00:00Grazie a tutti

00:30Sicily, island of legend, of mountains and the mafia, an island of flowers and orange groves and abiding tradition.

00:41But Sicily is also the home of the very last of the world's truly heroic motor races.

00:46The legendary Targa Florio run every spring over these mountain roads.

00:51The names of past winners read like a roll of honour of the sport.

00:54Divo, Vazzi, Villoresi, Biondetti, Taruffi, Moss and perhaps the greatest of them all, Tazio Nuvolari.

01:03May the 4th, 1965. Five days to go and the Naples Ferry arrives at Palermo.

01:15On board, the leading contenders for honours in the 49th Targa Florio.

01:20Monte Carlo rally winner Timo Markkinen has this Healy 3000.

01:31There's an MG Midget for Paddy Hopkirk and Andrew Hedges.

01:34A prototype Healy Sprite for Altonen and Baker completes the BMC contingent.

01:49Porsche always do well in the Targa.

01:52A Sunbeam Tiger for Peter Harper and the Reverend Rupert Jones.

01:55And, of course, Ferrari are here.

02:06Soon the mountain roads reverberate to the signs of unofficial practice,

02:11for which most of the works teams have brought spare cars.

02:14But, for others, a long-suffering hired hack must serve.

02:40A lot of robber is left behind and there's some private dicing,

02:43despite the fact that the roads are still open to normal traffic.

02:50Scroogeneering is at Cerda, about 10 kilometres beyond the start.

02:55That's Rano Altonen.

02:59The Ford GT, immaculately prepared for Bondurant and Whitmore,

03:03attracts attention.

03:07The regulations, by the way, demand a minimum turning circle.

03:11Abarth are well-represented and, of course, the entry list is rich in assorted Alphids.

03:19Peter Harper has trouble finding the Tiger's splinter-proof label for the scrutineers,

03:24but, on the whole, the proceedings are conducted with a charming informality.

03:28Paul Hawkins, Markkinen's co-driver, is in prayerful mood.

03:40But, for Timo, the prospect of his first Tiger seems to please.

03:45Kampucci, winner in 1964 with Huska von Hennstein,

03:48and from Britain, well, the face is familiar.

03:51Mike Parks, a Ferrari, checks sprite development with Jeff Healey,

03:56and Joe Bonia hopes for his third win.

04:01That's it, all done?

04:03All done.

04:03Nobody is allowed to spoil the finish of the Ford with common paint,

04:07and, while the scrutineering goes on,

04:09Tommy Wisdom, himself a Tiger veteran,

04:12has a word or two in Finglish with Timo Markkinen.

04:14Now, Timo, you've come to the Targa Florio,

04:18your first Targa Florio.

04:20Why have you come?

04:21Oh, it's lovely weather.

04:22Well, that's a jolly good answer.

04:24Now, what do you think of the course?

04:26Oh, it's a very nice course, but very difficult to learn.

04:30Yes, and you're pleased with the car?

04:32Oh, not really.

04:33Very bumpy, sir.

04:33It's very hard.

04:35Yes, what about tires?

04:36Oh, you're using a lot of tires.

04:38After every two laps, I think we must change.

04:41I say, that's going to be hard work.

04:43It means you've got to go pretty quickly.

04:44Well, jolly good luck anyhow.

04:46Thank you.

04:47It's Timo who drives our camera around the 45-mile circuit.

04:51From the start, an easy climb to the village of Czerda.

05:07BMC put their trust for the Targa in rally drivers' hands,

05:11so Timo is an obvious choice.

05:13He takes Czerda with discretion.

05:15The roads are open.

05:23Now he's climbed to the heights above the village

05:26and the downhill stretch to the valley of the river Salito begins.

05:30But what do other drivers think about this circuit with its 295 corners every lap?

05:48Of course, it's important to just know what goes on around the next corner,

05:54and you get all sorts of people going very quickly here.

06:05It's a very deflating circuit.

