Colour footage from 1955 discovered

[Rhys Gardiner]

Check this out... a British film enthusiast took some video footage of the 1955 Monaco Grand Prix, and the film lay forgotten for years. It's only just been rediscovered... a real treat to watch.

Cool stuff. Would love to of been there in them days...standing on the side of the roads with F1 cars whizzing past your feet with nothing in the way. Would love to drive those cars in those days too...would of been an awesome feeling, brushing someones feet with your tyres while drifting at 140mph...
