Grand Prix- before F1

[Paul Dishman]

I was going to post a heads up for the movie Grand Prix which is being shown on BBC2 this afternoon when I heard that James Garner who starred as Pete Aron in the movie has passed away, so this is a tribute to a much loved actor

I'm sure many on here have seen the movie many times, but its still worth seeing. Amongst highlights are the actual footage of the racing in 1966 including helicopter shots of John Surtess on the old Spa cicuit in the streaming wet as well as spotting the contemporary stars such as Graham Hill, Dan Gurney, Jochen Rindt, Jo Bonnier. Juan Manuel Fangio is in a couple of scenes as well. Not to mention Francoise Hardy

There are only three motor racing movies worth seeing Le Mans, Rush and Grand Prix (Senna is a documentary)
so don't miss it !
