Please remake this video with a narrator that can pronounce the place names correctly. Cannes is pronounced 'can' not cans, Calais is calay not cal-aye and worst of all the classic American mispronunciation of Grosvenor, you can guess what he says ;-) And yes, I agree, the cowboy drawl is rather grating too...
Having just watched this. I am not sure the narrator is even human! Sounds like an AI produced voice. It’s not a smooth narrative, often broken with obvious joins. Also, the comment that the Blower Bentley’s were soon winning races is wrong as far as I aware. As far as I have read, the only Tim Birkin Blower Bentley to ‘win a race in period’ was UU 5871, the second one built. I am very happy to be proved wrong as I’m no expert. A much better biography of Tim Birkin is the two part Rowan Atkinson bio-drama, ‘Tim Birkin Full Throttle’ which is available on RUclips.
Great story and video. Going into detail of each one was revealing. Thanks.
Well made but terrible delivery. Couldn't listen to that 40-a-day voice.

American narrators set my teeth on edge with their inability to pronounce correctly.

I'm with you on that , so many of these videos are spoilt by rubbish narrators , and so many incorrect facts too !
