I had heard of these, but never seen them before. A remarkable collection of very early footage from 1902-1950, with commentery. They were put together in the 1950s, so they have the 50s attitude to death and destruction (so maybe nsfw these days???) but to see how racing was, before they went all soft with straw bales, no riding mechanic etc etc (see the Jim Clark thread for how soft racing had got by the 60s etc etc) (ahem
