[00:18.41]Faster than sound!
[00:21.48]Once a year,a race is held for old cars.
[00:25.26]A lot of cars entered for this race last year
[00:28.59]and there was a great deal of excitement just before it began.
[00:33.34]One of the most handsome cars was a Rolls Royce Silver Ghost.
[00:38.45]The most unusual car was a Benz which had only three wheels.
[00:43.81]Built in 1885,it was the oldest car taking part.
[00:49.01]After a great many loud explosions,the race began.
[00:54.14]Many of the cars broke down on the course
[00:57.13]and some drivers spent more time under their cars than in them!
[01:02.88]A few cars,however, completed the race.
[01:06.39]The winning car reached a speed of forty miles an hour
[01:10.56]--much faster than any of its rivals.
[01:14.17]It sped downhill at the end of the race
[01:17.13]and its driver had a lot of trouble trying to stop it.
[01:21.41]The race gave everyone a great deal of pleasure.
[01:25.11]It was very different from modern car races but no less exciting.
