Carrera Panamericana (1950-1954)
Carrera Panamericana (1950-1954) — 'Carrera Panamericana 1950-54' presents original footage and photographs of the road races which ran in Mexico from 1950-54 along with a narrative and new interviews conducted by producer/director Stephen Mitchell of participants including American race driver John Fitch who drove for Mercedes-Benz in 1952.  'The races were run in stages over several days and took quite a toll on man and machine. What we have come to expect as safety concerns were nonexistent and we see crowds lining the road just inches away from race cars going by at a hundred miles per hour or more,' says Mr. Mitchell. According to producer Jeanetta Dumouchel, 'The Carrera is probably the most dangerous road race ever run. It could never happen again as it did.'
