There's two videos I've been watching over and over...
The first is this nice summary of the 1967 German Grand Prix at Nurburgring http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNRtOFwgNmc
The second is Jacques Laffite at the wheel of a Ferrari F40 LM. I don't know where this is filmed, but the F40's sound is the most beautiful thing ever http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YPabCzxMXM

Speaking of Nürburgring, here's a onboard video of someone doing a 9 minute lap of Nordschleife in a Z4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU_0mgK5ybQ

My favorite of all the onboard films. Mike Hawthorn doing a lap of Le Mans in a D-Type Jaguar IN 1956!

great thread idea!
porsche 936 @ le mans 1977 mindboggling car control from a young glenn seton @ bathurst 1987 - has been seared into my brain since i first saw it, the full footage with him sideways at 250+ km/h on a STRAIGHT is even better tho andy warhol's BMW art car

Someone's Avanti drives around the block a bit. It sounds awesome:

"Different by design" Studebaker promo clip, 1964:

Square headlamps spoiled the look of the thing a bit, I think. I'd love an Avanti!

I love these old promo clips, there's loads of them up. Lovely old colours too. Corvair was a stylish machine!

On board a BMW 2002 at the Monte Carlo historic rally race in 2007. Slow going but seriously nuts trying to maintain on the ice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If3P2-ncnF8

those big-winged quattro S1s are scary, scary cars. look at these ones on the '85 1000 lakes, compare how much slower the older white quattro is!
