While working at Shell Oil, filmmaker Bill Mason, produced a series about the early days of motor racing. It's an in depth classic.
This film picks up after WWI with an early look at racing at the Indy 500 in 1919. The Kaiser is there and says hello to Louis Chevrolet. The winner of the race that year was Howdy Wilcox.
We see cyclecars race in France and return to Indy for 1920, and see Henry Ford chatting with fellow automotive fans before Tommy Milton wins.
The 1922 French Grand Prix at Strasbourg sees Felice Nazarro win for Fiat.
In 1923 we're introduced to Bugatti, and begin to follow Campari's wins for Alfa Romeo. His fellow driver Antonio Ascari is also a perennial winner for Alfa.
The French Grand Prix attracts the American Tommy Milton for Duesenberg, who battles Campari and Bugatti.
Back to Indy in 1926 for Peter DiPaola to win for Duesenberg.
