Silver Arrow domination: Grand Prix 1937

DateSaturday, March 31, 2012 at 9:26PM

This wonderful video, posted by our friend Harlo over at the Chicane, is crammed with incredible footage of the 1937 Grand Prix season.  These images bear witness to the incredible talent and toughness of the drivers of those days. More akin to fighter pilots than the cosseted celebrity athletes of today, there is no doubt these were real men taming incredibly advanced machines.

I'm sure there's a beautiful Bugatti T.59 in there somewhere near last place. Unfortunately, looks aren't everything.
