Here's a great read. I think that it will make a great movie, but what do I know. The 1939 ISDE: The Great Escape - Transmoto
Never heard of this story before...thanks for sharing..I agree it would make a great movie..surprised nobody has by now.
Don't click, the link is click-bait BS. Couple paragraphs of teaser for a 27-minutes of silent German newsreel footage. Don't waste your time. You want the goods...Go here, you won't regret. The real great escape: When the British ISDT team fled Nazi territory - RevZilla
A strange story, it was two hours' drive to the neutral Italy, and to Yugoslavia. About three hours to the neutral Hungary. There was no need for any racing.
