It gives us a glimpse of F1 back in the 60s, and has some cool lap footage including the sounds of rpms while shifting gears. Some cameoes including Bruce McClaren, Jack Brabham, and Jim Clark. <BR/><BR/>As far as documentaries go, I would add Super Speedway, narrated by Mario Andretti. Filmed in IMAX, has some great open wheel visual footage.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02308963174493730762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25014445.post-48163016258013990282007-11-09T16:22:00.000-08:002007-11-09T16:22:00.000-08:00Interesting point about how there have been great ...Interesting point about how there have been great racing films, but they've all been documentaries. Motor racing is ideally suited to the documentary format, although I've never really seen a feature-length documentary.<BR/><BR/>Probably the best one that I can recall (actually a TV programme) was a fantastic 1hr Equinox piece on the disaster that was the development of the Ford Turbo F1 engine in the 1980s.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06958265670311209584noreply@blogger.com