06:07I think it's good to come here once a year and get your balance, sense of proportion correct.

06:12Otherwise, you might think you're a lot better than you are.

06:18Graham Hill is to drive a prototype Porsche with Joe Bonnier.

06:22Team manager Von Henstein talks about it.

06:24Yes, and unfortunately, it's a little bit too new, but it seems to be the fate of all manufacturers.

06:31They only get their new cars ready at the very last minute,

06:35and so it happened with this car, which has only been completed the night before we left,

06:40so we don't know much about it.

06:43We had some similar cars test-driven, but of course not on a circuit like this and not in conditions like here.

06:50I always liked the pure road races. I used to love the millimilia, but of course that doesn't exist anymore.

07:12How many times have you driven in the Targa?

07:14Six times. This is my seventh time.

07:17I see. How many times have you won?

07:20I won it twice.

07:21And placings?

07:23Well, let's see now. I've finished...

07:26Actually, out of the six times I've driven here, I've finished four times,

07:30and I've won it twice. I've finished second ones, and I've finished third ones.

07:34How do you rate your chances this time?

07:36Well, I hope we win.

07:39Next, Tommy Wisdom speaks to Ludovico Scafiotti, Italian Victor of Le Mans, 1963.

07:46How do you compare with those other races which you've engaged in?

07:51It's very interesting, like races.

07:55You remain only this after the millimilia.

07:58It's, I would say, a race in the street.

08:02Like millimilia, little millimilia. I like very much.

08:05Which is very, very, very hard because it's very stankante, fatigous, I don't know what I say.

08:12Yes, fatiguing indeed. That's the Targa Florio.

08:16By now, Timo is driving up to the heights by Cultivatura, the highest part of the course and about 28 kilometers out.

08:27Here, he sweeps left down the road built specially by Mussolini for the Targa.

08:32Then, it's down the side of the mountains to the Imara Valley.

08:36The Targa Florio.

08:43The Targa Florio.

08:53Il nostro corso gratuito è molto stato uguale, come una serie di sali speciali in Alps.

09:20È fabuloso.

09:21I'll enjoy it, whether we finish high up or not, it's good fun.

09:36Timo's hammering hard, and it's as well to remember that the roads aren't closed,

09:41even when under pressure from a works Ferrari.

09:51It's, I reckon, it's the toughest race in existence in the world for a motor car and for the driver,

10:11because the concentration which you require for driving around this circuit is incredible.

10:19There's no relax, no moment of relaxation whatsoever.

10:23You've got to be absolutely 100% on the ball all the time.

10:28I like the challenge. The more difficult it is, the more I enjoy it.

10:32We have a special set of gearbox ratios for the cars,

10:35where first, second, third, and fourth are all very close together for rushing around the mountains.

10:41And then on the one six-kilometer straight, we have a, what's the equivalent of an overdrive top,

10:47and then you pop the thing in the top gear to rush down there at something like a hundred and thirty-five miles.

10:53You're doing a hundred and seventy-five, are you, on that one straight on the course?

10:58Yes, it's six kilometers of dead straight, and we go out to that, that's good.

11:04And so to official practice.

11:07Tommy Wisdom is in the pits finding out what's what

11:09and telling the boys, no doubt, of his Jaguar experiences here in 1953.

11:20Lorenzo Bandini, winner of Le Mans in 1963,

11:23talks with his co-driver of that occasion, Ludovico Scafiotti.

11:27This time, Bandini is to share with Nino Baccarella,

11:31Scafiotti with Mike Parks.

11:33And so, practice begins.

11:42Timo demonstrates his particular recipe for saving the tires.

11:46Keep them airborne.

12:03Practice times in the Targa have no effect on starting positions,

12:11but most people try like mad.

12:15The Pucci Porsche is the only practice casualty,

12:18crashed by Viannini without personal injury,

12:21but it isn't the end of Pucci's race,

12:23for he is to move in with class on another of the works cars,

12:26number 94.

