Grand Prix - The Killer Years

[chriswt]

Just finished watching it and can highly recommend it to anyone who likes fast cars or motor sport of any kind.

Excellent hard hitting documentary, a real eye opener and very interesting even if Grand Prix isn't your thing.

Agreed.

Exciting as it was in those days it's good to see that safey has vastly improved.

Didn't realise that it was a repeat but a really good documentary. Better than watching England play badly against Ukraine and much more informative

Yes it was good. The one about Group B rallying was similar and also repeated recently.

Yeah I enjoyed that one but the best (if you can call it that) was 'The Deadliest Crash - The Le Mans 1955 Disaster' as mentioned in the earlier Thread.

Never mind the improvements in motor racing safety, I'm just amazed by how far common sense has come in just a few decades.

Thanks for posting, really worth watching.

Yes the Le Mans one was good too.
