For the 2013 Belgian Grand Prix, Shell released this report of the 1955 Belgian Grand Prix.
Very much worth your time

The less intelligent observers say anyone could do it in that car.

Great little film..Plus ca change etc

I like the way a driver pulled seniority and grabbed his teammates car after crashing, poor guy had to continue by bus :rofl:

Its a good watch right after last race in Spa. What really sticks out is how much slower the cars were round the bends and how much less grip and balance in those days compared to now, yet the straight line speed differential was a lot less relatively speaking. And no seatbelts :yikes:
