An amateur film made by Betty Cook of the Cleveland Cine Club of motor racing taking place at Croft Circuit near Dalton-on-Tees in North Yorkshire. The film features two races that include both Formula 3 and sports cars. The film also shows preparations before each race and action from the pit lanes.  Over the opening credits, footage from a Formula 3 race taking place at Croft Racing Circuit near Darlington. Spectators watch as one of the vehicles spins off the track in a cloud of dust. Title: Croft Title: In Widescreen Various general views of Formula 3 racing cars parked beside their services vehicles and men working on the engines. One car has been up-ended on its tyres so that an engineer can look underneath. At the start line, a race gets underway followed by cars speeding around the track at various locations. From behind wooden fences spectators watch as events unfold. One car spins off, but quickly gets back into the race. As the cars come around a bend, another car spins off. The film repeats the opening montage showing two people sitting on the roof of their vehicles watching as the racing car speeds past and one of them coming off the track in a cloud of dust. The sequence continues with a marshall helping the driver off the track and others pushing the car off the roadway. A number of Formula 3 cars drive off the track into a siding. Two young boys sweep a section of track. General views of the site show various sports cars parked up beside their service vehicles. Writing across the side of one vehicle reads: ‘Driver Chris Craft’. At the start line, spectators watch as another race gets underway, this time with sports as well as Formula 3 cars. Many spectators sit on the roofs of their vehicles as the racing cars speed past. A grey sports car pulls into the pit lane and a woman holds up a lap card as the other vehicles speed past. Engineers work on the engine of the vehicle as another car pulls into the pits. Back on the track the remaining cars continue to speed around the circuit. At the finish line, a checkered flag is held in the air as the winning car speeds past. The film cuts to show an open-top Rolls Royce diving slowly around the circuit. The film ends with two sports cars being towed around the circuit by Land Rover recovery trucks.
