Ford Archive Gems: Classic US Motorsport

'Zero to Sixty' is a stunning trip through the history of cars and motorsport in the US. From early competitions for 'horseless carriages'- including footage of the 1906 Vanderbilt Cup - to race action from the Indianpolis 500 and Sebring 12 Hours of Endurance of the 1950s and 1960.

'Won for All' is an excellent documentary of early NASCAR racing. The 1963 Daytona 500 is covered with unprecidented behind the scenes access. Watch American racing legends Dan Gurney and AJ Foyt as they prepare for an early running of 'The Great American Race'.

'Hot Rod Galahads' is an unusual 1952 profile of the teenage American members of the Ramblers Road Club - a group of young men brought together by a love for modifying cars and testing their machines, and their own grit, at organised drag race events. Shattering the romanticised image of the hot rod rebel, these clean-cut teens are sponsored by the Florida police!
