"This is it – the best video you’ll see all day. Made in 1956, it’s 1955 Le Mans champion, Mike Hawthorn, giving you live commentary on a lap of La Sarthe while thrashing a Jaguar D-Type. The best bit? This isn’t race day, so there are cyclists, lorries, and cars wobbling into his path…
And while Hawthorn’s got a pretty respectable lick on, he spends most of the film calmly explaining how much faster he’d be driving on race day. Into a mic the size of a brick.
