Too bad that we still don't correct for the different frames-per-second of the old films, because everything looks unnaturally fast. But I guess if we slowed it down things would look choppy since there aren't as many frames as are in modern film and video.
They had a straightaway over 7f so it's possible that was a straight track race.
