Nine Days In Summer

A highly collectable programme that concentrates on the exciting 1967 debut and development of the Ford DFV engine in the back of the Team Lotus cars of Jim Clark and Graham Hill. The footage is interspersed with action from 9 GP races. Fascinating!

Thank you very much again for this fine documentary about Lotus and the Ford Cosworth DFV.

http://www.intothered.dk/1967season/67season_root.html

This link gives race reports as they appeared in Motorsport during 1967.

1966
New Formula introduced. There was widespread use of uprated 1.5 litre machinery until the new generation of 3.0 Litre engines became available.

1967
Focused around engine performance, the Repco 3.0 litre V8 in the lightweight Brabham chassis took the Championship while the 3.0 litre Cosworth-Ford set new standards. Aerodynamics were already in the minds of some, Brabham and Lotus both used spoilers at Spa and a ‘bubble cockpit canopy and gearbox shroud was used at Monza by Brabham.

1968
The Cosworth-Ford 3.0 litre DFV, made available for customers and fitted to McLaren, Matra and Lotus cars dominated the results. Wings were introduced at Spa on the Brabham and Ferrari but were developed rapidly by Lotus. Firestone YB11 tyres worked well but engine power outstripped available traction making way for some to plan four-wheel drive concepts.

1969
A 500Kg minimum weight limit was introduced to allow for the new onboard fire extinguisher and revised roll over bar requirement. At Barcelona strutted wing failures lead to a hasty application of new low, chassis mounted wing restrictions. The Cosworth engine dominated in the Tyrrell Matra. Four-wheel drive was tested and abandoned.

1970
The end of the spaceframe era in F1, aircraft style bag tanks were made mandatory and subsequently monocoques. The weight limit was set at 1530Lbs (695Kg). Lotus introduced engine induction air boxes and Matra introduced the trend to use high airboxes. The Lotus 72 dominated and the flat-twelve Ferrari made its mark.

When I think of forced induction and Grand Prix cars, I think of the 1200 horsepower monsters of the ’80s. Huge rear wings, slicks that had junk in the trunk and dialed up boost to produce one-off qualifying laps for the ages.
But there was once a time when things were a little less outrageous. When elegant and simple, even petite, machines used forced induction to find those extra horses and win races. This documentary takes a look back at these lovely machines, and investigates the supercharged Grand Prix cars of the late ’20s and ’30s

Thank You again strad. I was reading "FIAT en GP" and Bentley "a racing history" not so long ago. It's nice to see some of these supercharged racing cars in the video. Did you know that W.O. Bentley believed that "to supercharge a Bentley engine was to pervert its design and corrupt its performance." ?

This is not working, is it possible to fix it?

Thanks!
