Now you can drive Seaman's Delage with which he became famous, and the Mercedes, in Assetto Corsa. Love the history and the cars are a handful to drive!

What a superb finish...1st:2nd:4th !!

The Silver Arrows were winning because they had airplane engines because Germany was forbidden to research fighter aircraft. So Germany's team had army budget that is why it dominated.

hi i cannot find part 3?

History would be made this particular year:Phil Hill would go on to win Le Mans and the F1 world championship.He's the only person have achieved this.

Le Mans needs to re-introduce a stock production class.

Rubber suspension may sound strange, today. Until you think about rubber tyres. Do you know that in a "reasonably priced car" a considerable part of the suspension is taken care of by.... the tyres?

Racing 's golden age.

Some of the back stories were just as good as the race itself.

Our neighbour was called Reg Sole His letterbox had R Sole written ot

As a boy I did not know about dick seaman

It's incredible how long it took racing car builders to realize porsche had put the engine in the right place decades earlier.

Straight away 'in England' #YesScots

His name was Dick Seamen?! that must have caused some giggles, even in the 30's

Back when Stirling Moss was young and had hair. The sound of the mallet tightening the knock off hubs brought back memories of my XK-150 roadster.

Is that Tazio at 39:23 smoking a cigarette?

Drivers were so brave then

Loved these shows, I saw them in the early 90s. Great period footage and nice runs and commentary by Watson.

German GP not Nazi GP. Yes it's true that Geman companies built better car on purpose.

Its so stupid to talk about Hitler like he was a positiv person

I had a GT6 for about 10 years! It was a mechanical and electrical nightmare! But it was a blast to drive and looked like a "baby Jag"!

Awesome video😊

I'm just looking for Lucien Bianchi and Georges Berger in the #15

I always wondered why they didn’t switch SEAMAN with the top nazi driver once he fell out for the REICH. Guess I’m smarter than they were😉

Does anyone know what the size the Le Mans 1965 flag is? Are they all the same size?

Where is part 3?

I think Richard was misunderstood! He didn't care about politics he just loved racing! This was a little before everyone knew what kinda of monster Hitler could be. 🏁

Only just come across this, my grandfather was Ken Richardson, and what a great team and time it must have been!

#LeMans24 Last win for Ferrari... until this year.

As I said in the last segment. Awesome footage. Please where can I find segment 3? Once again thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much for this. A bit of history I know little about. Great footage. Will there be a continuation to this? Thank you for sharing. Geat stof!

WOW that was excellent. Some AMAZING film footage, really really really enjoyed this thanks for posting 😮😮😮

Great video. Love these style roadsters. The sound superb. Love to see more classic racing of these cars today. I just can't imagine why they didn't incorporate roll bars & or caging around the drivers. Thanks so much for posting.

One major fault of the movie: Dr. PORSCHE did not found Auto Union. He was a engineering advisor for Auto Union.

all comments here referring to part 3 - the link is correct but the video won't respond even grabbing it wont work. a new link would be appreciated please.

5:40 The only thing those cars really wanted was to grow up and become Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. 🎶 Oh you pretty Chitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang We love you.🎵 Good luck getting the song out of your head 😂😂

FJB!

Brittan empire controlling half a world was complaining about Germany annexing its own people.

The giuda don't like competition.

A very interesting story about a young man of whom I have never heard before. Damn that bloody war.

Excellent, thank you.

During my time in the RAF I had a tour of duty at RAF Finningley. Number six flying training school. I worked in the Air Engineers & Air Loadmaster’s school, looking after the training aids. I was always a Ford fan but don’t misunderstand me, when I saw this clip for Triumph Spitfires at Le Mans, I just had to watch it & was not disappointed. Navigators were trained in the school next to ours. I can’t remember the officer’s name but when he saw my GT40 poster he told me that he had driven at Le Man’s in either a Spitfire or GT6. The image that stuck in my mind was when he said that on the Mulsanne Straight he had to take care whenever a GT40 overtook him, he had to be ready to brake, to prevent the engine from over revving as the big Fords tended to drag him along!

nice

Seaman was the favourite driver of the mechanics. If Seaman won we also won. He gives a party. Not so the other driver. Seamans car was always ok. First Seaman then the others. I know this from an mechanic of this time who lived in my village.

Coincidentally, the Narrator, Raymond Baxter used to fly Super Marine Spitfires in WW2. Here he is talking about the Triumph Spitfire.

This series is like stumbling over a Goldpot. Thankyou. A funny side fact to me as a german is that even the highest developed Mercedes racing machine sports their super conservative fabric pattern on the seat (8:27). Like the old southern german oak sofa under a wagon wheel lamp.

Italy did f*ck all during the war so had time to develop cars.

love the in-car sound from 'Le Mans' accompanying images of a modest MG tootling along a country lane.

A hundred miles an hour in the dark with no seat belts, wearing T-Shirts, it's another UNIVERSE away, isn't it? Those 'shark-nosed' Ferraris were virtually unbeatable that year, in F1 and Sportscar Racing; Moss' win the little Lotus at Monaco was about their only defeat. At Rheims for the F1 race the Ecurie entered 5 cars; only one of them finished, but it did win!
