“There are no serious accidents” followed by footage of a man nearly getting mowed down, a car flipping over a barrier, and a car flying 10 feet in the air.
This is an excerpt the wonderful "Shell History of Motor Racing, done in 1964. It's never been brought out on DVD but is a must for anyone interested in the history of motor racing. I've never seen anything, including the closing credits, identifying the narrator but he sounds an awful lot like Patrick MacNee.
How cool is that when I recognized Monte Carlo Circuit then after that right turn, I was expecting the Monaco tunnel but there was no tunnel back then to my surprise.
Such a glorious sight to see these races!! Big huge thunderous sounding engines behind those car shells, i was starting my day and this video just polished my day start!! Thank you very much uploader!♥️
1:41 Those were gentleman! 👏 Just finished a really hard race, and he has a big smile to be saludated by Monaco royalty. Amazing sport, those were heroes.
@@Davyfb75 There is a tunnel - it was just a lot shorter than the present one so you had to travel further around the right hand bend before you entered it. The "modern" tunnel was first seen at the 1973 Monaco GP.
What if not only the car but also the driver and his entire crew as well. I wonder how will our modern Racers stack up to their skills on the track. I’ve been trying to search up their techniques it seems quite similar in turns and passing but i will do some more research on it If japan were to make a manga/animated series on this then i would definitely love to see it
1930s Pit stop: Driver has a coffee, does #2, smokes a cigar and rejoins the race still in the lead. 2022 Pit stop: Driver barely has time to prop himself up for a good fart....zooooom.
I can’t imagine what it must have been like driving on those streets in those old cars with their ridiculous top speeds and their brakes made out of old rags and bits of scrap…
Not a crazy question ,as Harry MIller was experimenting with front-wheel drive cars and Bugatti had introduced 4WD racers at the time. But seems they didn't win anything.
A lot of these cars were capable of 130 - 170 mph. Some cars (though not racing cars) were able to do 200 mph+. The Sunbeam 1000, driven by Henry Seagrave, reached 203 mph in 1927.
4:40mercedes comes to francd to race . They had to win Rudolf Caracciola was the greatest driver second maybe to fangio by then mercedes team principal alfred neubeur. He was hired by hitler and the key mercedes headcount to win.he had build the team bigger than 5-10x the size of competitors during the ww2times.they had 5times as many engineers and mechanics and fod the racing team itself they took to every gp. It was total dominance.there was no chance of failure.
The 1934 Mercedes W25 had almost 500 bhp with a weight of 750kg. Topspeed with that could have been up to 300 kmh. The land speed record in 1934, with a streamlined chassis and a V12 was 317 kmh.
I would say whoever among the modern drivers are best in the wet would be the fastest in these old cars. I think the hardest part of the modern drivers would be adapting to the track conditions. Modern tracks are like glass they are so smooth in comparison.
In front of who everyone participated in the races then when there was no safety, helmets, reliability of cars, it remains only for him to take off his hat.
No the driver was George bailey. Broke his wrist lol. Unfortunately he did die a few years later. Hit the outside wall at Indianapolis and his gas tank exploded :(
Not so strange. Originally, Ferrari was just a team who raced with cars from other manufacturers (for a period, it was the Alfa Romeo racing team). It was after the WWII that Ferrari began a car costructor. And if you see, on Ferrari race cars, there are three badges: -One rectangular on the front (the brand of the car manufacturer) -Two shield-shaped on the sides (the brand of the racing team, in Italian, of the "Scuderia")
Why is always this drivel about the support both of the German producers had got? Did the other countries have been to much of a skinflint to support their producers? Then I don't understand why they all are still whining about that, after eighty years. Could it be, that even with a mighty support they wouldn't have succeeded?
+Carl Napp Could be, could not be, we'll never know. Countries leaders have different priorities, even to this day some industries will get national financial support while others will not. What i found more interesting is the early mid engine designs, which were apparently abandoned in favor of front engine designs for almost 20 years.
