I'm Paul Hargreaves and I've spent a lifetime travelling the world shooting classic cars in action. These are some of the films and programmes produced by my company World Action Sports Productions and others. These trips have left me with some wonderful memories which you can read about in my book, on sale at www.autoclassique.tv

1:39 'Boyfriend hero'?
It’s 2024.. Henri and Sergio have been gone a long time now.. But, we still view these videos of their heroics, and remember them with love and admiration 💚
How do I get in touch with this Paul?

Hill carried Team Lotus on his back in 1968 after Clark's death, and he won the championship. After he broke both legs at Watkins Glen in 1969 everyone said his career was over. (both legs were snapped in the opposite direction at the knees). He fought back from that injury and raced again. A man of incomparable strength and will. RIP
Wonderful over all and En Detail. I am german and a Jaguar D Type driven by Mike Hawthorn and Desmond Titterington to me is as British as the SR.N4 Mountbatten. Which is missed here equally as the Ring as a racetrack is. Thankyou :)
Thanks a lot
PMO 200! - Spridget royalty 🙂
Oscar Piastri and him are so much alike both on and off the track from everything I have watched on him Clarke and well let’s just say he is a bit of an obsession just like Piastri is
Very cool video. This is my favorite era for Sports car endurance racing. Its a remarkable presentation!!! Thanks
Thank you very much!
Lovely
Thanks
I read a book about this race written from the Aston Martin point of view. One page showed the tool kit for the pit crew. It was pitiful! In fact the picture of the full kit was presented on one whole page of the book.
👍🖐️
Stirling Moss, the perfect 'hare' to break the Ferraris.
Shelby drove in this race with a heart condition he had a nitroglycerin pill under his tongue and won
This was during a great era in racing.
This is like real life Wacky Races.
What a find . Drivers mentioned include Jimmy Stewart , Jackie Stewart’s older brother , and Paul Frere who was very badly injured many years later whilst driving at the Nurburgring . And Peter Collins , who was killed at Nurburgring in 1958 . I saw Collins win the 1958 British Grand Prix two weeks earlier . I was 5 years old !
Interestingly, Jimmy had a similar accident to Jackie's. Over turned in a D Type with fuel pouring over him. That was it for Jimmy, he quit racing that day...

Paul, thank you for this and others on your site. Simply wonderful. Who is the narrator please? And I've subscribed and will look for your book.
Thank you Paul the narrator is Christoper Tate, If you want a copy of my father's book email me nichargreaves@hotmail.com
Subscribed. Fantastic
Welcome aboard!
Stig!
What a gem this video is
thank you
There was only one Jim Clark, never to be equaled.
Thanks for the upload. Always exiting to see the Jags, Ferraris, Maseratis and Astons - which are now worth millions - in raw action. And how surprising and frightening to watch this massive Ford Thunderbird convertible (driven by Günther Isenbügel and Helmut Rathjen) wobbling around the ring. It seems as if even a taxi would have been faster. On the other hand, a comparably bulky and heavy Mercedes Benz 220 S (driven by Reiner Günzler and Helmut Retter) reached 17th overall - a sensational result.
SENNA, FANGIO E CLAK SÃO OS MELHORES ELES ATINGIRAM NIVEIS INALCANCAVEIS 👑👑👑
Salut my friend super car . super video subscribe subscribe .
Thank you 👍
I have seen this firm before but I’ve not heard the the commentary. It is delivered in first person. Do you know who it was? I thought it may have been written by John Wyer as it was not his voice.
This is from a Movie Collection called A Gentleman's Motor Racing Diary, it was shot in SILENT 16mm film by an Amateur Film Maker and Racing fan John Tate. John's Son remastered these films and added the Commentary and Sound, or we'd be watching a SILENT Movie about racing.
@@classiccarsinaction Thanks for the info.
@@perkinscrane The narration is Alain de Cadenet. You can see and hear him on the US Speed channel Le Mans coverage in the 2000 to 2005 approx years. Some of this is on YT.
@@lynnegovus6398 Wouldn't Alain de Cadenet be a little too young for this particular era of motor racing ? Also, it doesn't sound remotely like I remember his voice. It could be him, but I'm not sure.
Fantastic footage, especially the in car. Where is it from?
Il Mito
I remember years ago reading a comment about Jim -"Today any driver will give 100 reasons why he didn't win a race-with Jim Clark that was never the case,even given a halfway decent car to drive your battle would be for second place!" says it all about Jims ability!
Even in 82 the Vauxhall Chevette was outdated, great rally car tho.
for the onboard footage you used a modified version of the sound of Damon Hill's drive in the Ferrari 250 GTO at Goodwood!
I think Masten Gregory was Jim's boyHOOD hero not his boyfriend hero. 😄😄
Good gracious, what wonderful clarity of sound and vision recreation. Which quite honestly is just as well, for there were many sights and sounds worth being there for; truly super. Wonder what the time scale was for that transporter to complete it's jolly?
Many thanks!
I've seen this film before, but with different narration. I recall a "vive le commisar" after the scrutineering bit and showing the fellow chatting with the two ladies. Edit: Either way, it's a treasure. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing I have a mustang & midget
Our pleasure!
Grazie.. Che bel tuffo nel passato!
thank you
4:14 I doubt that this is the 1962 French GP with Von Trips in the list...
I can assure you that it is
@@classiccarsinaction I agree with optyfen - for a start the 1962 French GP was run at Rouen - won by Dan Gurney in a Porsche - and secondly Von Trips died at Monza in September 1961 The footage is in fact the 1961 French GP at Reims.
Brilliant stuff. Thanks. I'm too young to remember or have experienced any of this, but Le mans and it's history are my number one interest. Of note is the 4'03" lap of Sir Stirling as one of the top cars. Which is around what the fastest GT cars were doing recently. Maybe not that accurate, but not far off. Modern Corvettes for instance. Of course the track has changed a lot in distance and layout, but yet another fascinating comparison.
Its a pleasure broadcasting the for you

