From 1953 until the mid 70's, John Tate a talented film maker, travelled to the great motor racing events of Europe, where he also recorded the detail of the day in his personal diaries.
In this second volume John catches Stirling Moss and the mighty Mercedes team winning at the 1955 British Grand Prix, then its onto Goodwood for the 9 hour world sports car race dominated by Aston Martin. This is followed by a thrilling International Trophy meeting at Silverstone before the awesome 1000 kilometer race at the daunting 14.7 mile track. We then take in Monza & the Italian Grand Prix, the Monaco Grand Prix, back to Silverstone and some amazing on board footage at Rouen with Fangio in the French Grand Prix before closing this volume in 1957. Presented by motor racing personality TIFF NEEDELL, the programs are narrated by John Tate's son Christopher in a poignant tribute to his father. This a personal story for which there is no equal in the history of racing. It is quite literally the Tate Gallery of Motor Sport.