When I take into account the fact, that at the beginning the Auto Unions were very hard to handle and Bernd Rosemeyer was the only one to really master them, I can understand the tendency to avoid rear respectively mid engines. Later one due to new chassis suspensions and better tyres, it was different. After all, I think the conventionals in the fifties like those from Italy, UK and Germany were much better looking racing cars. To me, a real Indy car is with a front engine.
“There are no serious accidents” followed by footage of a man nearly getting mowed down, a car flipping over a barrier, and a car flying 10 feet in the air.
Well, not serious in the end :D
AND A GUY DIYNG TRYING TO GET UP THE CAR
in this time anything less than 12 casualties is considered an uneventful race.
Only 3 people died that race that’s something the safety people would have been proud of
In these days that was considered calm in motorsport 😆
''There aren't any serious accidents'' *Car flies off the track*
He was right.. the cars did not get wrecked this race
Just 3 race drivers died
Don’t worry, Lakitu rescued them like he always does in Rainbow Road.

Great footage of pre-war racing. Especially the footage of the Montlhéry road circuit and banking :)
What a strange circuit tbh :D
Very like the old Monza in the way the straight is divided into 2 with one side approaching the banking and the other coming off it.
4:38 : we are in France. Guy with baguette and bottle of wine ! haha :D
Where’s his string of onions.
Such a glorious sight to see these races!! Big huge thunderous sounding engines behind those car shells, i was starting my day and this video just polished my day start!! Thank you very much uploader!♥️
Excellent footage! The W25 Mercedes sound fantastic with their supercharger whine!
Whine is what it was good at
1:41 Those were gentleman! 👏 Just finished a really hard race, and he has a big smile to be saludated by Monaco royalty. Amazing sport, those were heroes.
Truly fantastic. Thank you for this very rare footage.
monte carclo without its tunnel... what a sight
You could not have 2 circuits that are more different what are you thinking of.
@@Davyfb75 There is a tunnel - it was just a lot shorter than the present one so you had to travel further around the right hand bend before you entered it. The "modern" tunnel was first seen at the 1973 Monaco GP.
Imagine how they’ll react if they see modern racing cars.
What if not only the car but also the driver and his entire crew as well.
I wonder how will our modern Racers stack up to their skills on the track.

They'll be mind-blown for sure. And modern racers will mostly win considering all their racing knowledge they got from "racing academies"
Who’s Here Cause That Mafia Definitive Edition Dropping Soon. 😂💯👏🏽
He was lucky he didn't lose his legs! 0:10
ErikGPL I know! he didn't lose his legs
He thereafter put them to good use, suddenly turning into Roadrunner...beep-beep...
no electronics assistant, its just pure and sheer will, drive fast dont crash
man you could almost take a nap at that time during pitstops
a nice time to take a breather.
1930s racing can be goofy and dangerous at the same time
@Todd82TA
is a footage from the 1934 Grand Prix season...
1930s Pit stop: Driver has a coffee, does #2, smokes a cigar and rejoins the race still in the lead.
2022 Pit stop: Driver barely has time to prop himself up for a good fart....zooooom.
Coffee?! I'm sure you meant cognac!
Timing everybody manually must have been so tiring. No wonder lap times were rounded up to the nearest second.
Wonderful...
The old footage of Monaco is amazing
I can’t imagine what it must have been like driving on those streets in those old cars with their ridiculous top speeds and their brakes made out of old rags and bits of scrap…
Also, trying to corner at any speed on those skinny old tires and with those cars and their high center of gravity
As Don Salieri would describe it... this is some fair play
"hey kids! wanna go watch the grand prix.. one average, a driver will most like die during the race."
Fantastic track that montlhery
When I look at these cars, I immediately remember Mafia 1 2002 and.. 5 mission in it))
Also better sounds then now
my god what a deathtrap machines
Power sliding on MayPop rubber ☺
1935 GP season...
Right?
W25
Type C
J.C.
