Summary
Pathe synopsis: A tailor-made racing car where the chassis is made to fit the aerodynamically designed shell - a reversal of the usual system...only one of the problems we see being solved by the makers of a one-and-a-half-litre car designed to be the fastest in the world. Finally at the famous salt flats at Utah, United States, we see driver Stirling Moss proving the makers right by breaking no less that five world records!
