a different Sebring... Fangio's co driver wasn't Moss, it was Jean Behra, and his contribution was huge. Give the man the respect he deserves.
Fangio/Behra drove the monster Maserati 450 S V8, Moss raced the less powerful but more reliable 6 in line 300S
this footage is amazing!!
the quality
but whats you can see
the cars are amazing, they are surviving 12h pure high level racing. Especially on the straight, the high rpms. And look at the people standing 1-3 meters away from the cars with nothing inbetween and on the straight while they racing.
I also have to mention the drivers fangio, moss etc
it is pure joy watching it
1950's the golden era, greats cars greats drivers
Ferrari, Maserati, Alpha Romeo, Mercedes Benz, Fangio, Moss, Collins....all legends
Genial los pilotos
"alpha" xD
Alberto Ascari, Mike Hawthorn, Jack Brabham
Thank you for uploading this incredible footage. Jean Behra has always been one of my favourite drivers. He was completely fearless, and seeing him wrestle that unwieldy beast of a 450S around Sebring gave me goose bumps. Too bad he's almost forgotten now, as the title of this video demonstrates.
I enjoy this old races so much. Thanks for share
Sebring gives cars a real beating, perhaps the roughest race course at this highest level of racing. I drove it at speed in my brand new street Porsche 944 a couple hours after the 1984 race and was really surprised, particularly on the long concrete runway straights. It’s incredible that any of these cars can survive it for 12 hours. I never enjoyed or understood that car as much as in that single banzai lap.
Thank you. There's more to come. Stay tuned.
Glorious victory of Tridents!
What a team Fangio and Moss...
8:04 what a legend, pushing those cars for 12h thats crazy
ITS WRONG... the winners was Fangio with Jean Behra... Moss was second!
I LOVE this vintage auto racing!! Thank you for posting. Cheers!
+18 tangles
Fangio actually set the course record at this race in one of the Corvettes.
After qualifying Dunatov let both Moss and Fangio take the SS out for a couple of laps. Juan Manual promptly set the course record.
Folks tend to also forget that at this point in time the SBC was far more reliable in endurance race distances than the competition. Racers made fun of the Chevy's until you saw one run at 5500 rpm for 24 hrs😇
that SS was constructed of magnesium. It became so internally hot that running hard twelve hours would have cooked the drivers into a charbroil fillet.
I guess wallowing around corners didn't hurt them that much... Yeah, big iron pushrods, the future of the sport.
Sorry, just having fun.
Too bad GM dropped out of racing.
@@ChimeraActual The Chevy small block is _the_ most race-winning engine in the history of the world. So, yeah. It _was_ the future of motorsport back then.
There s nothing like speed freedom of racing around an airport wide wide road ways....visibility around corners is 100percent I drove Sebring on a SIMULATOR and loved it and was talking about how I love airport race tracks an someone who raced there told me it was an airport I got that feeling about by the way its sprawls out around the property...rewarding hard charging racing...thanks I guess when they bought the property they bought the bomber too I saw some in the back of another video...but wow look at all of them....
Back in those days till the gladiators of motor racing
3:05 and 3:07 Another two eternal legends amongst legends.
Edit: accidentially activated YT text assist "but closing in fast in fourth position is *on Vera* in number 19 Maserati. *Pyrrha* , a French driving ace is co-driver with world champion, *one Punch* '. Thanks for the laugh.
The Fairchild C-82s and C-119 Box Cars were still there in 1964
RC-121 Connies came a bit later...

Excellent Archive material of a bygone era.

Dang that's a ah big piece of property OMG now that's a straightaway.....wow those maseratis were hauling....
Fangio The best!!
Soda_84 this man saw so many tings in his live he raced pre war fought the war and dominated the 50's in f1 and after that he lived till the 90's
Decades later I was fortunate enough to be part of Dan Gurney's All American Racers team with his nephew Juan Manuel Fangio and Andy Wallace winning the 12hr of Sebring in the All conquering Eagle Mk III prototypes.
Moss said Fangio was the best driver.Stirling Moss was his teammate at Mercedes mid 50’s . Moss was not short of ego but he said in book he wrote, when Fangio was his teammate that at at the German Grand Prix that Fangio would leave him for dead at a different place on the 14 miles plus track at every lap. Moss said that Fangio was easily the best of his time.
