Historic Motorsport Films - "The Racing Years"

[Barney]

Working my way through this archive after it was posted on a FB page. It's only available for a limited period (until 31st August 2023).
There are 26 episodes of 25 minutes duration covering a year starting with 1950
I haven't found a way to download them yet, if you find a way please let me know how?

I see google suggests they are on YouTube as well, just search for >>> The Racing Years 19_ _ <<<
putting in the year you want (from 1950 to 1975) However, I checked one year and the content of one year had been edited shorter for some reason. There may be other versions available via other video platforms.

It's strange how the early programme makers have chosen to film in black and white!!!.

That's odd as I just checked Youtube and there're several there, of about 25 minute duration each.
I fast forwarded through 3 or 4 and they hadn't been shortened.
Didn't check them all though.

Think maybe U tubers missing 1951-1959? Maybe there were not those years?

The original source I posted had all those years. If you google the exact year you may find other sources.
If you use a VPN and choose a UK server you will be able to watch them.
That's the way I used to watch UK sport when in Florida
