XCAR bring us another great short film on the origins of what's now called Formula 1 and one Gordon Bennett. Specifically the circuit that Gordon was responsible for, in Ireland, and the organized racing that took place in the very early 1900s. Think about this; ~60mph, open cockpit, no seatbelt (you were better off without one) hail pelting you from the skies, terrible brakes and skinny white tires. Motorsport was hairy from the very start.
