“A History of Motor Racing Part 6: The Champions 1949 to 1954” is a black-and-white film on the history of Formula 1 Racing by Shell and produced by Raymond Spottiswoode. Likely released in the late 1950s, the film addresses the growing interest in motor racing after WWII and highlights the new generation of Formula 1 racers (Fangio, Ascari, González, Farina, etc.) and their cars during the immediate postwar period through footage taken from Grand Prix races across Europe from 1949-1951.

I saw many of these films made by the oil and tyre companies in the early years, pure nostalgia.
My BEAUTIFUL DAD……..FRED FITZGERALD was a Race Car Driver himself back in the late 50’s and 60’s and NEVER Missed a RACE on
TV he lived to watch and went to many of them….When he retired in 2001 he built the first Ford Car himself and would Drive it in
Parades and just loved it and won trophies…. We still have his Car but I NO Longer have HIM and Miss him so much and Always on
Sundays when the Race comes on I know He is still watching but with a much better Seat 💺……
These clips are some of your greatest treasures. Thank you
I like historical episode of Auto racing showing footage of the classic racing cars setting record s and the beautiful country side they drove in
Been looking everywhere for this part! Thank you!
Superb documentary of the early days of F1! Cant wait to watch the other parts.
Thanks! No seat belts, no mirrors, no problem!
12:30 - BRM and it's classic 16 cylinder engine. And only 1.5 litre capacity if I remember right. The pistons were so small, they were like sowing thimbles - tiny! Silly high RPMs for the time. It was like a Swiss watch.
fantastic, thanks for sharing
Classic vid. In the days when it was seriously dangerous! That accident in Le Mans, 1956 was it? Horrendous - so many spectator deaths mainly there. A pure nightmare.
The earliest history of Formula 1! When tires were skinny, drivers were fat, and they were more like a club event than the scripted pageants we have now.
Do you also have Parts 1 to 5 of the series?
None of these drivers were worried about not having rollbars.
I'm guessing... A lot of these drivers fought in a world war..less than 5 ago....thy could care less
@@jasonjackson1100 "devil my care" attitude, took hold.
6:12 Leclerc, is that you?
9:25 The Alfa's took their pit stops seriously, I'm impressed from 1950
If you guys could upload the entierity of these Shell Documentaries ( 1902-1951 ) it would be appreciated, as only lower quality versions are available here.
Unfortunately we've been (so far) unable to locate prints of the missing episodes. We continue to look...
Minuto 05:21 . La bandera de llegada casi mata a Ascari .ja ja
Another Bill dad of Nick Mason film!
Só em 1950
Golden age of Hero's.....stopped watching when mechanics out numbered Blondes in the Pit Lane...
when the drivers were fat and the tires were skinny
6:03 Dick Seaman.
