A British car manufacturer thought that it is absurd that a car can last 24 hours without breaking... That spirit is still alive with British cars.
39:50 And the best phrase award goes to Manfred Von Brauchitsch..." Letting go of the steering wheel, shifting the gear stick, using the clutch, IT MADE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAD BOILING WATER IN YOUR PANTS"....i'm sure he would call it something else nowdays.
I actually met him a good many years ago now ; just like Rudi Uhlenhaut , who I also had the honour of meeting , both of them true gentlemen . My German remains not very good , but both of them spoke good/excellent English .
My grandfather raced in the 1920'ties & 1930'ties in Denmark (cars & motorcycles) - thanks for this kind of video, a great way for me to remember him :- ) (I've done 11years of professional sports in another sport, but had I lived back then I'd have chosen motor-racing :- )
Thanks from Copenhagen
that's awesome, I'm sure he was a great man :)
Excellent)) are i m Looking at these cars , I remember the mafia of 2002 and .. 5 mission in it))) If your grandfather participated in the races then when there was no safety, helmets, reliability of cars, it remains only for him to take off his hat.
Tim Birkin, one of the original 'Bentley boys' was born into a very wealthy Nottingham family that had factories around the world, he was hier to a fortune - Certainly the Bentley boys were of the 'elite'.
It must have been a crazy time for those Bentley boys, living a life of extreme indulgence, whilst at times living on the very edge.
A great video indeed, as for the sound of those Bentley's......!
www
Some of the best footage I've ever seen. Gold.
Wonderful footage. Thank goodness they have been preserved. Thanks for posting it.
I so wish I could go back and visit the past.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this doco.
Absolutely fabulous !!! Proper racing, not a computer or silicon chip in sight ,!
Wow, great stuff - thank you. The other cars look tiny compared to the Bentleys, their drivers must have been terrified as the huge monsters roared past!
Racing is the birthplace of better cars.
Wow. True heros and classics.
'scuse me. The Sopwith Camel had a Clerget 9B engine built by Ruston Proctor Ltd in Lincolnshire and Gwynnes Engineering in London. W.O. Bentley had absolutely nothing to do with that. Yes there was the Bentley BR1 and BR2 that were knock offs of the Clerget, but again the main design was French. The RB1 and RB2 powered some late Camels from the Navy, after 1918.
Absolutely incredible documentary!! So awesome!!
Für jedes Fechte Unterricht.....Vielen Dank
Excellent, thanks for the posting!
I hope Mr Boddy is comfortable, I get a neck pain just from looking at him.
26:05 "Fill it up please..."
Excellent. I didn't realize Ferdinand Porsche had worked for Benz
Likewise. Amazing that the Mercedes Monza that won the 1926 German Grand Prix was designed by the same man as the Auto Union Type C that won the 1936 German Grand Prix. Poles apart! Dr Porsche was certainly an adaptable man.
Today Porsche Engineering designed the Harley Davidson evo engine and the whole V-Rod Modell line for HD. Porsche designed the Tiger tank as well. Porsche is first of all engineering and then a car manufactur.
@@hartmutwrith3134 Nazis ordered many designs from them, for example the Volkswagen beetle, which was designed to be affordable car for normal people that no German manufacturers did make at that time (Hitler was fan of Henry Ford). But the tank that became known as Tiger was not a Porsche design. Porsche was in the design competition and submitted a prototype for it. Porsche's entry was the VK4501(P), "Porsche Tiger". But it did not get chosen, instead the Henschel design was chosen. Both although share some same parts like the Krupp turret. The Porches Tiger tank had electric drive motors, so the transmission was so that engine drove a generator and electricity was used to drive electric motors to move the tank. But the electric driveline needed a lot of copper which is obviously one of the reasons it wasn't chosen.
@@hartmutwrith3134 Agreed.💯. Man did it all after Karl Benz
@@wopmf4345FxFDxdGaa20 Porsche stole the design for the Beetle from Tatra's designer Hans Ledwinka.
Tatra was suing Porsche but that was cut short when Germany annexed Czechoslovakia. After the war VW paid off Tatra the moment Tatra had a commercial presence in the West.
My mate has Woolfe Banartos supercharged gp sunbeam engine out of his hydroplane,it's going in Henry seagraves 1922 gp sunbeam.

