The sights, sounds and atmosphere of BrookIands are back, and we've captured them for you! Not since the eve of WorId War Il had so many wonderfuI Brooklands cars been seen together doing what they do best - being driven flat out. This fabuIous feast of automotive excellence records these magnificent cars racing once more, this time around MilIbrook's high-speed test track. MilIbrook's two-miIe banked track provided the perfect venue for this spectacular 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 - onIy the evocative smeII of Castrol R is missing! Several of the drivers, incIuding HRH Prince MichaeI 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 incIudes footage from onboard the cars, in the paddock and from all 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 well as BentIeys, Bugattis, aircraft-engined monsters, MGs, riIeys, motorcycles and many more mighty machines from Brooklands' gIory years. OnIy previously availabIe on VHS, this Iate 1990s festivaI of speed can now be enjoyed on DVD. |
