Some pretty horrendous crashes from pre-war and early 50's.
No seat belts or crash cells then!

Really impressive... I doubt they all survived though, some of the crashes are terrible :s

Great to see the old cars, and the Le Mans start at the beginning was fantastic, but I had to stop watching it because its pretty certain some of them couldn't have survived and it seemed a bit morbid and voyeuristic.

Yea, I know, I'm a wuss paperbag

The Bentley Drivers Club has a meeting on the 13/14 with plenty of pre war action, hopefully no crashes, and even some modern tvrs running on the sunday..
