This is the story of the remarkable men whose daring and skill pushed the top speed of racing cars from around 20mph to over 100mph in the pioneering age of the sport. This episode includes specially shot sequences with some of the classic cars of the period - from the Peugeots of the 1890s to the monster Panhards, Napiers, Renaults and Fiats, culminating in the first pure-bred Grand Prix car, the incomparable 1914 Mercedes. |
