Grand Prix

A few years ago Autoweek did a nice follow up article about the film with James Garner and Justin Bell (I think). Notably Brian Bedford could not drive anything before the movie was made. The cars were actually Formula 2 versions as I recall that always raced the same weekends as the big bore cars. I love the scenes with the real F1 drivers like Graham Hill, Dan Gurney and Jo Bonnier. I saw it when it first came out in Cinerama at the "Cooper" and still have the large promo booklet you could buy at the theaters.

Hey Milt did you ever race go-carts with Dave Pyka from Anaheim?