12:27The new Porsche is causing bother.

12:39Neither Graham Hill nor Joe Bonnier like its handling,

12:42and opt to drive an eight-cylinder,

12:45leaving number 182 to Colin Davis and Gerhard Mitter.

12:48Paul Hawkins puts up a good practice time in the big Healy,

12:55but there's nobody to touch Sicilian-born Nino Baccarella

12:59in the 275 P2 Ferrari.

13:02He's a schoolmaster in Palermo, the popular hero.

13:09Local knowledge is a tremendous advantage on a circuit as long as this.

13:14Listen to his teammate, Ludovico Scafiotti.

13:17You know Baccarella, you know,

13:19every day when you come here to do a bath in the sea,

13:23he goes to do a lap in the targa flora.

13:25It's very, very quick, very, very.

13:28It's not easy to do the same time.

13:32Yes, not very easy to beat,

13:34for Baccarella has just become the first man ever

13:36to better 40 minutes for the 45-mile Piccolo-Madoni circuit,

13:41and very hot work it seems to have been.

13:43As race morning approaches,

13:46the road men complete their token gestures,

13:49the enthusiasts have decorated the circuit,

13:51and the drivers have added some road signs of their own,

13:54which can't be found in any highway code.

14:01Posters urge the populace to good race behavior,

14:04to keep dogs indoors,

14:05to sit inside the bends.

14:07And here's one which could well be translated as

14:11lock up your daughters.

14:13So, to the dawn of race day,

14:15and all around the circuit,

14:17people are early awake.

14:21At the grandstand, the turnstiles click,

14:25although most sensible Sicilians see the show for nothing.

14:28The pre-start atmosphere comes up with the sun.

14:31It's Targa Florio Day.

14:33The 59 cars line up in order of departure.

14:56Smallest first, 30 seconds between each.

14:59Before them, 10 laps, 450 miles,

15:02of one of the toughest racing circuits in the world.

15:06There's Peter Harper in Tigrish mood,

15:08and Joe Bonnier in the souvenir business.

15:10The Marshall's late return

15:12delays the start due at 8 a.m. by 12 minutes.

15:18Jeff Healy, suitably dressed for the occasion,

15:21gets the Sprite ready for Altonen.

15:24And there's Bandini,

15:26debonair as ever, as the tension mounts.

15:28Now, the first car of the 1300cc GT cars is on the line.

15:39There's just 30 seconds to go.

15:41It's the Giodar Alpine.

15:43The Petruzzi Porro, Alfa T-Z.

15:56Vigilio in a works Abarth.

16:01Paddy Hopkirk in the M.G. Midget.

16:03Dennett's due to lead the 1300 GT class on lap one

16:13and to crash on lap two.

16:15The Buccinella Todara Alfa.

16:19Another TZ, Bianchi Roland.

16:23Class and the Porsche 904.

16:27Timo Makkinen.

16:28Ferrari GTO, Pugaccio.

16:38Before the prototypes are away,

16:40the early numbers are storming through Cerda,

16:43awakening the early morning village echoes.

16:46The Kalascibeto Vigilio Ebat is going great guns.

16:50It passes 11 cars on the first lap.

16:52Back at the pits, the prototypes are on the line.

17:13Algernon in the Sprite.

17:19Jobonia.

17:22Conant Davis.

17:26The Ford, Bondurian piloting.

17:33Maccarella.

17:41Partito Scarpioti.

17:43Now, the big bangers are chasing the small cars hard

17:51and the race is really on.

17:56The Alpine of Boru-Ché Nice.

18:05Paddy's going well and really trying.

18:0920 kilometres out now,

18:23down into the river valley and up the other side.

18:25That's the Hermancella Ebat.

18:29Maglioli is in Porsche number 176.

18:32On 96 is the works Ferrari of Piscaldi.

18:40Up on the Cultivatura Heights now,

18:42and the multiple echoes from the mountains add to the din.

