Supercharged Grand Prix cars from 1924 to 1939 were essentially the same relatively unsophisticated mechanism they are today once you strip them down and and remove the modern gloss. This video is a true Grand Prix history lesson…300+kmh, cross-ply tires, no helmet, no roll bar, no safety on the track…just pure adrenaline and a period where true racing legends were made.
This was grand prix racing at it’s finest. It was a time when racing was something that anyone could have a go at, not just high priced, over hyped “prodigy’s” backed by high dollar over hyped racing teams.
