The Pace That Thrills (1932)

Full title reads: “The Pace That Thrills! Huge holiday crowds flock to see record racing at Brooklands.“ Brooklands, Surrey (?). Small single seater racing cars hurtle round a banked up race track. Shots of numerous cars passing the camera on a flat, straight, part of the track. More shots of the cars on the banking. Cars take corner in front of crowds. Some people sit on the roof of buildings to watch the racing. Man with chequered flag walks out onto course to signal to winner. In the background is an advert for MG (Morris Garages) cars. He walks back to the side of the track where his colleague is holding up a card with the number 5 on it. High angle shot of Sir Malcolm Campbell in Bluebird - he says that this is the first appearance of Bluebird since the record winning drive at Daytona - he won’t be able to drive around the track too fast as it might damage the tyres and they might want to use the car again in the near future.
