"Zero to Sixty" is a simply stunning trip through the history of cars and motorsport in the United States, from the early competitions for 'horseless carriages'.
Including footage from: • The 1906 Vanderbilt Cup; • Race action from the iconic Indianapolis 500; and • Film from the classic Sebring 12-HOUR events of the 1950s and 1960s.
"Won for All" is a must-see documentary for any motorsport enthusiast Or NASCAR fan, an incredible insight into the preparation and race action from the 1963 Daytona 500. The film offers unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to the build-up as legends of U.S. racing, including AJ Foyt and Dan Gurney, prepare for this All-American spectacular.
The collection also includes "Hot Rod Galahads," an unusual 1952 profile of the teenage American members of the Ramblers Road Club - A group of young men brought together by a love for modifying cars and testing their machines, and their own grit, at organized drag events.