18:45You can hear a car 10 kilometres up the road.

18:48Now, trouble begins.

19:01The Torpetti Grana 275 LM buckles a wheel.

19:05The car, incidentally, was homologated only in Italy.

19:08This incident takes 15 minutes to sort out,

19:11but it gets going again.

19:13Gennice isn't so lucky in his work's alpine.

19:16For him, the race is over.

19:19And coming up,

19:20the only time you'll see number 112,

19:22the Ulysses Marchese GTO,

19:24in mint condition.

19:2694 is the Pucci-class Porsche 904 again.

19:41Here's Paddy Hopkirk on his way up to Vivio Polizzi,

19:4438 kilometres out,

19:46and here's Timo.

19:49Guichet in the third P2.

19:51Colisano,

19:57a typical sleepy Sicilian village a week ago,

20:01now just a part of a racing circuit.

20:08In the Targa,

20:09many drivers cloak themselves in anonymity.

20:12Believe it or not,

20:13that Alfa is driven by Ben-Hur and the Tortoise.

20:19No!

20:21On to the straight,

20:27and it's almost the end of lap one.

20:30A maroon is fired

20:31as each car nears the pit area.

20:35It signs for the Vigilio Abart,

20:38first on the road.

20:39Malioli,

20:57sixth overall.

20:58Vaccarella in the lead

21:03Colin Davis tenth

21:07Scaffiotti second

21:11The Ford third

21:15Vaccarella's time

21:1740 minutes 5 seconds

21:19from a standing start

21:20only 4.7 seconds

21:23outside Villi Maressi's existing record

21:28The Sicilians treat their motor racing in gala fashion

21:42but they take it no less seriously for all that

21:44It's the big day out in the year

21:46and not even an angry Ferrari can cut the supply lines

21:50The circuit itself is a place

21:58for pedestrians as well as for cars

22:00and sitting on the outside of the bend

22:02legs dangling

22:03means nothing to Luigi

22:05It's a picnic fiesta

22:07and a roaring racing car

22:09doesn't stop you trumping your partner's ace

22:11Even the Sicilian dogs

22:18refuse to recognize

22:20that motor racing is dangerous

22:22De Bourbon's GTO has been shunted already

22:40Later he is to crash more seriously

22:42After a bad first lap

22:54Colin Davis is pushing hard

22:56and so is the Ford GT

22:58Vaccarella's going even faster

23:13Lap 2 takes him less than the Magic 40

23:1639.21 to be exact

23:1839.3 seconds

23:20inside the previous record

23:22There's that GTO again

23:34after modifications

23:35Vaccarella in action

23:49Maglioli

23:51As expected

24:01the big Healy is in the pits early

24:03The Scandinavian style

24:05gives the tyre people grey hair

24:07we're told

24:07Leave the front

24:17The Ferrari GTO is also in for a quick check

24:32on its four and after rebuilding

24:34Scafiot is still in second place

24:36but soon there's drama in the Ferrari pit

24:39when team manager Dragone

24:40learns that the car's steering has gone

24:43and it's a bit bent in consequence

24:45But the other three works Ferraris are still going

24:55and Bandini has time to get his shoes right

24:58before Vaccarella comes in

25:00at the end of the third lap

25:01Nina Vaccarella has won his co-driver

25:14a lead of nearly five minutes

25:15and the prancing horse and the prancing horse of Modena

25:17has his hopes well on

25:19However, here's the tiger in a four-paw drift

25:23However, here's the tiger in a four-paw drift

25:45Rano Altonen's rally technique has got him to third place in class

26:06A secondary pit area has been established on the high ground

26:17up by Bibbio Polizzi

26:19and a good thing too for some of the competitors

26:21among them the Topetti Grana Ferrari

26:24There are a few further modifications necessary

26:31for the Ulysses Marchesi Ferrari

26:33but they don't take long

26:35and it's soon on its way again

26:36The rubber hammers are much in demand at the Polizzi pits

