In this video we dive into the full history of 1920's racing. The early 20's grand prix racing is what laid the foundation for all of today's racing tradition. Racing cars might not have been a new concept in the 1920's but a lot of innovation was brought in to create a formula that laid the groundwork for the massive races of the 30's and subsequent post war racing, like the formula 1 championship.
I really tried to get the full picture starting out with the context of how racing first came to be, then going over all the participants and finally laying out the results in different races.

Of course this work would not have been possible without the amazing work by Nicecuppatea bringing all the racecars of the 1923 French grand prix starting with the Bugatti, including the Fiat but also modeling a less commonly remembered car like the Laboratoire.

This episode required a lot of research and I didn't even end up using everything so if you want to dive deeper into this formidable period yourself here are the sources I used for the making of this video:
