The home-made contraption already seems to be in trouble. 458 01:06:56,296 --> 01:07:01,379 This is bound to be a severe disappointment to Aladdin Oil. 459 01:07:17,254 --> 01:07:22,254 The German Heinrich von Schnellfahrt in his Abarth 2000 has taken the lead, -- 460 01:07:22,421 --> 01:07:27,171 - closely pursued by the Italian Ruffino Gassolini and Gore-Slimey. 461 01:07:27,337 --> 01:07:32,504 But now it looks like they've managed to crank II Tempo Gigante into action. 462 01:07:32,671 --> 01:07:38,296 She seems to be firing on all twelve cylinders. 463 01:07:38,462 --> 01:07:43,671 She's off, and good luck to her. She's got a lot of leeway to make up. 464 01:07:43,837 --> 01:07:50,796 Not a very encouraging start for the good people of Pinchcliffe. 465 01:08:05,587 --> 01:08:11,546 It does really look as if Rimspoke is putting his best foot forward. 466 01:08:11,712 --> 01:08:19,962 Gore-Slimey in the lead followed by McQuick, the Swede and Gassolini. 467 01:08:44,046 --> 01:08:47,379 In a moment they'll be completing the first lap. 468 01:08:47,546 --> 01:08:51,504 Gore-Slimey has been passed by the Irishman McQuick. 469 01:08:51,671 --> 01:08:57,212 Here they come.

We should not write off Aladdin Oil's chances yet. 476 01:09:41,421 --> 01:09:47,504 Gore-Slimey once again in the lead with Nos. 4, 12, 3, 3 and 5 in hot pursuit. 477 01:09:47,671 --> 01:09:52,962 Followed by Rimspoke.

And Gore-Slimey is still in the lead. 486 01:10:40,254 --> 01:10:44,171 Amazing what Rimspoke is getting out of his car. 487 01:10:44,337 --> 01:10:47,421 Can he really keep going? 488 01:11:10,462 --> 01:11:17,504 Rimspoke has now rejoined the bunch, and Schnellfahrt answers with a spurt. 489 01:11:17,671 --> 01:11:23,254 Rimspoke's giving all his got, but seems to be having trouble with his engine. 490 01:11:23,421 --> 01:11:27,962 He's falling back. But he's picking up again - 491 01:11:28,129 --> 01:11:33,212 - and is hot on the heels of McQuick, Gassolini and Anderson. 492 01:11:53,921 --> 01:11:56,796 Going into the hairpin bend we get a ding-dong struggle - 493 01:11:56,962 --> 01:12:00,129 - between Schnellfahrt and Rimspoke. 494 01:12:00,296 --> 01:12:05,254 Out of the bend we have Gore-Slimey and Rimspoke. 495 01:12:05,421 --> 01:12:11,212 Rimspoke must have gone into a bit of a skid. His car seems a bit stern-heavy. 496 01:12:30,837 --> 01:12:36,504 There's a dramatic tussle going on, with Gore-Slimey still in the lead. 497 01:12:56,962 --> 01:13:01,921 And there goes Rimspoke, shooting into the lead. Aladdin Oil - 498 01:13:02,087 --> 01:13:05,046 - is leading in the Grand Prix! 499 01:13:27,879 --> 01:13:32,921 II Tempo Gigante passing the stands with a clear lead. 500 01:13:33,087 --> 01:13:36,212 But it sounds like she is misfiring? 501 01:13:36,379 --> 01:13:42,171 The subsequent order is Gore-Slimey, Fandango, Schnellfahrt, Gassolini - 502 01:13:42,337 --> 01:13:46,046 - and the Swede Turnip Anderson. 503 01:14:41,212 --> 01:14:46,004 Rimspoke is clearly in trouble. His engine is definitely labouring. 504 01:14:46,171 --> 01:14:50,546 Gore-Slimey is coming up hand over first. 505 01:14:53,296 --> 01:14:57,087 Now he's passed him and is in the lead again! 506 01:15:00,754 --> 01:15:04,712 Things seem to be going disastrously wrong for Rimspoke and Aladdin Oil. 507 01:15:04,879 --> 01:15:09,671 Rimspoke is being overhauled by the rest of the field. My, what a pity. 508 01:15:09,837 --> 01:15:14,421 After such a splendid performance by this unusual vehicle! 509 01:15:14,587 --> 01:15:20,254 But that's the way things go! Snake Oil first with the German second. 510 01:15:25,962 --> 01:15:31,629 Just behind these two comes Fandango. The field's spreading out now. 511 01:15:31,796 --> 01:15:36,087 And here's the Swede leaving the pits after a spot of trouble. 512 01:15:36,254 --> 01:15:41,546 But II Tempo Gigante is obviously in still greater trouble. 513 01:15:41,712 --> 01:15:46,921 She is being taken hand of by her team of mechanics. 514 01:15:50,171 --> 01:15:57,212 Now the German seems to be making a bid. Fandango breathing down his neck. 515 01:15:57,379 --> 01:16:02,379 The field seems to be massing for a thrilling attack on the leaders. 516 01:16:27,796 --> 01:16:30,546 Rimspoke is really back in the race! 517 01:16:30,712 --> 01:16:35,462 Talk about a quick start! Nothing like it since the Apollo went into orbit. 