History of Motor Racing pt 3 1930 1934

While working for Shell Oil, Bill Mason, assembled a classic multi-part film series looking at the history of motor racing from the turn of the 20th Century to the outbreak of WWII.
This comprehensive series showed the rivalry between countries and their cars and the legends who raced the cars.
Tazio Nuvolari for Alfa Romeo and Maserati. Rudolf Caracciola for Mercedes.
This episode sees Bugatti and Alfa fall away as the German Silver Arrows from Auto Union and Mercedes come to dominate Formula racing in Europe. The Nazis are determined to show off their superiority as the Master Race by using racing.

The Indy car winner was a Miller chassis, the engine was by Offenhauser, not Miller.

6:40 Grand Prix are now a minimum of 10 Hours !!!! ??????

[@puebespuebes8589]

I think that if they beat the number of laps to be done they must continue and the one to do the most laps in 10 hour win

12:03 "That's the famous Wilbur Shaw going over the top (flying off the banking), and he's going to rejoin the race in another car." Wow. Racing drivers back then really were like fighter pilots. Those cars were basically deathtraps, and Indianapolis back then was stupidly dangerous.

[@patrickjean-philippe7679]

These cars were definitely not deathtraps.

Too bad the Americans didn't get involved at Le Mans.

[@terraplane49]

They did, in the 20s Stutz and Chrysler were involved, though they seem to have been less active later.
