The race is about to start and the paddock is beginning to show a lot of movement. Drivers are putting on their race suite and mechanics start preparing the car. One of the steps in that preparation process is getting the car up to running temperature to make sure the driver doesn’t go pedal to the metal with a cold engine, or that he doesn’t have to worry about getting the car up to temperature in the first lap. To warm up the engine of a Historic Race Car, there’s almost nothing you can do besides firing it up and giving it a few revs. As the engine gets hotter, the revs get more aggressive, and by the time the mechanics are done, you’ve usually witnessed the sheer aggression these engines are capable of. In today’s episode of “From The Archives” we share lots of these moments of sheer mechanic aggression together with rough cold starts.

About "From The Archives": Back in December of 2012, HistoricRacingHD was formed. Its foundations were an undeniable passion for cars and the desire to share that passion with the world. Over the next years, HistoricRacingHD would redefine the online video world of Historic Race Cars, with a relentless focus on the sounds these stunning machines produce when they're racing on the most iconic and legendary tracks of Europe. Since 2012, we, Robin Wouters and Arne Hintermaier (founders of the channel), have travelled far and wide to find the loudest, most striking, weirdest and most magnificent historic race cars to bring them to your screen. 2012, however, was a long time ago, meaning that over the years, we have built up a massive archive of videos featuring race cars from the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s racing at tracks like Le Mans, Spa-Francorchamps, Dijon Prenois, the Nürburgring, Hockenheim, Goodwood, and many, many more other tracks. With “From The Archives” we aim to bring back the best of everything we have ever filmed, simply for your enjoyment. You’ll see, as the videos are released, that “From The Archives” is divided into a large array of topics, meaning that at some point, your own favourite topic will be featured. So, do you care to join us to dive deep into the HistoricRacingHD archives? Be sure to strap yourself in and hold on tight, cause this will be an epic journey!
