Dick must've been teased at a younger age. And what were his parents thinking to name him that? A handsome gentleman, he went on to superb racing success with Mercedes. He was Britain's lone first-rate GP driver that era.
I read that the Alfas that dominated the first 2 years of the formula one world championship in '50 and '51 were still basically pre war technology. So the Alfas were pretty advanced even here, which goes to show how good the Mercedes were. It took another 22 years for rear engine cars to dominate Grand Prix racing with Cooper and Jack Brabham. We never had Auto Union in modern F1 but they did dominate le Mans and sports cars for a good portion of the last 20 years.
Elly was given a first-hand example of Bernd's fog driving when he was driving a normal road car on a country road in dense fog and she was passenger. He was driving as if there was no fog at all. She could see nothing, but Bernd would pull over to overtake - and indeed a car would be there! She said that had she not been in the car with him, she'd never had believed it possible.
dick seaman wins donington 1936 with the swiss pilot hans ruesch, teh firs not english winner a british gp. with an alfa romeo 8c fo ruesch's property (formerly suceria ferrari). this is a serious omission
Shot at 16 or 18 frames per second and played back at 24 frames per second. Slower speed of film means you don't use as much capturing a certain event. Film needs 24 fps for sound (16 or 18 fps shot with no sound).@@americanpride9733
""the greatest of them all is young English driver Dick Seman" i assume its contemporary double meaning is something recent (much like boners were at one point just skellingtons) but i can not just leave that unattended. Seems like Bugatti did not realy do much in 36 GP season strange.
3:33 that must have been one hell of a game!
Such a shame a War interrupted all the fun!!
a war? what war was that? lol.
WW2, in 1939 smh
@@carlcushmanhybels8159 The Germans invaded Poland in 1939, Which caused World War 2.
Wonderful to see Rosemeyer's victory in the Eifelrennen - due to the fog, there is very, very little footage out there :-) Thanks for uploading.
There was a guy with the name Dick Seamen or Seaman. Dear lord 🤣🤣🤣

2:25 "From now on, Rosemeyer is famous as the Master of the Mist"
+bruno vidoto That race will always be Bernd's wedding gift to his wife Elly, 13 days after their marriage, which was Bernd's lucky number.
@@TheLegitaMate1 Here 13 is not exactly a lucky number.

Awesome footage. Vielen dank!

There was no le Mans race in 1936!
They seem as fast as todays f1 at the hairpin lol
I never understood why they sped up these videos

Low framerate to conserve film in the original. So they often overcrank the replay.
Pure race
Quando o Mônaco tinham ultrapassagens. Hoje esse circuito não suporta esses carros com tantas tecnologias. Praticamente zero de ultrapassagem.
yes it is a supercharger
Did we have a British racing driver called "Dick Seaman" ............pahaha!
supersteveo20 Awesome pilot!🇬🇧
German Grand Prix it says Nuvolari had a DNF because of his rear axle
Crazy to think that Mercedes Benz is racing since thirty's
Street signs said Dundonald, Belfast lol love ut

A wonder know one has made a movie about Dick Seaman
💀💀💀

Bugatti were past their prime by this stage. The German teams, plus Alfa, had left the French team way behind.
He died leading the race at spa sadly.
Great stuff!
Can I ask what the high pitch squeal is coming from the Mercs??? Is it a supercharger or something?
Yes it is a supercharger
