Racing The Silver Arrows Part 8

Part 2

[@marguskiis7711]

Fun fact: pretty old Luigi Fagioli had the proper F1 career after WWII going to 3rd overall in 1950. Another: Manfred von Brauchitsch died as late as 2003 being 97 years old and having proper career in East Germany. Third: HP Müller won the 250cc bike world championship in 1955!

As a former race driver (mostly Porsches) I really enjoy this "Racing The Silver Arrows" series. The strange thing, at the end of this video they show "Professor Porsche" who looks like a twin of my Uncle Albert. I cannot imagine how it felt to drive these cars in the rain with over 500 horsepower and skinny 6" tires. IMHO, this was the very best years of auto racing that we probably will never see again. Thanks again for producing this great racing series. The proper choice of background music of Camille Saint Saens' "symphony 3, was the "icing on the cake". Absolutely superb series!!

probably some of the best motorsports content on youtube period. "And so ends a glorious era in motorsports history" The Yugoslav GP...

Thank you for sharing this wonderful series - I have thoroughly enjoyed watching them all.

[@albertschultz7151]

Thank you very much for a brilliant documentary of GP racing in the 30’s. Amazing cars piloted by very brave drivers.

2 AMAZING ENGINEERS IN THIS SERIES: Ferdinand Porsche, and Rudolph Uhlenhaut. Porsche designed the Tiger tank for the Wehrmacht, and the Volkswagen. Uhlenhauts work includes the 300sel 6.3, the 300sl, and the 600 series limo. I had a 6.3, and my neighbor had a 600 SWB. amazing cars. Amazing people. I was lucky to have met Vasek Polak, a great man who brought Porsche to the USA.

That couldn’t have been the Hindenburg, it was most likely the Graf Zeppelin II

I just finished watching the whole series. This was absolutely outstanding! Very well produced, great narration, and incredible footage. I can't get the streamliners out of my mind. What amazing vehicles. Thank you for uploading this.

The greatest era of racing, legendary cars and the legendary drivers.

This series was wonderful! A beautifully poignant ending. How did it go: “We will never see the likes of those again”?

[@OLMEQ]

GREAT documentary... I really enjoyed it !!!

[@maxalfredjoelasemoule3993]

Vielen dank for this stunning documentary.

[@mrrolandlawrence]

wow what a series! never knew about the last Yugoslavia race in 1939

[@dusankocisevic6823]

Yessss. It has been held literally that same weekend when ww2 started. English and French teams retired from racing, so there were just a few cars in top class to compete. Nuvolari won this last GP in Belgrade, and the rest is history……

[@brunovolk7462]

Great Video, without Politics and Propaganda 👍

[@tomschmidt5738]

A very historic series many thanks for presenting it to us !

[@trappenweisseguy27]

My sentiments too. RIP Rosemeyer and Seaman.

No protection what so ever , and driving by the seat of their pants , these were fearless men who must have bin besotted about cars ! Otherwise , were do you get that courage from if you don't care ! Driven by pure passion these gentlemen !

[@brianbelton3605]

And, Manfred Von Brauchtisch uncle, Walther Heinrich Alfred Hermann Von Brauchitsch, was the General Field Marshall, and Commander of the German Army. Recipient of the Knights Cross of the Iron Cross.

Hindenburg? This is 1939. The Hindenburg crashed and burned in Lakehurst New Jersey on 6 May 1937! Me thinks Graf Zeppelin.

[@smokakoka]

belgrade...3.9.1939...cobblestone road... last race of an old era...

[@Kartraceone]

They forgot to mention that 1939 GP ,held in Belgrade, would be the very last one till the next one after the WW2. The first race meeting following the end of the WW2 took place in liberated France in 1945. It would take five more years to have a proper WC GP event taking place at Silverstone in 1950.

[@KristelSitz]

3.21 - this can't be Hindenburg in 1939, because the Hindenburg crashed and burned in 1937

[@mrrolandlawrence]

well spotted...

[@tomeitnier524]

It's the Graf Zeppelin II on one of her last flights over the "Ring".

[@uncleTedK]

I wonder how much R&D went into the rubber compounds for the tires back in these days.

[@gary24fan]

What is the music that plays during the Yugoslav Grand Prix at the end?

[@193322009]

That was the beautiful music of Camille Saint Saens, symphony 3, c minor. Perfect music for this series!!

[@rogerhudson2814]

A sad ending, caused by the curse of war. I never look at any racing films later than 1970. Current F1 is just a farce .

[@TheGrinch_]

Cap 1950s f1 was a farce

[@laureanoarantesnetto8175]
