“THE BRITISH GRAND PRIX” 1955 FORMULA 1 AUTO RACE AINTREE, UNITED KINGDOM STIRLING MOSS XD78215

I say 0 to 200 in 7 seconds that has never been done before here in Great Britain.

C'est un vrai privilège de voir ces images,ces pilotes étaient talentueux et téméraires,pas un seul en 2023 ne feraient UN grand prix dans les mêmes conditions,alors que l'inverse sans problèmes,voir mieux....😉

I have an original photograph of the Mercedes team taken the evening of this race that was signed by all the drivers/team/engineers/manager. Bought by my Grandfather at an auction around that time and never displayed. Fascinating stuff.

How lucky that I work at this very place and get to drive around this track almost every day, special....

The narrator uses the phrase, "...and now..." just too many times. Very poor

Beautiful racecars, great sounds.. Fantastic film! Thanks for sharing 👍
Greets from the Netherlands, T.

Thank you very much for providing this video to us.
Brillant!

This was before the future 'sissy' generation's smothered adventure or any risky sports or activities with restrictions and rules that took away the very reason for such deeds.

My father was very close to Ken Tyrell, we lived very close to Kens workshop in a Ockham. As a boy, my father had a Rambler classic station wagon and needed some main bearings for an engine rebuild. We went to a place in Chiswick, owned by the same company that run the Vanwall racing team and i was allowed to sit in Sir Sterling Moss's Vanwall race car. You're never understand the feeling i had on that day. Racing when men were men, and women knew their place......lol 😂.

La orden de equipo era dejar pasar a Fangio para que gane la carrera. El Chueco era un caballero y no lo paso. Moos siempre recordo ese compañerismo.

Extremely hot weather, it being in the summer what a surprise, 68 years later it has a new name... global warming. The days when daring dos, daring did.

I wonder if anyone will notice the timecode burn on the screen.

If only we still had this horsepower at aintree

wow, not even two minutes in and this is immense. Great upload. Glorious. I've seen excerpts of this but never the entire film..

The pits are just a lay-by at the side of the track, they would have kittens today, not to mention health and safety.

Sounds like Raymond Baxter

Lol the cars were so slow back then

Hi, I sub your interesting channel, cheers Fabrizio

Back in the day when F1 was done for the love of it rather than for the money.

Warm summer day at Aintree F1 yet no mention of global warming. How times have changed. 😏

When you think about it, it was probably more fun sitting up in minimal protective gear and sawing at the wheel rather than the implantation modern composite open wheelers provide...well until you roll over, catch fire, or nail a concrete abutment at 120mph...

You can always pick out Neubauer in a crowd...

Totally Nuts !!!
No Roll Bar over head height, No protective Racing suit just pants a short sleeve shirt and awful open racing helmet not much better than a Jockey's !!!! 😳
Terrible what they didn't know then !!!

This was true car racing

Great driver El Chueco

Fantastic video. I don't think I ever saw film this early of Moss and/or Fangio. So glad it's been preserved and is available. Thanks for posting.

That's a proper Grand Prix race. 3 hours and 7 minutes, being battered by the elements. 25 entrants, 9 finishers... and the most romantic names Ferrari, Maserati, Vanwall, Cooper, Gordini - oh alright, Mercedes...

I used to go to Aintree & Oulton Park to watch BRSC racing in the 50s

A sky full of industrial smoke, reduced visibility. Counted as "a fine sunny day over Liverpool docks" in the 50s. 🙃

Could they overtake without DRS? 😃

As dangerous and often fatal as the era was, one can't help but mourn the loss of such a raw and innocent age.

Noticed that all the race cars ended in even numbers. Why was that?

As an F1 fan in the current Era since the 80's, what a crazy time capsule. These chaps look like they just came off the course from a round of golf and now fancy themselves a motor race ~ Those must have been some hard bias ply tires because they were sliding around any thing resembling a corner.
Changing plugs during a race is quite interesting. That's long before my time.

In the late 50s I followed the career of Sterling Moss with an unshakable determination to eventually eclipse his fantastic record of wins... and the future would be mine.
Clandestinely spending all my spare time at the library, secretly studying every aspect of motor racing was admittedly strange behavior for a 12 year old. My working class parents were of the opinion that any time spent at the library by a boy of any age (unless say, maybe he was hired for custodial work), could be reason for serious concern. If in their worried state, one day they learned that all my time studying was spent honing nonexistent driving skills?! ...that might have marked the date of my first 72 hour observation in hospital.
Sadly, stress ended my racing career before lap 1.

Make sure your hit your marks! The sixteenth piece of grass before the tight left handed!

So nice of Fangio to let his teammate (and friend) celebrate a win in front of his people.

I was fortunate enough to own a Healey 100/4 back in the 70s as my daily driver. What a handful that was !

The days when driver skill won the race and not who can fill the petrol tank or change wheels the quickest.

Love this

Bendito sea You Tube que nos permite conocer estás filmaciones de épocas pasadas.

These people all lived through the second world war, and are now all passed away. Live life to your fullest.

What an absolute mess this country has become with mass immigration!

Unsurpassed footage!

Fantastic cheers 🇬🇧🏆👍😀