@@beagle7622 No doubt about that. Outside of F1though Moss was superior in various other forms of racing, his 1955 Mille Miglia win is generally regarded as the greatest drive in racing history. Moss's career consisted of 529 races in many different types of cars, he won 212 of them.
El mejor piloto y con un gran resto conductivo de la década del 50 un fuera de serie MOSS!!!!
🇦🇷
Fangio...... THE BEST
Why isn't the title of the video "
Fangio and Behra win Sebring 1957"?
great footage
Thank you.
Wow now that's a race course 5 miles originally....nice that is my only complaint about Sebring is that it short,but it makes up for its length by being challenging....and a work out....
I LOVE THIS !
Nice race...in an era when drivers had courage and character and cars were real beasts.
P.S The song is superb where can I find it?
Vaughan Monroe Singin...Love The Fairchild 119s & 123s on the Tarmac...They'd Be Back ln Action ln Nam!
1:54 "Corvette #2 has been modified to improve high-speed handling..." By removing the engine? That would sort of work, but then again, it wouldn't.
knarFkcalB Easier to load onto the airplane so you can drop it.
En que momento aparecen Meteoro y el Escuadron Acrobatico?
😂😂😂😂
The singer sounds like Vaughn Monroe.
Fangio in corvette wow.
I like that rule driver out fuel in tires car off...that's the way racing should be let em put their own gas in too....
Portago with the cigarette... live fast die young
Unfortunately, he did at the Mille Miglia later that year on May 12th, along with his co-driver, Edmund Nelson, and nine spectators. That wreck brought the end to the Mille Miglia.
@@MrGaryGG48 Peter Collins also died the following year in the Geman Grand Prix. Jean Behra died in a crash in 1959.
@@andyelliott8027 Racing at the top levels was unbelievably dangerous in that period. Losing 3-4, sometimes 5 drivers in a season wasn't unheard of. Today, none of those cars would pass tech inspection! Through the 1990s I was an SCCA Safety Marshall and occasional Tech Inspector. Even then, the standards were much improved over the 50's and 60's. I can just imagine what served as "Safety Standards" in Grand Prix racing before WWII.
@@MrGaryGG48 The correct number of wheels.
Corvette SS looks ridiculous out there.
La ganó fangio
🏁🎅
muy parecido a las carreras de meteoro..
Ja ja ja es así !!
Miro esto y la musica suena en mi cabeza 😁
No eran autos antiguos, je..
Prince Bira is from Thailand not France.
The driver at Sebring was Jean Behra, a Frenchman. But you're right, Prince Bira (Prince Birabongse Bhanudej Bhanubandh - thanks Wikipedia) was from Thailand, He retired from racing at the end of the 1955 season.
Great drivers, but the course and safety NIL
To bad that they didn't show any of the lesser cars, 750cc, 1&2 liter that must've got blasted by the big boys.
Leccion de automovilismo del chueco Fangio, ninguneado siempre en USA.. una pregunta..al pobre Renault Gordini q se veía girando. ..cuántas vueltas le sacaron ?
No creo, era el idolo de Steve Mc Queen un fanatico de las carreras y de tantos otros como Elvis Presley y James Dean, Fangio no era un desconocido
Lo tuyo es complejo de inferioridad
@@etiquetanegra757 la única vez q lo invitaron a correr Indianápolis lo chicanearon q no era un corredor de primer nivel, pese a q ya tenía 4 campeonatos..... como era el Chueco, no se iba a achicar , pero le dieron de lastima una carreta, no un auto...lo probo pero desistio con razon de no hacer un papelon...independientemente de parecerle estupido girar en un circuito con curvas a la izquierda unicamente....no es complejo de inferioridad, es información que a vos te falta Etiqueta....
Marcelo Becerra, lo de Indy sucedió tal cual lo dijiste vos.. incluso en la noche le cambiaron el MOTOR por otro mas usado, de miedo que les gane... en el primer intento del primer día, Fangio le había bajado dos segundos al tiempo de Paul Russo.. el dueño del auto..
Que hace la bandera de Venezuela allí😃
You would need a spare arse to ride that many hours.
