Vintage Formula 1 at Monaco this weekend!

There are several vintage Formula 1 races this weekend in Monaco. Several, by age groups.
(a certain forum member, a lefty, is quite familiar with one!)

The Automobile Club of Monaco has a YT stream channel, with some races, again, by era.

- I am assuming the streams will stick pass the live session?
- some information sources (racedaywatch) say they will have all races, but their YT channel shows only two - puzzling.

A quick glance show that there is a pre-war class, with, certainly, some dainty Brit contraptions worth a look!

Very cool. With theaters running classic movies I was really hoping for another showing of grand prix. I'd love to see that big its full sound.
Maybe a double header w Le Mans

It was quite interesting to see how the designs evolved over time.. and virtual lack of safety features.

A few Cooper and Lotus cars of the era are at the Rev Museum in FL, and they look so light and agile, some excellence in design. Oops I forgot, there are a couple of Bugattis there as well, interesting design and quality finish.
Nowadays F1 cars are more like fighter jets, lots of hot tech, but not so friendly-looking.
