The glory days of British motor racing are celebrated in this sleek archive series, which buffs up some of the BBC’s most memorable coverage from the sport’s earliest days. The opening programme concentrates on the 1950s, when British drivers Stirling Moss and Mike Hawthorn took on the dominance of the great Argentinian driver, Fangio – all presided over by the chummy commentating presence of Raymond Baxter, fresh from a fight of his own as a Spitfire pilot in World War II. From track to paddock to a changing Britain beyond, and driven by a powerful period soundtrack, this is Formula One’s ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Years’.

Does anyone know the music uses on the Raymond Baxter report at the end?
These are really great if you have them all or all the parts to episode 1
or 2 even could you please post them as people outside the UK cannot
download it online and there isn’t a torrent available anywhere. Thanks

Posting the entire series would also be much appreciated by people inside
the UK too,I’m sure.Well me for one.I’m also crossing everything that a
second run of episodes covering the 80’s,90’s and noughties will follow in
due course.
