This 'Tournament' brought together some of the world's greatest stunt drivers, many of whom had worked in Hollywood.\n\nThe cars were provided by manufaturers who put aside a quota of new models for the 'Hell Drivers'. Each year they tested the cars' toughness by taking them through a series of stunts which included 100-foot jumps, two-wheel speeding, and roll-overs. \n\nAs part of the fun older cars were brought out and set on fire or demolished, some by the spectators themselves.  \n\nCountess Agnes Von Rosen, 'Hell drivers', Sydney, September 1955, Pix Magazine, State Library of New South Wales ON 388/Box 040/Item 091 http://archival.sl.nsw.gov.au/Details/archive/110592282 \n\nAustralia's first demolition derby took place in January 1963", "Image Make": "Canon", "Image Model": "Canon EOS 5DS R", "Image Orientation": "Horizontal (normal)", "Image SamplesPerPixel": "1", "Image XResolution": "300", "Image YResolution": "300", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Image Software": "Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 (Windows)", "Image DateTime": "2020:05:12 15:47:27", "Image Artist": "State Library of New South Wales", "Image ExifOffset": "1280", "Thumbnail Compression": "JPEG (old-style)", "Thumbnail XResolution": "72", "Thumbnail YResolution": "72", "Thumbnail ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Thumbnail JPEGInterchangeFormat": "2006", "Thumbnail JPEGInterchangeFormatLength": "4365", "EXIF ExposureTime": "1/80", "EXIF FNumber": "8", "EXIF ExposureProgram": "Manual", "EXIF ISOSpeedRatings": "100", "EXIF SensitivityType": "Recommended Exposure Index", "EXIF RecommendedExposureIndex": "100", "EXIF ExifVersion": "0230", "EXIF DateTimeOriginal": "2018:05:07 10:16:58", "EXIF DateTimeDigitized": "2018:05:07 10:16:58", "EXIF ShutterSpeedValue": "790241/125000", "EXIF ApertureValue": "6", "EXIF ExposureBiasValue": "0", "EXIF SubjectDistance": "0", "EXIF MeteringMode": "CenterWeightedAverage", "EXIF LightSource": "Unknown", "EXIF Flash": "Flash did not fire, compulsory flash mode", "EXIF FocalLength": "100", "EXIF SubSecTimeOriginal": "00", "EXIF SubSecTimeDigitized": "00", "EXIF ColorSpace": "Uncalibrated", "EXIF ExifImageWidth": "714", "EXIF ExifImageLength": "750", "EXIF FocalPlaneXResolution": "12271051/2048", "EXIF FocalPlaneYResolution": "12292245/2048", "EXIF FocalPlaneResolutionUnit": "2", "EXIF FileSource": "Digital Camera", "EXIF SceneType": "Directly Photographed", "EXIF CustomRendered": "Normal", "EXIF ExposureMode": "Manual Exposure", "EXIF WhiteBalance": "Manual", "EXIF SceneCaptureType": "Standard", "EXIF BodySerialNumber": "065021000023", "EXIF LensSpecification": "[100, 100, 0/0, 0/0]", "EXIF LensModel": "Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM", "EXIF LensSerialNumber": "000005320d"}
