    I am an older viewer. I'm 58, but KZread is almost all I watch these days. I like the absolute control it gives me over what I watch. I had this video come up in my feed, probably because I am also an avid gamer and watch a lot of video game stuff. I enjoyed the video a lot. Because of that I came over to your channel to see more of what you are about. I decided to subscribe. I wish you well. I will like and try to comment often as videos post from you. My suspicion is that your chosen field of interest may be too specific to really blow up, but if your desire is to make a living from KZread, I hope you succeed. Usually content providers talk far too much. In this case, your knowledge of the various eccentricities of these cars was not only entertaining, but informative. You also don't sound like an idiot millennial, which is an additional plus to a more mature viewer like myself. One suggestion: observing the three models in this video made me curious about other examples from this period. Returning to this type of race at a later date when more models are available might be nice. Likewise other eras with different styles of cars, as well. Cheers.

Some might be discouraged by comments that point out facts that I got wrong or missed, but they are actually very much appreciated!

    Shame that it's very hard to get a lot of info on cars this old. Very few of the cars from this time frame survived to this day, and some (if not all) of the surviving specimens may no longer had the same specifications as they initially have. The plans, blueprints and factory technical data were also probably hard to come by (Fiat seems to have destroyed almost everything related to their GP project when they closed down shop). So big thumbs up and cheers to the people behind these cars!

    @@mikeynanez3038 You're talking about the story put forward about the Mercedes Benz W25 having its white paint stripped off to make it to the weight limit, right before a race, in 1934. The story is a complete and utter lie. It only started to exist in Mercedes Benz racing team manager Alfred Neubauer's autobiography many years later and somehow, it stuck. That is despite the fact that there were gaping holes in the story's details, and more importantly, Neubauer's known for " putting some seasoning" to stories, if not outright fabricating new ones, to strike up interesting conversation. In fact, I don't understand why, at times, Mercedes Benz kept on telling the "paint stripping story" as part of their stories regarding the Silver Arrows, despite the fact that it's one of the Neubauer stories that is a complete fabrication.

    Been waiting for something like this for ages! I think the scariest part of driving these 20s cars is the braking. You come up to a turn, step on the brake pedal, and go flying into a wall after barely slowing down at all. Engine braking in these things is not for the faint of heart, lol. A great track I've found to race them is Donnington 1938 (kzread.info/dash/bejne/YollyMimoJWvZdY.html). Hope you get to showcase more of Fat-Alfie's tracks. The Deutchlandring might just be my favorite, purely because of its history and just how pretty it is.

    Yeah, I quite enjoy the D-Ring as well. Apart from the aesthetics, you get that feeling you're really going somewhere, while still generally feeling like you know where you are. And it has 3 clear sectors that differ notably from one another: 1) ultra-high-speed, 2) meandering through the forest still at a pretty good clip, 3) the hill climb. And yes, that final section of switchbacks was used as an actual hillclimb in its own right.

    @@Villoresi Exactly. I suppose road courses have that feeling of going somewhere that most purpose-built tracks just lack. Nailing that second sector in an old car almost feels like threading a needle, and that long left turn by the big hotel is awesome when you're on the limit of grip and manage to keep your foot down. Don't know if you're into that, but I've had tons of fun lapping the RedBull X2010 around it. It feels more like playing Trackmania with how much grip you have, and you'll be doing 400+km/h through some parts of the track. If you're up for it, I challenge you to put in a sub-2min lap!

    Sunbeam was a British car company which struggled to pay back money it borrowed to go racing and was absorbed into the Rootes Group in 1934. To know where it went from there would be to delve into the mire of the UK Auto Industry but to cut a very long story short you could still get Sunbeams up until the early 80's with the Chrysler then Talbot Sunbeam which won the World Rally Championship in 1981. They capitalised on that sporting success by closing the factory and discontinuing the model. Nothing called Sunbeam has been made since

Then he went on to drive in Grands Prix, as well as break both both the land and water world speed records, the first man to hold both at once. he died when his speedboat capsized as he broke the water speed record, still in his early 30s.

    These cars are very worth your time, especially now that the grid is complete. The only downside to these cars is the lack of contemporaneous circuits to race them on. Thankfully though anything prior to the late 70's is lax enough in safety features and early enough in advertisement branding that generally those tracks won't be too immersion breaking.

    Crazy stuff :D Yeah, the track seems to be in the 60s as you said, the Citroën type H ambulances: this model was built in 1948 (for ex @1:49), the TUB model from the same manufacturer was built in 1939 (@2:06), and the Total Group was founded in 1924 (@2:32), under another French name, the Total brand name only appeared in 1954 - and the logo we see is a mix of the original 1954 logo and the new one which was used from 1955 to 1963. The Esso trademark was created before 1923, but I doubt it was much present in France before the first refinery in 1933 (@2:47). Didn't check the other stuff, it seems fantastic, and those cobbles! Those pilots had a lot of courage.

