"GoPro" circa 1956
Full screen and turn it up. The video is surprisingly good quality and the commentary is great.

That was badass!!
Thx for sharing.
Insane w/the spectator cars, scooters and bicycles on track!
Hard to even imagine w/today’s safety nazis.
I have a VHS on the historic racing Porsches and there’s a segment w/maybe Sterling Moss at the LaCarrera Mexican road race.
Probably late ‘60’s.
Similar to your tape, he’s testing on open, public roads the day before the race.
Flat out at 170ish, when comes to an area is spectator cars parked on the side.
Yards before he gets to them, a guy walks out from between the cars w/a goat on a leash and crosses directly in front of him!
Moss doesn’t even lift!
He chuckles when he passes the guy!!
Back when true hero’s walked amongst us!
Your audio of the Jag inline 6 is way cool too.I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.
I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

Jesus ... That was f**king NUTS with all the traffic!!!
Jags are okay. Drove an XK-E. It was cool. Rebuilt a V-12 in an XJS HE. It was nice I guess... It was fast and smooth, but nothing you would want to wring out down a curvy road.
