The second RRIAM collection I've seen in about a week's time and, this one is very good too! Great narration and multi-camera views make this series really worth seeing. Some famous drivers & make/models of cars back then...There is nothing in auto racing filming like the "grand old years" of the sport!
Yup, it’s dated, amateurish, full of bluster and inaccuracies and aimed at a generic and largely uniformed audience, a true presentation of it’s time. And glorious and all the more informative to we lucky people living now, most of whom would not have experienced such a viewpoint before. Those, of us lucky ones that are still enjoying motorsport at all levels in 2023 and we’re on the planet in the immediate post-WW2 years, this is a breath of fresh air! The year of this film is even aeons away from earlier offerings from Sebring and seems almost space age by comparison to offerings from 1953, a mere 5 years earlier!
My brother found this and shared. My dad is in this. Amazing. I grabbed a screenshot. Thank you.
Many thanks for this precious and beautiful documentary 🔝💪👍
Thanks for sharing another Sebring treasure with us!
What an insane era.
Magnificent era!
