1964 Car Racing original film BRSCC A Hard Days Fright 1964 (with bonus video after "the end" )

[@jontisdall6248]

Absolutely delightful. Both historic and wonderfully irreverent. A joy, both to watch and to listen to. Thank you and your dad.

[@iantrott9152]

Thanks for uploading this great footage. My father is driving the Cooper number 7 at the 4:56 mark. I remember my parents telling me when I was young that this was shown at their local cinema, they didn’t even know it had been filmed! I’ve never seen it before :)

[@trevorparker8686]

These fantastic films bring my old magazine collection to life, I thank you so very much.cheers

[@stephenhenion8304]

This is Epic 60's car racing. The music and narration are so "Period Correct". I was 8 years old and hooked on this kind of racing. I've waited until now to see this film. Thanks for Sure!

[@DonDavisGVL]

LOVE these old flicks from BRSSC, and David Roscoe's commentary is terrific. I know I've heard his voice before in a movie or two, I just can't place which. Happy to see the occasional TR3 tucked into the packs, too.

[@lkearney7299]

Pure racing, minimal regulations. Just right! Thanks for putting these films up, they are well shot and narrated.

[@delahayenator]

Great old motorsports movies! Thnx for uploading this material

I used to go to most of the car and bike meetings from the mid 60s and always fancied racing. I did do a few track days there were you could literary drive anything round and I found that my old twin cam Anglia van was just the perfect thing to mix with some of the race cars that were going round at the same time. I couldn't afford to do circuit racing so I chose the oval circuits and went hot rod racing. After a few years I swapped to Motocross and then decided to go classic saloon racing in the late 80s. I built an Anglia and won first time out. After that I raced up until 2012 with many wins and had a fantastic time.

[@HamishRacing]

Great to hear your experiences- the anglias are ace, alway mixing it with the bigger cars and often bettering American muscle cars. I have more of dads films on the Chanel that I’m sure you’ll enjoy from this same period “ sort by most popular” and they’ll come to the top of the list. Enjoy 😉

[@markholroyde9412]

Wow, fantastic, could watch this all day, a time when folk dressed smart, had manners, Integrity, and Decorum....I race around Oulton Park on track days still to this day. Born in '61 and have been around (big/big engined) cars all my life. I find that E type amazing due to having the Ford Galaxie engine in there. I have owned a '68 Plymouth Roadrunner 38 years now here in the UK

[@bizarrefruit]

Oh yes, absolutely, on Brighton beach that very year, there was a wonderful tea party with lots of scooters, pea green suits and fat ties. If I remember correctly they were there to meet up with their good friends who liked motor grease, bikes and leather. Admittedly this is where my memory gets a bit hazy but I think they all ended up hugging. Such a shame we don't have nice, well behaved people like that nowadays!

​@@markholroyde9412 You were claiming it was a time when people had manners, integrity and decorum so I pointed out a famous fight on Brighton beach in 1964 showing that, in fact, people were just as capable of being unpleasant to each other then as they are now. Reality. You too were born in the 60s, yet instead of replying with manners and decorum to a light hearted comment, highlighting the slightly romanticised view you have of the period, you called me clown shoes. It was meant to be a bit of fun, jokingly pointing out your lovely, rose-tinted glases, but here we are, passive aggressive punctuation (hilarious) and all. Thanks for the giggles, I'll be going now.

[@johnhammond6423]

I was going to all those circuits back then. Wonderful memories. Then later on I marshalled at them all, and loved marshalling at the exit of Paddock Hill.

[@louislottner9427]

Cool. light hearted.. the way things were.

[@johndavey72]

Absolutely fabulous footage ! The safety for the marshalls was pretty casual to put it mildly ! Like wise the drivers ! Having lived in Devon all my life the opportunity to watch this was very rare ! This is brilliant ànd will subscribe ! The thumbnail of the Marcos drew me to this . Must have been one of the first to race! Thankyou !

[@kayholmes7920]

Wonderful stuff!

[@n4s117]

Fantastic film - club racing as it was. I raced all those circuits in the 80s and they still looked pretty-much like that. Don Truman - a legend! Anybody got any Croft footage?

[@dodge33cymru]

Amazing, thank you so much for posting

[@douglasmitchinson1936]

Memories, memories and memories! Satorially elegant marshalls, ties and cravats. A few years later on the bank I always wore my BRSCC anorak with pride over jeans and a jumper. Bert Lampkin was the boss, while Nick Syratt was God.

[@barryrudge1576]

The days before the advent of casual clothing, plenty of marshals wearing shirt, collar, tie and slacks. That's about as casual as it got back then apart from taking off the tie and undoing the top button of the shirt.

Are those 3 expansion chambers sticking out of the car in the background of the shot at 4.20 (Cadwell Park)?

They will be exhaust expansion pipes as used for 2 stroke engines

i cant help but thinking motor racing was so much better in the 60's real cars you could buy you didnt have to be a millionaire to get into it

[@HamishRacing]

In the uk you can still get involved with grass roots motorsport and sprints and hill climbs in ordinary road cars. But yes circuit racing requires more “investment” even if it’s safety kit and equipment.
