1973 Elf Tyrrell team. Back when the mechanics were allowed a quick spin.

Those front tires are tiny.

68 Monaco. Now these look huge to me but might be the angle of the shot.

Might be perspective. There honestly wasn’t much more to late 60's F1 cars than thin aluminum scaffolding around the driver’s legs. Plus there seems to be a slight downhill and the pic quality blurs the difference between the front and rear tires.

True. They sure did come a long way in 5 years though.

That’s kinda crazy when you consider that 3rd gear was fast enough to chop Cevert in half.

Judging from the new asphalt and the number font on the 6 I think that’s Watkins Glen right before François Cevert was killed.

Damn your good. I have no idea though.

Pretty sure it is. They built the modern layout of the Glen the year before, here’s a clip from the Jackie Stewart BBC documentary about that weekend
