“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.

''There aren't any serious accidents''

1930s racing can be goofy and dangerous at the same time

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.

Great footage of pre-war racing. Especially the footage of the Montlhéry road circuit and banking :)

monte carclo without its tunnel... what a sight

Imagine how they’ll react if they see modern racing cars.

Wonderful...

Who’s Here Cause That Mafia Definitive Edition Dropping Soon. 😂💯👏🏽

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.
