Still the best F1 film ever, although of course these ain`t F1 cars used in the film.Garner was the only actor who could actually race well enough to look convincing.

Funny you should mention that, my Dad was a driver in the Sports Car classes and I have his VERY first "stereo" record which is "Sounds of Sebring" and has the sounds of the cars going past the microphones with each being noted which car/engine and relative speed. I think it was from 1955 or 1956.

Kudos! This is one of my favorite racing sequences in this movie. Although this movie does sort of drag itself out during the first half of this movie but, I love the racing parts of this movie. Thank you. :)

The oval begins to the right just after pits. If you fx look at the Monza track in the game Grand Prix Legends (season -67) you get a good picture of it. The oval is also to be spotted in the game GT legends (season -06), altough now in ruins.

A great movie, probably still the ultimate fictional film account of F1 racing in that period. There is also the 'Sounds of Grand Prix' LP. They took F1 cars to the tracks and had drivers do laps with a recorder on board. The V12 carburetd Ferraris sound incredible - very easy to see why most every car nut craves that sound. Who doesn't choke up when Enzo Ferrari shows the black flag to Baldini after Sarti's wreck at Monza while the track announcer intones 'Sarti est mort...Sarti est mort'

Nope. You're wrong. McLaren debuted in the 1966 championship in Monaco 1966. They did bring a car a McLaren-Ford (with an Indy Ford engine) to Monza in 1966 but Chris Amon never raced it.McLaren-Ford won the Monza GP in 1968 with Denny Hulme.

Yeesh. Although I detest having people drive on dangerous circuits, the oval is as much a crucial part of history as Goodwood. You can't save all of history, but some things are obvious monuments to their time.

Normal over-dramatazation to emphasize something. All movies are guity of using characatures and stereotypes of some sort. Same for all fiction from the most ancient to the most modern. It's used because it works. It makes a point without going out of character. |
