I came across this ...... it's a segment from the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix weekend , it was actually filmed in 70mm film , I've never seen a 56 year old film that is so clear, it's AMAZING! Enjoy!
The segment is from a documentary called "Mediterranean Holiday" or "Flying Clipper" if my link does not work look it up on You Tube : Monaco Grand Prix
1962 - High Quality footage - Flying Clipper

I wonder who the narrator is? It sounds like Burl Ives. Whomever it is, he doesn't seem familiar with the names or the sport.
