Wow, such nostalgia.My dad was an avid racing enthuisiast and remember most of the names here. I didn't attend a race until 1969, but this brings back happy memories. Thank you so much.

I was there throughout the 60’s and earlier. Great days of motor racing.

5.30 - oh - 😄 what is the music playing. we used to have to skip about to that in primary school 'music and movement. it sounds like the shadows possibly whereas we had a xylophone vinyl version.

It's called 'Wheels', several people did versions, it could be Joe Loss.

@@jonathangriffin1120 oh bless you -- that's been bothering me from time to time all of my life! ('get those knees up high - be like a tree in the wind etc,') 😆

[@MsVanorak]

raucous 😆 yes, it's the joe loss version! a dansette on the stage of an unheated village hall, stripped down to our vest and knickers. for it to stay in my mind i think they only had the one 45. "you're a bee going from flower to flower" that's made my week and beyond. 😄

Joe Loss version of "Wheels"... takes me back to being a very young girl. By my teenage years (late 70s) I was a punk!

I was stood next to Graham hill Roy salvadori Trevor Taylor and Jim Clark who was putting on his racing shoes, when you could mingle amongst the drivers.....

Brilliant 60s footage. I was there the day the Chaparral 2F won, so brings back some great memories. And I like the 'Director's Cut', too. But the modern-day Elan battle at Oulton - absolutely disgusting driving by the guy in front in the Ian Walker-livery Elan! It's a historic race man, you're not fighting for the World Championship...get a grip! There would've been a coming together if the driver in the chasing car hadn't lifted a few times, I think he showed marvellous restraint and eventually put the other driver in their rightful place through skill not dirty driving...

It's meant to be a RACE, not a leisurely stroll for classic cars.

those 250 gto s makes a fortune nowdays. 70 milj. dollars!!

[@44032]

I drive an automatic, (to the grocery store). I can't imagine making all those gear shifts while trying to control a race car.

[@tangerinedream7211]

Love the cheesy period style, a fair amount of dollar in the day never mind now those swb Ferrari Berlinettas.
