Summary

Pathe synopsis: ... to go in for speed. Six-year-olds do it in the Junior Racing Car club. That’s when children start to drive the Formula Six midget racing cars, powered by a lawn-mower engine. At Detling, near Maidstone, Kent, they’ve turned a disused aerodrome into their version of Brands Hatch.
