Not the happiest of subjects but interesting veiwing
P.S. does contain some harsh shots:shock:

Cool was just talking about this but missed it, will have a looksie tonight

Watched this the other day.

Thought it was very good look out for the Ring footage. :doubleup:

Wonderful post mate. :10:

Thanks for putting this up.

:thanx: This'll be getting watched very soon:nod:

May give the footy the benefit for the first half:CUP: then follow up with this:nod:

The program about 60 years of Grand Prix was interesting as well, it was on BBC4 before this one on Sunday night.

Just watched this.

Excellent programme, real insight into what it was really like - especially for those of us who weren't born at the time.

I was not that old in those days but Jim Clark was my hero.

It was such a massive loss to F1 equal to the death of Ayrton Senna.

Seeing that footage of the ring just imagine what that was like going round the ring with no protection what so ever.

FPMSL :rofl:

Only 21 then mate :wink:

Oi in 1968 I was all of 11..:kicknuts::oldman:


I wont ever be last though. :drive::drive:

Bloody fantastic.:yeah:

:agreed: Well worth viewing :10:

Yeah, I watched that and the programme shown at the start of this thread.

Although the deaths and lack of safety were clearly a terrible thing, I think the programmes illustrated the difference between the racers of yesteryear and the poster boys that F1 has today.

Bring back the Lotus 49, thats the way forwards! :D

I wasn't particularly interested in the modern bit, it was seeing the likes of Alan Jones, Jackie Stewart, Emerson Fittipaldi etc. being reunited with their championship winning cars and getting the chance to drive them again that I enjoyed.

I remember watching grands prix from the 1960s, and I also remember how unpopular Jackie Stewart was for standing up for safety issues. I was amazed to be reminded how many great drivers died for our entertainment. Very sad :(

Big E - don't let 'em get to you, you're only a young 'un :D

missed this, but will be similiar to the program that they did on the (50's??) Le Mans tragedy..........all of them simply carried on racing past the fires, deaths, etc.??
