You gotta love it. Footnote, three men were killed, let's race. It's 3 AM and I can't stop watching this. Great series. Many pictures I have never seen before.

I keep thinking of something I read about the drivers being ex-soldiers. One of them was quoted saying it was the first time in years that nobody was shooting at him, so the danger of the race was nothing in comparison.

They certainly had an unorthodox safety approach. Love the cheerful music segueing so seamlessly into the mangling that follows.

156 mph in 1919 😮 With no harness, no roll cage, and no helmet. Just balls of steel!

But now only 1 racer per vehicle, which reduced casualties with 50% :P

Great improvement over 10 years prior, cars and video 👍

Back when safety wasnt a concern and men risked their lives in these races. What a time

People say that as if burnt corpses were masculine or glamourous in any way.

I would love to see Hamilton and Company change wheels in the pit themselves. With a mallet. And then the Pendine Sands and Daytona Speed Record runs. What a fantastic time. I was just born too late. Oh, and about Babs, Parry Thomas's car, was buried on the spot only to be recovered in the 90's.

It looks glamorous but I can assure you, it wasn't that fun to live back then. Can't just cherry pick the cool bits, gotta take the poverty, huge child mortality, rickets and consumption, too.

@@akschmidt2085 all of that is overblown so the overlords that indoctrinate and socially engineer everyone can make people think their authoritarianism is better for us. Accept all the shit nepotistic trillionaires are doing to usher in an era of authoritarianism cuz they told me the rockets was bad

Years later , Ascaris son died motor racing at Monza in 1955. They were both exactly 36 years when they died.may they rest in peace. Brave men.

150 mph back then is Fantastic

Thanks for sharing, it's interesting to see the evolution...

Gaston Chevrolet was the last Frenchman to win the 500...until this year.

Tazio Nuvolari was one of the really fearless dare devils who pushed it to the limit. A prime example of why Grand Prix drivers became the highest paid racer's in the world.

500 mile races in 1920's? Unbelievable

@The PretzelHead - the 24 hrs. of Le Mans winners in the 1920s covered well more than a 1,000 miles and I believe last year the winner covered over 3,600 miles!

Number 19 Alfa Romeo is driven by Enzo Ferrari! How cool is that! :D

Cool.

The audio in this entire multi-part documentary is about 3 seconds out of sync with the picture. That can all be corrected with KZread Studio without removing the video.

How do you fix it in studio?

21:59 Miller race cars. I think that is Preston Thomas Tucker standing behind the car, (He worked with Miller designing rear engine race cars and others and won several championships) His USA "Tucker" automobile company was destroyed by congress 20 years later, and we lost that freedom to compete too.

Directed by Nick Mason's dad!
