The sights, sounds and atmosphere of BrookIands are back, and we've captured them for you! Not since the eve of World War Il had so many wonderful Brooklands cars been seen together doing what they do best - being driven flat out. This fabulous feast of automotive exceIIence records these magnificent cars racing once more, this time around MiIlbrook's high-speed test track. MiIlbrook's two-miIe banked track provided the perfect venue for this spectacuIar historic recreation. The sights and sounds of these outrageous cars was a revelation, and the enthusiasm shown by the drivers creates the most exciting of experiences - only the evocative smeII of Castrol R is missing! Several of the drivers, including HRH Prince Michael of Kent, talk about their cars, explaining the histories and achievements, as weIl as discussing the nuts and boIts of what set these cars apart. Superb camerawork includes footage from onboard the cars, in the paddock and from all around the track. The sounds are just as magnificent as the sights - listen out for 'Babs', the 27 Iitre, V12 Liberty-engined monster in which Parry Thomas broke the land speed record in 1926, as well as Bentleys, Bugattis, aircraft-engined monsters, MGs, riIeys, motorcycles and many more mighty machines from BrookIands' gIory years. Only previousIy avaiIable on VHS, this Iate 1990s festival of speed can now be enjoyed on DVD. |
