Thanks for sharing. Its amazing how far we have come in terms of safety or at least how lacking it was in the past.

Thanks for sharing-- I watched 5 min and look forward to watching the rest this weekend.

Anyone who enjoys this would also likely enjoy Daley's great book, Cars at Speed or the more photo-heavy The Cruel Sport.

This video and "Killed Myself When I was Young" have been making the rounds online lately. I posted both below. They are really fantastic videos. And the books recommended by NOSLO are spot on as well. "Speed Addicts" also has a pretty good comprehensive photographic history of grand prix racing.

Thanks for posting!
