40 years ago, Autocrossing - racing cars against the clock, driving on grass
rather than tarmac - was one of Britain's most popular forms of motorsport. And
this DVD helps - spectacularly - to explain just why.
Popularised as a spectator sport by the stirring sight of Mini Coopers being
hustled around at extraordinary angles, Autocrossing also helped to hone the
skills of 1960s Touring Car ace John Rhodes, and '70s World Rallying legend,
Roger Clark; both of whom feature in these films.
Unseen for four decades, these charming and evocative movies are yet more
winners from the archive of 1960s motorsport auteur David Roscoe, and are
presented here - remastered from their original print - for the very first time
on DVD.
