History Of Motor Racing In 1950s

Title is a little misleading since it covers only international Grand Prix and Sports Prototype championships. However I loved it since that is exactly what I wanted. The only possible criticism is that it is so crammed full of information and moves along so fast that you sometimes have to be ready with the backup button to take it all in. But I thought it was terrific, a documentary account of the "golden age" of international racing.

I was just a young kid during this era of racing. My dad and his friends were racing fans and so was I. I knew a lot about the drivers and cars of this era because of them. This DVD has lots of video of both the cars and the drivers but not a lot of racing though it does include some snippets of racing action. Overall I really like this DVD.

This is where the history picks up at the end of WW II. Follows all the greats from this era. Fangio, Sterling Moss, Graham Hill. Great video good quality. It's the primer for the '60's DVD.

Could have used some careful editing. Some scenes were used for different years. All in all worth the $$$. You are required to be an "authentic" car guy...

I expected much more than what it portrayed. It was just a scripted narration of the seasons wins losses and autos. Most were bits and pieces personal film, and in some situations they would reuse a clip. Would not recommend.

Item arrived promptly and as represented.

Fun for the right fan.

Nice history

Wonderful collection of vintage photos from the 50s.
