TCM once played the movie Zero Hour back to back with Airplane!.

Airplane! is a remake of Zero Hour. It's fascinating to watch it today.
 
F1 Monte Carlo 1962 footage

According to the YouTube post, this was shot in 70mm. Quality is incredible. Some is onboard a road car during practice.

At that time engines were normally aspirated 1.5 liter. According to Wikipedia, the Coventry Climax V8 in Jim Clark's 1963 championship-winning Lotus made 195hp.

Those cars look like a blast to drive.

I assume the tires are squealing simply because of tire tech and compound.
