Cuts (rushes, out takes) for "Le Mans Special "- they may relate to Colour Pictorial item called "Twenty-Four Hours at Le Mans" or a documentary called "Twenty-Four Hours to History" - see other records. Pathe seem to have shot enough footage to make both the documentary and the Pictorial item.

Filmed 15 and 16 June 1963.
Various shots of car crews checking car controls. C/Us of a driver and his wife (?). He chats to a man in a white hat. High angle shot of Ferraris (including Ferrari 250P) being worked on. C/Us of man with large quiff, Phil Hill chewing, and other men looking under the bonnet of a car. Various shots of men who are presumably car mechanics or something to do with the motor racing teams. Various shot of the cars and of the race. Group of young boys cluster around a driver seeking autographs. Shots of a man painting a number on the side of one of the cars. Shots of cars being worked on and drivers being interviewed. More shots of the race.
Some of the footage appears to be too fast - possibly filmed this way to give impression of high speed.

Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
The images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
Animals are often the forgotten army of World War I. They displayed unwavering courage even when exposed to extreme conditions. British Pathé pay tribute to these forgotten warriors.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
British Pathé filmed the 20th Century's biggest names, some of them before they even became famous. Click through and guess who these soon-to-be celebrities were when first captured by our cameras.
Private UFOs, flying bicycles, motorised wheels - Pathe's archive is awash with fabulous films of canny and creative transport inventions.Take a look at some of the more unusual but ingenious ideas that people have had to beat the traffic.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
