British Rally ace Tony Pond in one of the mid-engined, 4WD Metro 6R4 Group B rally cars, circa 1984,  flat out on a stage in the Welsh Forests – watch the trees flash past at close to 100 mph!

This week former World and IndyCar Champion Nigel Mansell has been once more behind the wheel competing in a sports car race. He has also been making headlines suggesting that F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone should buy the Silverstone circuit, home of the British GP.

So I thought it might be appropriate to include some on-board footage of Nigel at speed around Silverstone in his Williams, complete with commentary from the man himself.

For the first in an occasional series of posts highlighting some of the best in in car camera footage.
A lap of Le Mans in 1956 with Mike Hawthron in the D-Type Jaguar. Amazing footage as they strap two camera’s on Hawthron’s Jaguar and a microphone to his chest and send him out while the roads of Le Mans are still open to the public.
