Grand Prix: The Killer Years
This was a BBC production that was on a few weekends ago, but fortunately someone was able to get it uploaded to YouTube. There's 4 parts.
It's about the fast but fiery history of Grand Prix. I haven't watched it yet (I'll try to this weekend). I know one of the guys interviewed, he's been a part of Ferrari racing for a long long time.

Absolutely Fantastic!
Absolutely fantastic!
Thanks for sharing. I got interested in F1 in the early 70's. I was at The Glen for the F1 race when Francois Cevert was killed. Apparently it was even more dangerous in the 60's.

Mike, Thank you!
Any idea if the other video was uploaded? I know there was this film and another one. Not sure of the name of it, but I saw it on jalopnik. I wish I had a British IP...

"The Quick and the Dead" Narrated by Stacey Keach. Good film and haunting... I think I will watch it tonight.

Thank you very much. Chapman appears less than iconic in terms of safety.

Thank you, amazing coverage of total fly by your pants driving. I still remember the day that Jimmy Clark died, very sad day.
I myself have seen the evolution of safety in the sport of ski racing, all a good thing.

As the others said: thank you. I saw a mention of it on Fchat F1 & hoped it would make it to YouTube.

A torrent download of that accidentally landed on my hard drive, so I watched it on the TV. VERY cool, VERY chilling; the in-car of what I have to assume is Jimmy Clark is just great, rare stuff.
