The Heroes at the Motorsport Heart of Mexico

<p>Ask Formula 1 drivers about the Grand Prix with the best atmosphere, and they’ll almost all point to Mexico — and that’s because, for decades, Mexican drivers, promoters, and fans have played a vital role in shaping the world of motorsport.</p><p>Join award-winning motorsport historian Elizabeth Blackstock for an expansive look at the men, machines, and race tracks that have made Mexico legendary — from the Rodriguez brothers (whose name now adorns the F1 circuit in Mexico City) to the nail-biting rally known as the Carrera Panamericana, you don’t have to be a motorsport expert to uncover this unique element of Mexico’s history.PROGRAMMING NOTE: This is not my usual Wednesday fare, but I&#39;ve been helping one of my kitties overcome renal failure, so I didn&#39;t have the opportunity to finish my planned video.
