Default Carrera Panamericana

Anyone know if a video or DVD exists of the action on the Trans-Mexico races held in the 1950's?

David Gilmour and Nick Mason ran La Carrera in 1991 and made a film about it. There's a brief history of the race included in it, with some old footage. I don't know of a DVD version, but here is the VHS (PAL) verson on Amazon:

Very enjoyable video, with some great coverage of the running that year, and soundtrack by Pink Floyd of course.

Speaking of the La Carrera video, I'm the current owner of the surviving car of the pair that Mason and Gilmour ran in the '91 race. Gilmour and Steve O'Rourke (PF's late manager) badly crashed their car. My car was the one driven by Nick and Val Lindsay.