great doc
Awesome...............................
Nice!!
Wow that's huge
Very nice documentary thanks!
Looking at these cars , I remember the mafia of 2002 and .. 5 mission in it)))
I can remember that time
I would love to a Bentley from that eara in my street stock circle track car!
15.000 a week in the 20s that was an awful lot of money then, it's still a lot money today, unbelievable.
One really big flaw: The GERMANS are largely unmentioned in the early part of this video, yet Karl Benz is responsible for bringing us the car.
This is part of a series i think.
@F loyd111 WRONG!! The ban was imposed AFTER WW2, NOT BEFORE!!! The ban was lifted in 1948. During this time, MB went back to making their usual models of car. Once they were slowly being let back into international competitive motor racing, they soon were back into their winning ways. Yes, I DO KNOW THIS AS FACT!!! I have this information here too.
It was NOT the Nazi regime who put up the money in the beginning. Early years of motor racing & the need for faster cars can be traced back to the speed crazy French.
What a second-rate actor Hitler was. The big, self-satisfied smirk on his face after his public gesticulation... 39:35
At 0:35 an Auto Union. At 39:39 (Over Hitler's right shoulder) Klaus Barbie, before he became known as the 'Butcher of Lyon'.
26:06 - 14 shows a Bentley pit-stop. Petrol is pouring over the rear of the car, and the mechanic uses his hand to lover the fuel level so that the filler cap can close. Insanely dangerous..... amazing there was no fire
+Paul Standeven Oh sure, what's a little gasoline on the sidepipes.
That was the norm up into the late 1960's. Fires were an accepted risk.
A trifle deceptive at the end. Bentley was a sports car manufacturer. Mercedes and Auto Union were building race cars.
As your watching this, its well to keep clear overall perspective. The British motor racing, like all things under the Crown, were rigidly part of the maintence of the class system. The now lionized racing of that era was very strictly the provence of the very wealthy. Try to enter a self constructed/designed car and see how far you would get. Even if you initially had a backer, the "rules " games would start. Much like the rules in English prep schools, they were written to "discourage" "outsiders". Yes, other teams from other nations were partially government supported. But in other countries a small group could show up with a modest effort. It wasn't the populist post war American Hot Rod scene, but it wasn't a carefully class controlled atmosphere of Britain which is now so celebrated.....
big business & politics influenced the sport in all countries, in Britain in a more roundabout way
And look where that class regulated system has taken up to. A clown as prime minister, a kleptocricy for a government and post brexit, a sad lonely little country, isolated and filled with unskilled apathetic drones.
@@PurityVendetta 💤
Not really part of the class system, but cars were very expensive so only the wealthy could afford to race. WO was, himself, middle class.
I'm very glad we have and had the class system here. Damn good show 😊
Was Bill Boddy ever officially declared the last of the Dinosaurs !!! .
Otto Merz was never mentioned. He won the Nurburgring race, sorry, I know it was a misspell, but he won that race.
So don't bentley race in any motorsport then? I thought I'd seen a pic of a continental racing somewhere with all the sponsors and that on the car. Anyway this was a cool video and I love old school race cars from the 20's and the 30's!
"Violently opposed to the use of superchargers", really? Vehemently opposed perhaps.
Berkin went on to win Le Mans in an Alfa Romeo in 1931. Also, Lagonda may not have had the success of Bentley but they did win Le Mans in 1935.
Lagonda was basically the continuation of Bentley. After the original Bentley company folded, WO Bentley founded Lagonda...
Vielen Dank für die Bemühungen....Freue ich mich sehr....
Man sagten Races....Wünsche ich es Euch allen Händwerker & Beruflicher haben.....Vielen Dank für die Bemühungen
Excellent doco and old footage. How about giving some credit to the people that made it?
The good old days before roll cages.
I was born long after all this but the Bentley legend was still talked about but it was always the Blower Bentley that was the legendary car so it always strikes me as odd when I watch documentaries of the Bentley racing years to find it wasn't that successful so why was it the car people seem to admire the most?
Pure and simple chauvinism!
What are the barrel shaped cars at around 9:00?
7:34 is Rest and Be Thankful?
12:30 - So ... you're saying he was a speed freak ?
Well now !? How many cups of Brandy did you give that old mellow chap?

