British Pathé Le Mans archive
British Pathé just put 80,000 videos from its archive on YouTube. There are some absolute gems from Le Mans among it all, too. Unfortunately a lot of it is without sound, but there are some cracking newsreels in there too.
https://www.youtube.com/user/british...?query=le+mans Le Mans Grand Prix 1921 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtdORKmSPOI) - you can see the original Pontlieu hairpin here. Post up some more interesting stuff! Last edited by valedave; 23 Apr 2014 at 12:53. |

valedave you've honestly ruined my plans for today, some of these years haven't been on the internet at all before this.
This reel from 1963 is an absolute gem. Once you look past the outrageous British bias, it's incredibly how little has changed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78sLkGgudz4 |

i missed that one to and it is amazing how much of the 63 scene was still around in the mid eighties when i first went, the pointed roofed hut in the old village, the motor bikes in the fun fair, the chicken rotisserie looked exactly the same and the gran marnier crepe stall had not changed. Most of that has now gone or been updated but it proves that some things change slowly

Ever-so-slightly off topic, but here's the news reel of the city being liberated by the Americans!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbsSbj9EUME A lot of them came back in 1949 for the first post-war 24 Hours. |