26:46That's the Bluensauer Ferrari GTO

26:49for receiving a spot of body bashing

26:51The Sicilian dust is being raised with a vengeance now

26:58as the roads take their ferocious annual pound

27:01Bandini's holding on to the lead

27:12Bandini's holding on to the lead

27:16Bandini's holding on to the lead

27:17Maglioli is running fifth overall

27:19and as the cars become more and more mixed up

27:21lap charts are a problem for the enthusiasts

27:24The Maglioli Porsche comes in at the end of the fourth lap

27:29As the cacti drows in the midday sun

27:52the original entry of 59 becomes more and more depleted

27:57For many of the drivers the long walk back has already begun

28:05The Chalas-Gibeta Virgilio Eibart is solidly in the lead in the smallest GT class

28:14and Bandini leads the race overall

28:17And in the Targa it isn't only the drivers who dice with death

28:27At times the circuit looks like bank holiday on the Brighton Road

28:36But the crowds, there are over a quarter of a million around the circuit

28:40enjoy every second

28:42Sir John Whitmore third overall

28:54And the Sprite is still third in its class

29:01The Chalas-Gibeta Virgilio Eibart

29:06The Chalas-Gibeta Virgilio Eibart

29:08The Chalas-Gibeta Virgilio Eibart

29:10The Chalas-Gibeta Virgilio Eibart

29:11The Chalas-Gibeta Virgilio Eibart

29:12The Chalas-Gibeta Virgilio Eibart

29:13The Chalas-Gibeta Virgilio Eibart

29:14The Chalas-Gibeta Virgilio Eibart

29:15La fine fin-tailed Alpine di Gransia è riuscita seconda in la 1600

29:41prototipi class, but it is soon to crash and catch fire.

29:48196, the Viscaldi Deserti GTB is fourth in class,

29:52so in the big prototypes, it's Ferrari, Ferrari, Ford, Ferrari.

30:02Now the Sprite is having its own private war

30:05with the bent and battered Ferrari GTO.

30:11There's some hairy driving among the small GTs.

30:38The Abarth No. 26 still has it.

30:41But the Gilberti Nord car, No. 28, is trying hard.

30:45And so is Hopkirk in third place.

30:57There can be no doubt about it.

30:59Paddy is really enjoying his special stages in the Sicilian Alps.

31:03Half distance now.

31:25John Whitmore, holding the Ford GT in third place overall,

31:29comes near to disaster when his wheel comes off on the straight

31:33and the hub nut can't be found.

31:35Eventually, a spectator returns it.

31:44And still, Bandini's Ferrari continues to set the pace.

32:02With the Ford in trouble, the Maglioli Porsche is up to third place overall.

32:08Having limped back to the pits, the Ford gets rapid attention.

32:11Whitmore had found time to ring up the press box for the warning message.

32:16It could only happen in the target.

32:18The car is passed as okay,

32:19but the incident puts it right out of the running for a major award.

32:23If that helmet transfer is worn backwards for luck,

32:49it just isn't working.

32:50But Bob Bondurin sets off, determined as ever.

33:02Now, Paddy's drive ends

33:04as he hands the valiant midget over to Andrew Hodges.

33:07His has been a considerable achievement,

33:09for the almost standard midget

33:11is only eight minutes behind the class leaders,

33:14the very hot Abarths,

33:15a position not acquired without a certain expenditure

33:18of the hot Coke sweat.

33:20I might have to slow up a little bit.

33:22And then after two anyway.

33:24And then after two anyway.

33:25No!

33:26No, no, no, no, no!

33:27No!

33:28I'll be still receiving.

33:29I'll be still receiving.

33:30We'll be talking.

33:31We'll be talking.

33:32Keep going.

33:33Keep going.

33:34Oh, change it, quick!

33:35Hey, change it!

33:37Soon, news comes that the Abarth lying second

33:52in the 1300 GT category has crashed

33:54and that the midget is now in second place.

