  • Presented by Castrol, this 1958 documentary "Grand Prix D'Europe 1958" covers that year's Belgian Grand Prix which was a Formula 1 race held at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, also known as Spa. Located near Liège, the 15 km course offers views of the Belgian countryside including the forests of Ardennes. This film was produced by the D. A. Clarke Film Unit, established in 1940 by Denis Arthur Clarke, as part of the British Ministry of Information. It helped produce propaganda films during World War II on a wide range of topics related to the military and civilian life during wartime. After the war, the D.A. Clarke Film Unit shifted away from war propaganda and towards other documentary films such as this one.

    The 1958 Formula One season was the 12th season of Formula One motor racing. It featured the 1958 World Championship of Drivers, which commenced on 19 January 1958 and ended on 19 October after eleven races. Englishman Mike Hawthorn won the Drivers' title after a close battle with compatriot Stirling Moss and Vanwall won the inaugural Manufacturers award from Ferrari.
    The season is known as one of the most important and tragic in Formula One's history, as four drivers died in four different races. Hawthorn announced his retirement from racing after the season, as he had been profoundly affected by the death of teammate Peter Collins. Unfortunately, he died a short time later in a civilian car accident while apparently racing a friend on the highway. Hawthorn was the United Kingdom's first Formula One World Champion driver.

    Thanks for posting this. I had forgotten about F1’s first female driver, Maria Teresa de Philippis. While she had a short F1 career, in this race she outlasted Jack Brabham, Graham Hill, and Stirling Moss.

    Wonderful period film, cheesy script beautifully delivered by biggles Baxter.
    What a circuit it was , and not bad lap times.
    Think the last run over the full circuit was the world sport car championship in 1973, Matra 670s and Ferrari 312 pb.
    I bet many of the current drivers would have loved the old circuit, thanks for this upload.

    Wow, what a great time for this to pop up! On a fantastic Spa race weekend.
    Imagine for a moment if those racers could time travel to today's world, what they might think? Probably just as astounding as what we think while travelling back in time to theirs.
    Mostly what stuck out for me? Lady racer in 1958! that was great to see. So, remember that when someday you hear "Our first female F1 driver" that it was done long ago, before they were born.

    Nice to revisit the Vans overcoming the best of Modena. The course was historic, vast and still somehow quaint..

    And just one month earlier this track claimed the life of one of the greatest British drivers, Archie Scott Brown, a true unsung hero. His death at Blanchimont was the reason fellow Scot Jim Clark disliked Spa. It was Jim’s first race there.
