Pretty nice that you added the background music. Gives it a Roaring 20's speakeasy feel. 🎶🎷🎺
That's the idea, I thought it suited the theme brilliantly 😁
@motorsportmadness Indy was actually built in 1909
Is there a particular reason you chose this layout instead of the one actually used?
It's interesting. British Timing & Scoring from this period, especially at Brooklands, seemed to be just plain weird, as well has having very questionable accuracy in many cases.
Nicecuppatea did the previous car, the 2LCV. Fourty-Too! is the creator of the 15-S8.
Technically, this is the 1927 iteration of the Delage. Fourty-Too! has now also released the modified car from 1936 that Richard Seaman raced.
Fourty-Too! has also released the Miramas circuit, a low-banked oval in France about 5 km around that was used at various points, either with or without a pair of chicanes.
The biggest race at Miramas was supposed to be the 1926 French GP, but 3 of the 4 teams entered didn't have their cars ready in time, so only the 3 Bugattis showed up.
The 1933 Marseille GP had an average speed for the Pole Lap of ~130 mph.
Robert Benoist was one of the top French drivers of his day, GP Champion in 1927, and won Le Mans in 1937. He was killed during the War due to his work with the French Resistance. One of his chief collaborators was fellow racing driver William Grover-Williams, also executed in a German concentration camp.
I guess, to end on a happier note, Rene Dreyfus managed to get out and made it to the States, where he had a pretty good go as a restauranteur in New York City. He actually has what I've heard is a pretty good autobiography, called "My Two Lives".
I did explain it in the video, but basically they was no layout available which was used for this grand prix so it was either the full oval or the Campbell circuit.
Yeah that was an honest mistake & I only realised that it wasn't nicecupatea when I was doing the description for the video & by that point it was too late to do anything about it.
