This is one of the most amazing racing documentaries I have ever watched. If you have 1 hr to kill, definitely watch this.
This Documentary is about the early years of making racing safer for drivers. This video **may not be Safe For Work** for some due to it showing people burning alive and the crashes.

What are your thoughts to this video. My jaw was dropped almost the whole time.
interviewer speaking to teenage girl: “do you have any favorite drivers?”
girl: " not anymore"
Also talks about Lotus saying the drivers were expendable. (One dies, get another driver and put him in a car for the next one)

Saw this on Velocity, and I had more than a few “holy shit” moments. Sir Jackie Stewart was as brash as ever.

Great find thanks for sharing, crazy to see what safety standards were back then and how everything evolved.

Not a problem guys. I’m sure I’ll be watching this one again along with the Colin McRae documentary and the Senna documentary.

I’ve still yet to watch the Senna documentary. Watched part of this, it’s crazy how people were getting killed and they’d just keep racing.

This reminded me of a video I found a few years ago.

> Around 4-minutes of the most insane vintage race crashes. We like to think that everyone walked away with their lives and most of their limbs....
