Description

Motor racing footage shot at Aintree Motor Racing Circuit in 1982. Film opens with shots of men working on racing cars and engines, with another group repairing a fence. A man inspects car damage to jumps at Aintree Racecourse, which is adjacent to the motor racing circuit, and the remains of a crashed car are also visible. Numerous races take place whilst spectators look on, with several cars spinning out of control. The winner of the final race is interviewed and presented with a bottle of champagne.