518 01:16:35,629 --> 01:16:40,754 Driver and co-driver must have been subject to something like 3 G! 519 01:17:10,171 --> 01:17:14,796 Once again Rimspoke challenges the cream of the world's racing drivers. 520 01:17:14,962 --> 01:17:18,712 This can develop into something truly spectacular! 521 01:17:18,879 --> 01:17:24,962 Looks as if Aladdin Oil have called on their second driver. What a gamble! 522 01:17:25,129 --> 01:17:31,587 Gassolini holding on to a slim lead, closely followed by the others. 523 01:17:31,754 --> 01:17:35,962 What about Rimspoke and his new second driver? 524 01:18:06,004 --> 01:18:10,254 It's obvious that II Tempo Gigante is now performing superbly. 525 01:18:10,421 --> 01:18:14,546 Rimspoke is closing in on the field. 526 01:18:14,712 --> 01:18:19,629 But Gore-Slimey has pulled ahead and has a clear lead. 527 01:18:53,337 --> 01:18:56,337 Gore-Slimey has a commanding lead, and passes... there. 528 01:18:58,087 --> 01:19:03,587 The rest of the field is nicely bunched, with the German in front. 529 01:19:03,754 --> 01:19:07,629 But Rimspoke is now only seven seconds behind the German. 530 01:19:09,004 --> 01:19:14,421 Rimspoke, clearly full of go is only 15 seconds behind Gore-Slimey. 531 01:19:14,587 --> 01:19:19,212 It's going to be hard to predict the winner. 532 01:19:19,379 --> 01:19:25,212 Things are really hotting up. The German is back in the lead - 533 01:19:25,379 --> 01:19:28,879 - with the others breathing down his neck. 534 01:19:29,046 --> 01:19:35,629 II Tempo Gigante is putting on a terrific spurt and catching up! 535 01:20:17,171 --> 01:20:22,004 It's a neck-and-neck struggle between Gore-Slimey and Theodore Rimspoke. 536 01:20:44,587 --> 01:20:47,546 Gore-Slimey is just hanging on to his lead, - 537 01:20:47,712 --> 01:20:51,254 - but the others are hard on his heels. 538 01:20:59,462 --> 01:21:05,171 Gore-Slimey and Rimspoke are leaving the rest of the field inexorably behind. 539 01:21:40,587 --> 01:21:45,587 Now what's happening? Gore-Slimey pulls away. 540 01:21:45,754 --> 01:21:50,546 Rimspoke is in trouble, with II Tempo Gigante threatening to disintegrate. 541 01:21:50,712 --> 01:21:55,421 Gore-Slimey is starting on the last lap. But where is Rimspoke? 542 01:21:55,587 --> 01:22:01,962 There! He seems to have got his engine going full blast once again! 543 01:22:02,129 --> 01:22:08,379 Core-Slimey can't be sure of victory. Both cars being squeezed to the limit. 544 01:22:08,546 --> 01:22:15,212 This is the last and decisive lap, and a final maximum effort is called for. 545 01:22:15,379 --> 01:22:20,462 This speed must be a terrific strain on chassis, engine, tyres, - 546 01:22:20,629 --> 01:22:23,171 - and the drivers themselves. 547 01:23:31,671 --> 01:23:37,212 Here things are really getting dramatic. II Tempo Gigante is enveloped in smoke. 548 01:23:37,379 --> 01:23:40,754 Is she on fire? A highly dramatic finish! 549 01:24:29,421 --> 01:24:34,254 Rimspoke comes out of the bend with Gore-Slimey scraping his exhaust. 550 01:24:34,421 --> 01:24:39,837 He flashes across the line there! Winner of the Grand Prix of the century! 551 01:24:40,004 --> 01:24:44,921 In third place the German, followed by the Argentinean, Irishman and Italian. 552 01:24:45,087 --> 01:24:50,462 What a race, what a finish, and what a triumph for our village cycle-repairer -- 553 01:24:50,629 --> 01:24:55,837 - and a sheikh who staked his reputation and money on his intuition. 554 01:25:04,962 --> 01:25:09,629 We congratulate Pinchcliffe, the native village of the three worthies - 555 01:25:09,796 --> 01:25:15,254 - who ensured II Tempo Gigante such a sensational triumph. 556 01:25:59,754 --> 01:26:03,629 The cup and the laurels were just one more incident - 557 01:26:03,796 --> 01:26:06,712 - in the lives of Theodore, Sonny, and Lambert. 558 01:26:06,879 --> 01:26:10,796 They'll be back at their daily chores tomorrow, with petty quarrels, - 559 01:26:10,962 --> 01:26:16,504 - inventions and the manufacture of flagpoles for the Swiss Navy. 560 01:26:16,671 --> 01:26:22,837 - Tonight you have the inside berth! - Can I? 561 01:26:24,546 --> 01:26:29,129 - Is that really possible? - Take the inside when I tell you to! 562 01:26:34,212 --> 01:26:38,004 Goodness me! 563 01:26:40,421 --> 01:26:43,671 Snitchery pooh. 564 01:26:43,837 --> 01:26:46,671 - Nighty! - Nighty! 565 01:27:17,004 --> 01:27:19,671 English subtitles: Trine Borg
