Hello, I'm a researcher on the Discovery series 'Impossible Engineering'. We're looking to use some of this footage in one of our episodes and I need to establish who owns the copyright to the content. Can I get an email from you so we can discuss? All best Ben
Hi Rob, Thanks a lot for getting back to me, that's good to know. The icon at the bottom right of the screen - have you got the original or can you remember the name so I could get in touch with them? Thanks Ben
I think these guys is better than the drivers now because back in those days them never have the broader tyres like us now because you know the broader tyres the car andle better
Amazing the lack of safety equipment back then not even a simple roll bar or helmet let alone a fuel cell notice the fuel tank throwing gas every ware in a couple of the pics or the spectators with no wall to protect them from the cars of course there was none even thought of in the early days we sure have came a long way a NASCAR driver destroys his car at over 150 MPH and walks away !!
@@BrooksBassGuitars ahhh yeah there's also the first world war.. I mean.. and most of these are 50's lots of early indy and formula. You have the rare pre war silver bullet footage but yeah. My point is still valid racing didn't take off really until the 50s. Prostate ww2.
Give it a rest. That is completely normal in motor racing communities online. People do montages with people winning and people dying. Motor racing is dangerous. Nobody forced these people to race.
Fatal or 100% Safety Oriented? Which races were more thrilling? No one wanted to see death but they DID want to sit on the edge of their seats knowing just how horribly dangerous racing was. My God! I hate to see a bad car crash but I'd safely bet that if YOU drove past a horrible traffic accident you would take a peek. It's human nature, but doesn't mean you WANT to see people crash and be seriously injured because THAT IS Sick.
0:30 that famous human guard rail masterpiece
Safety equipment: Don't crash
😂
I don't know who were the real mad men. The drivers or the ones volunteering as human guardrail...
That was shocking to see.
Nessa época as pessoas eram muito mais loucas!
At 0:30
Quite a few fatalities, there... Drivers, Riding Mechanics and Spectators. Dangerous but heroic days!
Real men, proper racers.
Gotta love this era of seat-of-your-pants racing. No safety gear of any kind for anyone. These guys were a hardy lot, no doubt.
senorkaboom bring it back somehow more entertaining than modern stuff I think
Old Barney Oldfield chomping on his cigar... luv it.
Great video of fearless guys from the old days
No seatbelts, no fire retardant, no roll cage, no tops, and barely any restrictions. These lads were absolutely mad.
Drivers were either nuts , or had a big set of Courage.
Bill Lowe or both
Both!
1:05 Weight reduction, bro!
he's not gonna be having kids if he crashes head on with that steering axle
Back when Racing and Safety weren't in the same dictionary.
The guy was launched @02:56 - 02:58.
So we're just not gonna talk about the poor flying tire at 3:00
Awwww he’s ok. People were tough back then.
He died 2 people died Norbert wylie fred Shaw 1924

Just wondered how they got some of those Camara angels .

Yikes! I'm wondering about the cameraman on the back of some of those cars.
No seat belt, no roll cage!? I'm in.
When you’re drunk as hell and need a thrill
safety gear? goggles! dam that's scary to watch!

How on this green and blue earth,did they manage, to get such great follow cam shots.

Tough Men,Brave Men!!!
Finally! A video with some good music!
the days of hardcore motor sports and the MEN with balls !
lol
When car racing was more dangerous for the spectators than for the drivers themselves...
Great music!
Great film, Shame about the audio !
@4;06, the driver got ejected then disappeared........
that was fucking brutal at 0:31.
Those folks crrraaazy standing that close
How times have changed!
no roll bars ...head higher than car ...genius common sense these wernt mad they were thick as planks
you had to be exceptionally brave to take part in those days
Some of those made my teeth hurt.. Also, why did they have races with 2 people in the car?
They were riding mechanics. Common in the early days of racing.
Great to have the authentic Old Time background music. Where did you find it?
Haha. Actually my band recorded this song and we needed a cool video to go with it. So we made a compilation of old car races and crashes.
The “old time” music is your time is coming by definition of madmen, I believe the song is from 2013
The song was awesome!
thank you
2:34 BIG FIRE WALL
The Duke Nailon wall of fire....how in the heck he survived to race again...must been able to hold his breath like...I dont know 5 minutes.

Yo People back then were crazy as fuck 😂😂😂
0:30 is fatal
Good song!
back then, chasis were strong af. hope you don't die when crashing
Not only were drivers back then much braver than today, but they raced for one helluva lot less money than today!
Big Balls of Adamantium!
Safety wasn't a high priority back then.
One step from hell crazy humans with balls 1 billion respect.
Why didn’t they have roll cages or roll bars?
were not even thought of in the early days we really have made great strides in motor sports safety !!!
They weren't gay.
Back then they didn't realize you don't have to risk your life to get a girl.
1:10 What the actual fuck? Xd
I don't know... but I dig the gopro
Someone should tell him smoking is dangerous!
Ball's of steel
Cigar ,handlebars would could go wrong?
yeah,fuck that
look for 'on the beach' with gregory peck and fred astaire and ava gardner and a lot of crashes at the end of the last ever world war.
The famous slogann was born...NO RISK..NO FUN..DIE IN THE FAST LANE..The earlier you die..the longer you're dead😮
crash = 90% kill
1910s 1940s decades
How do they drive with balls that big?
xIxSharpshooter77xIx The balls were in their pants and the pubes were the car
Inversely proportional to their brains - smaller head, better aerodynamics.
Hello,
I'm a researcher on the Discovery series 'Impossible Engineering'.

All the footage is vintage footage that we found on TH-cam. We don't own any of the rights.

Human carnage
BALLS
Seat belts & roll cage who needs them
To uploader: you know some of these are fatal, right?
Absolutely. That's the nature of the sport as we have all gathered throughout the years. These drivers know the risks. Enough said.
The drivers did not have to live with being dead. Their families did though.
The people back then were alive untill they died. Today we'r dead while alive. Long live the new tech.
この時代のカーレース死に対しての危機感が0過ぎて怖い
Definitely some death there.
Why not have music of the time? This racing is nothing to do with this music.
Great video, even with the repetition. Sucky sound track
I think these guys is better than the drivers now because back in those days them never have the broader tyres like us now because you know the broader tyres the car andle better
Fucking crazy!

Much better with the sound muted.
From 2 minutes. Driver is not alone... Maybe coal charger man? :-D
Wtf who needs seat belts? All these guys!

People die at the track...
All you people saying balls of steel understand these guys where mostly ww2 vets so they where just chasing the dragon that is warfare

Totally inappropriate music
David Bentley thanks i thought it sucked too.
put some techno noise on it that always helps
That music 😩. Kills the whole clip.
We made the music and then the video from all the old footage
😖!
No mask wearers in this crowd.
Music sucks
so you've just made a montage of a couple of fatal crashes. a montage, of people being killed. you should probably seek help.

People were killed in some of this footage that you put rock music on. Get lost. Thumb down 👎
Would Reggae or Country have been more appropriate?
Horrible music ruined the video
Awful music
Thank you.
Great music!
