Where is the Leica? It also is a poor video quality. Editing looks like a beginner was at work. PrismLeitz

It's too bad that Phil Hill never raced at Indy; he might have won at least two Indy 500's.

What a great champion,the only american born to win the Formula 1 World Championship,Mario Andretti won it too,he was born in Italia though. We need drivers like him to make americans realize that Formula 1 is the best racing competition on this planet,we need another american in F1,we need our US Grand Prix back,we need stupid people understand that nascar is overatedand boring,nascar sucks,USA is to big to don't have a F1 Grand Prix. There are F1 fans here,please let us have a F1 Grand Prix.

On the wall of my office is an autographed photo of Phil Hill driving the Pintacuda Alfa-Romeo 8C2900B at the Historics at Laguna Seca in 1975. I have a magazine that covered the sports car race in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco where Phil had his first drive in his Ferrari 212. He finished 1st in class, 2nd overall. He also autographed that article, too. I'll never sell them. If I'm starving, I would rather cut off my leg, roast it, and eat it, rather than sell these.

@captainjustin74 First, Gurney was a great driver, and the only one that Jimmy Clark feared. Had Dan not decided to go into building race cars, he most likely would have been a world champ. Andretti, while born in Italy, emmigrated to the US after WWII with his family. He was a young kid at the time. He became an American citizen, and learned to drive in the US, not Italy. His experience was on dirt ovals with "stock" cars and jalopies. So he was/is an American driver.

JAG312 commented on 27 Oct 2008

Ayrsen-Mario Andretti once said that when he raced, he raced for Italy. Back in the 70s, there was a race at Riverside where European drivers raced F1 cars against American drivers in F5000 cars. Andretti raced as European in a Ferrari, and if I remember correctly, he won. Not counting Jimmy Murphy in 1922, I consider Phil Hill to be the only American to become the official world champion.

Dan Gurney won some F1 races but NEVER TOOK THE DRIVERS CHAMPIONSHIP he was a great driver but he was never the F1 World Champ. Also I am sure someone will say what about Mario Andretti. So ok what about him Yes he has one the F1 world championship But He Was and Italian at the time so I am sorry you can not list him as an American that won the F1 Championship!

Nascar wes alot better in the 60's where there wasnt that much hoopla, and it was more a gentlemans sport, Ill always have a soft spot for the Talladega's dodge daytona's, torinos,and superbird's, i mean it looked like they just flowed around the track with ease and not trying to struggle like nowaday,s, Swet Memories

Bmants commented on 31 May 2009

Why was Phil Hill never honored by the government when he was alive, was it because he was not military nor did he play games? He was a gem and a great ambassador for the US. I guess you have to use a ball or bullet in this country to get some attention

Justin Shellington commented on 08 Jan 2012

there has been only one US born World champ in F1 and his name was Phill Hill Philip Toll Hill, Jr., (April 20, 1927 – August 28, 2008) was a United States automobile racer and the only American-born driver to win the Formula One Drivers title>>

ok guy if i saw you id nail you as you and evvery other mouthy jerk, on here ruins it for people that like racing and yes older F1 stuff, stay off here if you cant act right and taqlk right,

RafaelSatchmo commented on 15 Feb 2012

@RafaelSatchmo Phil Hill's record speaks for itself. Just a great driver, great man. I spent time with him at a Ford junkett at Monterey in 2003. He was great.

EVILIMPERIALISM23 commented on 11 Nov 2012

R.I.P., Phil. Thanks for being such a great ambassador to our nation in such a great international sport!

@NewYankee01 you may think of him as the worst. But he's one thing you're not: A World Champion.

Ferrari 512bb lm Laguna Seca

Turn up your volume.. Some footage of a Ferrari 512bb LM at Laguna Seca, in car view. Awesome sound.. (Phil Hill)

Excellent. I love it when things like that happen. I personally think that the 512BB LM is the best sounding ferrari of all time. Yes the 250 GTO and 250 LM close behind but its the savagery of the exhaust note that I love. It's probably because there reasonably affordable, but I've had this dream of remaking C'Etait Une Rendezvous with a 512BB LM for a long time. Have you seen the film? Its on YouTube. The sounds definately doctored but it's still impressive. Thanks again. Matt Evans

Johnny Scar commented on 19 Feb 2009

No problem ! a friend of mine gave me a ferrari vhs tape he found in a second hand store... we both could not belive how good the video was... 330 p4, 250 swb's, 275gtb, 512bb of course... and a testarossa . video is from a series called (dream cars - the story of ferrari) 1987 theres a f40 on the cover..

Kirk Conway commented on 04 May 2011

I have this video too got it in the early 80's, now hill is passed on sadly. and the dummie's at laguna seco changed the track around so it goes thru the middle instead of up the hill after the pit straight. I wish the's leave thing's alone and and let thing's stay as they are.

1:23 "And up here is the Corkscrew." [Misses downshift] "God dammit." Ha ha love this clip. You can see this footage in the Automotive Series: Backseat Driver dvd (check Netflix or Amazon).

Johnny Scar commented on 20 Feb 2009

The 512bb lm is one of my favorite ferrari's... ferrari should have made some of these as a road car... the shape, the lines on these cars just scream out "sex" to me !!

evans808274mc9la commented on 18 Feb 2009

Just stunning! Could you tell me a bit about the footage? I.e., what program/documentary it is from, what channel it was on, etc etc. Many thanks. Matt Evans

@CarKid14 Yes, there are 2 types of 250 GTO's. You've got the ones that have been produced in 1962 and 1963, and the more rare generation that has been produced in 1964. But these ones are the '62/'63 GTO's.