33:59But further drama hears the class leader

34:02with a broken throttle linkage

34:03at a time when every second cuts.

34:17Vigilio displays understandable impatience

34:20as he sees his class lead disappearing second by second.

34:23No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

34:33But the delay is not quite long enough for hedges in the midget

35:03and the status quo is soon restored.

35:05And the status quo is soon restored.

35:33The Hermancella Abarth, fourth overall, spins, but stays well ahead in the 1600 prototype class.

35:40Now the Ford is going great guns in the January 15th

36:05Now the Ford is going great guns in a desperate effort to regain lost time

36:12and the 49th Targa Florio is still full of excitement and incident.

36:21The chart experts are nightmare with cars all round the course

36:25and many of them on different laps.

36:29Oh the noise, it's all much too complicated for mama.

36:35More bad news for Ferrari.

36:41The Baguetti Gishe car is out on the course with ignition trouble

36:45and Baguetti has had a long walk back to Cerda.

36:50But there's nothing the matter with Bandini as he roars in to redeliver Nino's original lead

36:56with its pristine timing.

36:58Five minutes ahead of the rest of the field,

37:00now led by the new Porsche driven by Davis and Mitter.

37:03Bonnier and Hill must be kicking themselves.

37:33So now it's Nino's turn again and, barring accidents, he must win.

37:44Now the Hill Bonnier Porsche comes in five minutes late.

37:48Graham had lost time earlier when a throttle linkage broke up by the Polizzi pits.

37:55Bonnier takes over and Graham looks far from happy.

37:59But the Porsche grip has tightened on the Ferraris

38:01and von Hanstein's cars now run second, third and fifth overall.

38:06The Ford GT efforts are finally brought to nothing

38:35when Bondurant, trying perhaps a fraction too hard,

38:39ends up against a concrete road post.

38:44But his is not the only disappointment.

38:47The Biscaldi Deserti Ferrari, second in the three-litre prototype class,

38:51is as good as out with transmission trouble.

38:54And the Porsche hold on the Targa Florio of 1965 strengthens still firm.

38:59On the ninth lap, they are second, third, fourth and fifth.

39:04The big Healey was running first in class,

39:06but ignition trouble lost its time and now it's second.

39:10The Sprite is being driven with typical determination.

39:13And now the leader starts his tenth and final lap.

39:19The Davis Mitter Porsche is second.

39:20And it becomes a matter of Sicilian honor.

39:31Bonnier is fourth.

39:33Behind the leaders scurry the class winners.

39:59Of the small GTs, the Eibart is still first with the Midget second.

40:07The Rovetta Staraba GTO leads the three-litre GT class

40:11with the Healey still second.

40:14And third in this class, the Ulysses Marchese GTO.

40:18The Hermancella Eibart leads the Sprite in the 1600 prototype class

40:26and runs sixth overall.

40:29But all the Sicilian interest is centered on Baccarella

40:32and the big red Ferrari as it rushes towards the finish.

40:37Cultivatura for the last time.

40:39Colisano for the last time.

41:03And on to the Coast Road.

41:05Ten kilometers to go and six of them straight.

41:09So Baccarella and Bandini win for Ferrari

41:16with Porsche second, third, fourth, and fifth.

41:20What a triumph for the Sicilian-born driver.

41:37The headmaster from Palermo who now joins the great names of the Targa winners.

41:41The Sicilians are so excited that they nearly forget that Bandini also did something towards it.

41:49But for Baccarella, winning his own race in his own country, this is a day to remember.

41:55For the winners, the laurels are perhaps the only Rio road race left in the world today.

42:12And the 49th Targa Florio ends in the way that every Sicilian dream.

42:17But to the victors themselves, the final word.

42:26Yes, I love Targa Florio because it's the competition of my house.

42:34And Lorenzo, I like it too much Targa Florio.

42:38I much bend.

42:39So the Charing and the Tumult die and the Piccolo-Madoni circuit is just an ordinary road again.
