I have not seen this video before.Thats really interesting.
Please look at the crash at the last tour. Where is it ?
It is rascasse , where MS made year before .the more interesting thing is
all of the two crashes were happened in the same manner.

I think th history is all about repetation....Who knows...

Orkun: you're obviously trying to relate this to the current track map. In 1970, Monaco was shorter and the last corner was known as Gasometer Hairpin (Virage du Gazometre). It's a bit higher up the hill from where Rascasse is now. You can find all the variations on Guido di Carli's site:

je me souviens, du directeur de coure qui attendait Black Jack, n'a pas ajiter le drapeau à damiers au passage de Rindt.
c'était fou ce dernier tour.

..Yes:) It is my fault..Thanks for your reply...

Looking at the web site you have given and the watching the video carefully again and agin..Before the corner the pilot are a little bit climbing to the virage gazometer.The rascassse is left back.

Thanks again and again...

Watching the clip, I'd forgotten how close Rindt actually was to Brabham at the time that Jack went off. Does this make the error slightly more understandable?
