Presented by MobilOil and dedicated to the memory of Clay Smith, “The Fifth Mexican Road Race” (c.1954) is a color, documentary film about the 5th and final installment of the Carrera Panamericana. Created in 1950 by the Mexican Government to showcase the opening of the Mexican stretch of the Pan-American Highway, the Carrera Panamericana was a border-to-border sedan (stock and touring and sports car) rally racing event on open roads in Mexico running from 1950 to 1954 and was considered to be the most dangerous race of any type in the world due

The race was run from Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, to Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, over 8 stages and 1,910 miles. 150 cars started the race, and 85 finished. The race was won by Umberto Maglioli in a Ferrari 375 Plus. He finished the race in 17:40:26, averaging 107.93 mph.
