A bit early for some Forum members, but an interesting view of the 1911 Indianapolis race, being the first 500 miler.
Note well how a tyre is fitted in one scene.

Thanks Roverdriver...
Fabulous film but an even better soundtrack.
Not sure about the fancy crash helmet that the guy is wearing in the first shots. |
