Lots in this video! How anyone dared go racing in "the olden days" is beyond me!

crazy, so many were thrown from the car they were able to walk away unscathed!

[Aydogflipper]

Completely nuts to be fair.

The chap at 3:05

The 3:05 guy was "quite" lucky.

Generally they didn't wear belts because the cars usually caught on fire if they crashed.

[The Black Flash]

Ooof. Some of those are nasty
And what was with the race going between the pillars (2:13) ?

[scenario8]

I'm sure many of those ended in tears, if not worse, but you're right about those pillars - wtf?

[Eric Mc]

I wonder if the Pillar race was the Tripoli GP?

[smifffymoto]

What's more amazing is the amount of men who escaped serious injury and walked away under their own steam.

[Dangerous2]

it was the crashes on the ovals that worried me.

I'm fairly sure I've seen a photograph of Donington Park from the 1930's when Starkeys Bridge went right across the track and the cars would race through the arches.

Those rose tinted glasses suddenly look a bit blood stained.
Great video tho

[weyland yutani]

Those crashes look brutal . . . and fatal in some cases.
