Silver Arrow domination: Grand Prix 1937

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.

Hermann Lang Laps the 'Ring, Graham Hill Narrates

1962 film showing onboard footage (starting at 2:50) of Hermann Lang lapping the 'Ring in his Mercedes W125. In color, no less! Graham Hill gives a corner by corner commentary. It's very cool to see the lush, wooded circuit as it was before barriers and kerbs were added.