Monaco Baby!! It’s what F1 is all about. 😎
This is not Formula 1
they are really fast than we think
Is this that "Grand Prix 1934" movie? Or is this just footage from the 1934 Grand Prix season, and narrarated?
It's sort of a season review film of the 1934 season.
AUTO UNION FOREVER
... why always «von Stuck»? That drivers name is Hans Stuck.
were they rear wheel drive?
Of course, what else.
Some were actually awd
Not a crazy question ,as Harry MIller was experimenting with front-wheel drive cars and Bugatti had introduced 4WD racers at the time. But seems they didn't win anything.
Whats the song at 2:02 ?
I wonder what was the top speed at the time
A lot of these cars were capable of 130 - 170 mph.
Some cars (though not racing cars) were able to do 200 mph+.
The Sunbeam 1000, driven by Henry Seagrave, reached 203 mph in 1927.
Wieviele sind da gestorben`?
1) Indianápolis 500 0:00
2) Mónaco 0:43
3) Avus 1:53
4) Monza 5: 07
Not Monza, French Grand Prix at Montlhéry
technically they were racing without wearing a helmet....
It's kinda dumb to me
These were men who had fought in WWI. Can you imagine the horrors they saw. They were racing these cars to feel alive again.
Those 'helmets' were there to hold in the earplugs and keep the grease out of their hair...
4:40mercedes comes to francd to race . They had to win Rudolf Caracciola was the greatest driver second maybe to fangio by then mercedes team principal alfred neubeur. He was hired by hitler and the key mercedes headcount to win.he had build the team bigger than 5-10x the size of competitors during the ww2times.they had 5times as many engineers and mechanics and fod the racing team itself they took to every gp. It was total dominance.there was no chance of failure.
The scream of the blowers makes the hair stand on your neck.
I wonder how fast they were going back then.
It looked quite fast still .
The 1934 Mercedes W25 had almost 500 bhp with a weight of 750kg. Topspeed with that could have been up to 300 kmh. The land speed record in 1934, with a streamlined chassis and a V12 was 317 kmh.
Averaging around 60mph through the race
Fast enough to grow some hair on their balls.
Monaco made more sense with these cars haha
For sure
Formula 1 with only ONE Rule...minimum weight 750 Kg.....LOL
whats crazier is, I feel like it might've been maximum. Especially with those massive engines
4:29 Hey its Vlad!
0.75 speed is right
Back in the day when a man could build a skyscraper with his bare hands just so you would stop hitting him in the knees with a shovel.
0:09 I bet bricks were shat there.
5:31
2021 flashbacks
Looks like a forza lobby
4) Monza 5:07
A small accident nowaday is a serious accident in back then
I am wondering how the current f1 drivers could drive these prewar race cars. Who would be the fastest and winner
I would say whoever among the modern drivers are best in the wet would be the fastest in these old cars. I think the hardest part of the modern drivers would be adapting to the track conditions. Modern tracks are like glass they are so smooth in comparison.
Some F1 drivers race or demonstrate these cars even today.
Вот эта Вримина были...
did they see 1934 grand prix races it was a big mistake
In front of who everyone participated in the races then when there was no safety, helmets, reliability of cars, it remains only for him to take off his hat.
That save in the beginning is really something else when you know how those tires are.
I bet the mechanic needed replacement overalls though lol
Alfa Romeo 🍀
👍🏻👍🏿👍🏽👍!
0:18 did he die????? damn!
No the driver was George bailey. Broke his wrist lol. Unfortunately he did die a few years later. Hit the outside wall at Indianapolis and his gas tank exploded :(
эти люди мертвы, эти машины старше твоих бабушки с дедушкой
ferrari mechanics 4:45

Hitler wouldn't have been happy that day.
Races is wwii Wow
Mercedes Benz uber alles
Alfa Romeo uber Alles
ALFA 4 EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
👍👍🏽👍🏿👍🏻 Oo___v___oO!
Benz the King!
Bare ⚰️ volanti!! Alla faccia della sicurezza.,...😂😂😂
Erano gli anni 30, non ci si può aspettare il meglio😂