Lemains a long Days.....
Saccaramento Casino.....
This was a great video. Fascinating to hear Bentley's racing history. A pity the company went under and was taken over by RR.
Bentley has come back with some great designs, while RR has had more than a little trouble trying to incorporate the classic grill into contemporary coachwork.
@@mctavish199 Well, if you START with the grill and design an auto around it, that's what you get . . . p'raps RR shoulda frozen their designs at about 1938 . . . .
this is already full video since 4 Jan,2011 / 47:48.
Who is the narrator in this film? He often sounds like James May
British propaganda ? Bently adnauseum . Its not to late to be the greatest !!
Hitler was more interest in an aircraft engine than a car engine but, development in car engines could be used by the aircraft industry.
Wait up! At what point was anyone afraid to be patriotic and wave the flag? This is from a Canadian. Canada is the freaking best, and you'd better get on board with that! 🇨🇦
1934 Races.....
Bentley . . . . . oh well the Romans once were great too, but if you fuck things up . . . . . . .
At 10:33 what type of car is that? French? I'm not sure what it is but it is shown a few times throughout this show. It is an unusual bullet nose style car almost like a rocket on wheels. Would love to get more information on what type it is and it's history. I absolutely adore old French cars from the 20's and 30's. The french (and English) really were light years ahead of others when it came to car manufacturing and design.
Possibly 1922 Ballot 2LS the 1922 Bugatti 30 had a similar nose.
They were so far ahead that the British motor industry no longer exists, and the French is entirely government owned, Citroen Peugeot, Renault and Michelin.

"You wonder how they ever found time to drive cars and race them?" The truth is you didn't need to be that good a driver, simply rich enough to take part.
Whenever there's a sniff of any move toward a meritocratic society here in the UK it's quickly crushed. I can remember a friend, an ex Royal Navy man and mature student, definitely not a 'woke' as all the deferential right wingers like to call people. He wrote his thesis on social mobility within the navy of Nelson and discovered that there was more social mobility in that period than modern Britain. Sad really. So much talent never gets a chance here. Just look at our current government objectively, a bunch of talentless kleptocrats led by an utter clown.
the 1914 grand prix 1-2-3 was due to the fact only the 3 cars entered
To finish first, at first you have to finish. Once I was the last in a race and got thesilver medal...

should be called 1920-1939 as Bentley was finished before the Mercedes and Auto Union got started racing in 1933
Mercedes have dominated Motorsport for 120 years.
@@Fernandwinnie Pretty Much. With some exceptions and setbacks from the Wars
26:00 i hope this is Water for cooling…….
No, it is fuel for burning...in the engine.
DAIMLER DIDNT EXIST, It was Austro-Daimler
Daimler existed til the merge with Benz and created the now well known make Mercedes! And what's with British-Daimler ?
@@knut-hinrichqwalter2463 The company produced motor cars under Daimler patents, hence the name.
Austro-Daimler was a subsidiary and wholly owned by Daimler.
Mercedes-Benz is a car brand produced by Daimler-Benz.
@@gustavmeyrink_2.0 for a short time yes. But Porsche took over Austro-Daimler and it became completely independent. Porsche designed the early Mercedes cars which Emil Jellinek bought the licenses for from them. It wasn't until after it was merged with Skoda that Porsche left to join Daimler.
so in the 20s the British accent sounds like American?
SONIC THE HEDGEHOG GRAND PRIX.
Gotta go fast
Yeah, i get it. As a Canadian, I'd be f'd if a Frenchman, Spaniard, or Italian can do anything better than me, except wear women's clothes. That's a comment on military uniforms.

British=allways good
German=allways bad
Lol
17:00 Maybe it's not wokeness, it's probably the fact that ferrari has been racing in f1 forever and Bentley is only a toy for the 1%.
Since they compete in totally different forms of racing, what is your point? Bentley came back to Le Mans after VW took over and swept it. Spend less time on creating dumb names for yourself.