super
Thanks
La música jode el video😢
I watched Jim drive in the 1967 Canadian GP at Mosport, raining on and off all day the mist coming off the tires was unbelievable anyone behind the first row became invisible once they got on the power how any of those guys could see was beyond human water pouring off their faces only eye goggles for protection. I was watching on a corner that went downhill to a 90 degree turn of course filled with the water running downhill and here comes Jim his front wheels bouncing off the water with 5-6 inches of air under them as he used the throttle to turn the back as push the front wheels back down, no other car did this, they either slowed right down or drove off unable to control the hydroplaning I had never seen anyone before or after pull this stunt off, it was then I realized this chap was not of this world, lap after lap front tires bouncing up and down steering wheel straight and the sound of him stabbing the throttle to make the rear tires and engine torque kick the backend out to negotiate the turn never missing once lap after lap he made something no one else dared to try and driving like it was dry out while both front tires had bounced 6 inches off the turn and about the same 5-6 bounces for that corner, his car making the corner while others were all over the place. They just don't make men like those old boys who with very little could do so very much, modern men would come up with excuses and reasons why this and that is not possible and very unsafe when these guys only used a lap belt if they chose to a set of goggles without tear offs, their faces totally black by the end of a race this is how much confidence they had in their abilities.. Where have these kinds of spirited souls gone, the world could certainly use their vision, commitment, dedication, and courage to do something because it's the right thing to do..
Jim Clark was the GOAT. Senna was great in his generation, Hamilton had Mercedes.
Shame Russell’s interview was cut short , but what he did say was very interesting
what is the car that looks like a ford sunliner convertible with the big spare on the rear??
Thunderbird
Great to keep this 🎉thanks i have 📼 tape still..great production that was shared by Videoactive ireland and VTV 🇬🇧. indeed Jimmy Mcrae won 3 Circuits in a row 1st in HSR Chevette 1980, 2nd DOTI Ascona 400 1981, and 3rd Rothmans Ascona 400 1982. tremendous achievement....@paddy Sullivan VHS 📼 videos 1990s ireland

The tragic death of the young, beloved, and brilliant Jim Clark completely validates Jackie Stewart and later Niki Lauda who courageously defied the “old boy” network who ran F1 and thought it somehow ennobling for a “gentleman racer” to be killed while competing. It wasn’t until the commercial interests took over that driver were treated any better than WWI generals treated their “cannon fodder” enlisted men.
