Managed about 10 minutes, but then the fact you are watching talentless billionaires parading their money around an empty track lost me sorry.

You Tube keep cutting the feed for some odd reason so it became unwatchable. I bet Goodwood were getting rather annoyed.

[Ultuous]

Seems to have held up ok so far this afternoon - thanks for the tip-off!

Jean Alesi, Rene Arnoux?

I loved the last one, real wheel squeeling fighting for grip. Most definitely not billionaire drivers. Bog enthusiastic owners wanting to see the cars being USED!

Quite - last session had some proper motoring. Alesi was wringing the 312 but Marco Werner smooth and sublime in the Lotus 77 (I guess those 3 Le Mans wins count for something).

Super onboard from Alesi today, those hands!!

That's awesome, remember the shifting

[LukeBrown66]

I will submit the later years had some great drivers, but the early stuff, my word it was like watching Goodwood up the hill, very dull and really better with drivers who know what they are dong.

Arnoux, lol he binned it, hardly great.

He won 7 F1 races.

I always laugh at the scornful tone of some posts on PHs. I have no doubt they would be doing something similar if they had enough money.

[Dinoboy]

The in-car Alesi footage is just sublime!

You clearly have no idea who some ofthese ‘talentless billionaires’ are...

...I’d like to see you jump into a 1930s Fraser Nash with all its idiosyncrasies and throw it around Monaco like Blakeley Edwards, or jump into an old hesketh and peddle it like Stretton or Lyons.

These drivers don’t just have to know how to drive, but also know how to massage these one of a kind, hand made pieces, each with their own quirks around a track.

Jump on twitter and ask Alex Brundle how hard it is going up against some of these guys...

It amazes me how small the old F1 cars look around Monaco. There’s actually space for two of them to run side by side in a lot of parts. Unlike the modern F1 cars which are waaaay too big for Monaco

[paulguitar]

That was a good finish, shades of Mansell/Senna '92.

Considering that the track is a bit narrower now as well because of where they place some of the armco.

[LukeBrown66]

Some good driving, espeically Lyons and Hall earlier, and Jean a bit unlucky there, looked like he missed a gear and Marco was so close he hit him.

Some of the backmarkers leave a lot to be desired though sadly.
