Not bikes but I thought some of you might enjoy it.

Fabulous!

Just love the noise of that old XK-derived straight 6.

Eeee, I did enjoy that.

Who needs a Gopro???


Or was this where they got the idea?? Crackin quality of footage especially remembering when it was recorded!!

Can you imagine in this day and age allowing race cars to drive round the roads with cyclists wobbling (and other road users) in front of them??

Now I really enjoyed that Great quality footage, Don't make 'em like they used to

Clearly made when the whole world was in black & white - hence why Reg found it.

True,I mainly live in black & white.

That was fantastic Reg,
I really enjoyed that, the simple fact that the whole of Le Mans pits was on the public road WOW, as a regular of the 24hr (bikes) not cars I can see how simple the original circuit was no roundabouts down the Mulsanne, the houses from Arnage up to the pits.
Looking forward to returning in Sept for the Endurance and I shall no doubt take a spin around the car course (where it's possible).

Superb. I love the way the other road users were taken in a matter of fact way. And all before the health and safety mob took over the world, it almost looks unbelievable. Great stuff indeed.

Agreed Phil - when I've been travelling down to central France from the channel ports a small detour has usually been made round the public sections of the circuit. Really interesting to see what has, and hasn't changed over the years.

What's nice about the Hawthorn clip is, whilst he's not really hanging around, he's not going at full chat meaning the film is good and steady - excellent quality too.

Thanks again Reg - you've found an absolute gem there.

On race weekend (bike 24hr) the last few years the section of public road between Arnage and the "pits" has been made one way, so you can now only blast the Mullsanne to Arnage, shame really cause there was always some mad froggy waiting for a gullible foreign biker to humiliate

My first trip to South of France in 89 took us through Le Mans (no racing on) and the Mullsanne bereft of all chicanes (roundabouts), boy did my GPX fly
