The colour portion of this film is the Melbourne loop which is still there today Though sadly not part of the circuit anymore! In the late 70s my mate and i fitted speedos to our bicycles, i achieved 48 mph which was very scary!

Thanks for the upload. Wow color footage in 1938 of racing. awesome.
I live 20 mins away from the track. So amazing to see this footage on an otherwise familiar place!
Take a look at Donington Park - Car Grand Prix - October 1937,more colour footage there.
WAIT ! WAit ! Wait ! ... So there was a guy in this race called "Dick Semen" ?! WOW ! His parents had tons of english humor !
Unfortunately he died at spa the next year in 1939
