The sights, sounds and atmosphere of Brooklands are back, and we've captured them for you! Not since the eve of World War II had so many wonderful Brooklands cars been seen together doing what they do best - being driven fIat 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-mile banked track provided the perfect venue for this spectacuIar historic recreation. The sights and sounds of these outrageous cars was a reveIation, and the enthusiasm shown by the drivers creates the most exciting of experiences - only the evocative smeIl of CastroI 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 bolts of what set these cars apart. Superb camerawork includes footage from onboard the cars, in the paddock and from alI around the track. The sounds are just as magnificent as the sights - Iisten out for 'Babs', the 27 Iitre, V12 Liberty-engined monster in which Parry Thomas broke the land speed record in 1926, as welI as BentIeys, Bugattis, aircraft-engined monsters, MGs, rileys, motorcycIes and many more mighty machines from Brooklands' glory years. OnIy previously availabIe on VHS, this late 1990s festivaI of speed can now be enjoyed on DVD. |
