50's motor racing 6 Jan 2006
By A Customer
Very comprehensive assessment of 1950's motor racing giving a flavour of the sport after to the war with some excellent colour footage up to the late 50's.

Colour footage of the Autounion and Mercedes cars of the late 30's as well, which is very rare.

Well worth the money!

The Best! 17 Dec 2007
It doesn't get much better than this. The 1950s - the beginning of Formula One racing. It's a must-have for every person who is interested in the history of Formula One and how it all began. Includes some great and very rare footage.

Ever wanted to see a compilation of original 1950s Formula One and sports car racing footage on one DVD? Yep, me too.

"The History of Motor Racing, 1950s" is a great film which features plenty of colour (and black and white) footage from the heyday of Stirling Moss, Juan Manuel Fangio and Mike Hawthorn. Covering the Formula One World Championship, Le Mans, the Mille Miglia and even Dundrod there's something on this DVD for everyone, including footage that most people might not have seen before.

Taking us through the decade year by year, it covers the major motoring events and tells the story of the development of the formula and changes in attitudes to racing, particularly following the 1995 Le Mans Disaster.

The commentary is informative enough, although if you're anything like me it'll go in one ear and out the other as the footage does grab most of your attention.

A great DVD for the collection. Get out your rose tinted glasses and watch in awe!