    Bugatti was thought to create lift, but the main problem was that it was twitchy longitudinally into the corners - indeed, one crashed into the crowd, injuring several spectators. I don't know much about the Voisin, other than it was a semi-monocoque. Sunbeam was based on the 1922 Fiat, and represented the future for the next decade or so (really until the Mercedes and Auto Unions came into GP racing in 1934 the basic layout was the same, albeit continuously improved).

    Nice video! In fact the cornering abilities of the Voisin should be rather limited due to the lack of a differential (a reason why Voisin tried to keep the rear wheels as close as possible). Now the rear wheels were made like that mainly for aerodynamic purposes. However, the Voisin was also one of the very first monocoque designs, so not really a design deadend. It used a wooden frame to nail the structuring aluminium panels the body was made of. And it was also a fairly good training exercice for André Lefevre who is famous for the 2cv. It used many original solutions, such as the propeller mounted at the front in order to collect energy to activate the radiator's pump (instead of blowing the radiator like nowadays), and was made in less than 6 months, unlike the Sunbeams, which teams had more experience from other races. The lack of planning and preparation (especially form the race commity), as rather common in france was the main reason why Bugatti, Delage, Roland Pilain and Voisin were unable to fully test and optimise their cars during the race. The voisin later won a race in Italy, but there isn't much to document this event. All of this doesn't mean the British and italians didn't do a very nice work aswell, as they did, and all i read on this subject depicts them as 'clockwork proved mechanic' with powerfull reliable engines. Anyway, thanks for the vid, maybe i'll consider buying this game...

    A quick one about the different types of car, quite often auto manufacturers only produced a rolling unit (engine and chassis) and buyers were tasked with putting bodies on their cars, this meant that a lot of cars were taken to coachbuilders to be finished. Different body shapes on the same car were still quite common coming into the 1920s. I cannot find if this was the case with the Sunbeam, Voisin or the Bugatti, but other prewar race cars certainly have been this as the case.

    The car was not backfiring. That was just unburnt fuel igniting in the exhaust system. A backfire occurs when the fuel / air mixture ignites *before* "the piston reaches top dead centre. The force of the ignition is thus pushing the crankshaft *backwards*. Hence the term" back-fire". And, yes, it is really bad for the engine.

    Well this wasn't quite what I expected to see. No matter, I hit the "Like" before even starting the first race! The other cars in the 1923 French GP were the Fiat 805, Rolland Pilain A22, and Delage 2LCV. The last of these had a 2-liter V12, and it was this car that inspired Enzo Ferrari to put V12s in his cars when he finally had his own marque. BTW, Enzo Ferrari won the 1923 Circuito di Savio driving an Alfa Romeo RL TF. The Bugatti Type 32 is often referred to as the "Tank", and a number of elements of that shape were carried on in the 1936 Bugatti Type 57 G "Tank", which won the 1936 French GP for sports cars, and the 1937 Le Mans 24 Hours. If the Fiat 805 is the next to be released, that's going to be interesting. It has a bit more power than the others, but the big thing is, from what I can tell, it's 30 km/h faster in the top end than any of the others. The Alfa Romeo P1 did come out in 1923, but didn't race, as in practice for the Italian GP, their driver Ugo Sivocchi, who won that year's Targa Florio, crashed fatally. This resulted in the other 2 team cars being withdrawn. The other drivers who would have raced the P1 were Giuseppe Campari and Antonio Ascari. All these cars, including the Sunbeam, are part of the 2-liter formula laid down in 1922 and continued through the 1925 season. Gotta love that the Voisin doesn't even have a round steering "wheel". You went off the road with both the Bugatti and Voisin at 2 of the same spots. I'm definitely a fan of the crop of cars from the 1937 season. I do wish there was a proper mod for the actual Alfa Romeo 12C-37; what's out there is the 12C-36, which uses the chassis and body of the 8C-35 as a starting point, whereas the 12C-37 was a new car with a further evolution of the V12 engine, enlarged from 4.1 to 4.5 liters, and giving 430 hp compared to 360-370 for the previous car. Of course, aside from that and the Auto Union Type C and Mercedes-Benz W125, I think a good 1937 set should probably have the aforementioned 8C-35 and 12C-36, as well as the Maserati 6C-34 and V8RI, and Bugatti Type 59/50. And yes, those machines are beasts to hold on to. I'm definitely looking forward to what you've got coming after this.

I remember even when the 65 GPL mod was launched it was tough to get random races. Plus everyone would drive the Sunbeam because it's so clearly faster.
