Part 1 The story of how it all began, point to point and street racing, the flimsy cars and the drivers, mad, bad and dangerous to know. The early race circuits, before Brooklands made it more upmarket and professional. Takes it up to 1939. Part 2 Continues with the scene after the war and the first World Championship in 1950. Takes us up to the glory days of Juan Fangio and Stirling Moss.
