Discussion
From Friday through to early next week they are showing:
F1: British Grand Prix, 1974
Heard about the Grand Prix where the leader got boxed in - whilst exiting the pits - by a Ford Cortina? It happened to Niki Lauda during this one...
F1: British Grand Prix, 1975
Sudden downpour + slick tyres = lots of accidents. Even before all that late drama, this was a fantastic event with loads of early overtaking action.
F1: British Grand Prix, 1977
The summer of '77 means Hunt-mania at Silverstone, an arch-rival in Niki Lauda and, best of all, an excitable Murray Walker in the commentary box.
F1: British Grand Prix, 1978
The dominant JPS Lotus team were expected to cruise to victory at Brands Hatch, but this Grand Prix turned out to be a very different kind of race.
F1: British Grand Prix, 1979
There was a time when F1 pit crews used to be rubbish! Watch the total hash that the Renault team make of their tyre-change during this exciting race.
F1: British Grand Prix, 1980
The French Ligier team led the field at Brands Hatch. They had only one problem, their new lightweight wheel-rims made their cars' tyres explode...
as well as:
Jackie Stewart - The Flying Scot (4 part series)
The Early Years. An intimate look at Sir Jackie Stewart's upbringing, his success as a clay pigeon shooter and early years as a Formula 1 driver.
All Things Must Pass. Stewart talks of his battles with Fittipaldi, the Grand Prix lifestyle and the effect that constant racing had on his life.
The Halcyon Years. Known as 'The Rain Master' for his wet weather driving, Stewart's greatest years were with Tyrrell, when he became world champion.
Never Say Never Again. Life after Formula 1 for the world champion: setting up Stewart Racing, his knighthood and his son's fight against cancer.
