This is a fascinating show which was aired in the UK by BBC. Split into 4 parts on YouTube; it documents some of the safety issues and concerns in 1950+ F1 racing. There is some great footage, accompanied by sad and disturbing accident footage—-however it is overall, much much more interesting than just an accident compilation. Well worth watching if you are into F1 history as I have become…
The part in Part 3 where Nick Drake’s music comes on in the background, while they are on Jim Clark’s onboard is just one of the most special pieces of a show i can remember in recent memory—-superb.
(Thanks to John Patterson for pointing this video series out!)
