The characters name was Scott Stoddard. He's severely injured in the beginning of the movie in a crash at tha Monaco Grand Prix.He returns to racing and does quite well. I saw the movie in Cinerama back in '66. Cinerama made it feel like you were in the car with the driver.
@kirkconway In some scenes it was Richie Ginther. I have the original movie program, and there is a picture of him wearing "Stoddards" helmet. One can also see, in some scenes that it's Ginthers eyes behind the goggles when they are not black. He was also one of the technical advisors during filming.
Ginther won one GP race. In Mexico 1965, in a Honda.
The old Zandvoort circuit was an awesome track . It's still a great circuit but not nearly as daunting as it was back then . Today only about 50% of the old layout still exists . I have been there many times and i miss the old zandvoort . Sadly some great drivers lost their live there .., in the worst way a racecar driver can lose his life . Burned to death . Piers Courage and Roger Williamson . We shall remember .
That's Stewart's helmet but this is NOT race footage but shot for the film - that isn't stewart doing the driving its most likely a guy called Tony Lanfranchi who was one of the professional drivers hired by the director - his biography is a classic - down the hatch. well worth a read.
Zandvoort - absolutely beautiful. Takes me back to being a 7 year-old boy sitting completely mesmerized in a vast dark theater in Detroit watching this film in incredible wrap-around 70mm Cinerama. Changed my life forever.
I think this is a real BRM, since the faked "movie-company BRM's" (disguised F3's) didn't have openings on top of the forward bodies, and the front suspension outside the bodies.
In the end of this scene (not shown here), when he pulls into the pit, he is only inches from a collision whith another car that is just rolled out. Not very much of safety margins those days...
@YDDES That seems like a bad fitting to me. At the end of this scene (wich is cut in this video) the front of the car is shown and the distinct triangle shaped holes are missing. I'll try and link some screenshots if youtube lets me.
You are probably right. I saw this movie on the Cinerama screen back then, and I seem to remember that I thought that this didn't look like a real BRM. But, the faked BRM's used in several scenes, in Monaco for example, didn't have any "openings" at all, and they had shock-absorbers or springs outside the body at their front wheels. This might be still another type of car.
In 66 when this came out I watchhed it in a theatre with the then new Dolby or whatever sound system. It was amazing back then. This was THE first car movie that was filmed with vibrationless camera mounts. Previously hi speed scenes were blurry and shaky. Hell of a movie even today.
Considering that Jackie never had a Matra engine, you are absolutely right. But I couldn't tell the difference because of the shifter and the wheel. They were all 6-gear, no? ;-)
No, i was referring to grand prix legends first, and checked it on statsf1 : the majority of the 3-liters cars had a 5-gear gearbox (lotus 49, ferrari 312, eagle T1G ...)
@willem567 This is Zanvoort you are right . But this is before they added the chicanes . The first chicane was added in 1973 and the second in 1980. When this movie was filmed the famous Tarzan corner and the Hugenholtz corner were the slowest corners on the track . Apart from that it was all fast sweeping bends .
I don't think this is Jackie Stewart. He wasn't one of the drivers standing in for the actors during the making of this movie. It's probably Richie Ginther standing in for Brian Bedford, who couldn't drive a car. Bedford and his stand-ins used helmets painted as Stewarts so scenes from the real races could be cut in.
yeah but formula one isn't just a racing competition. It is also a technical competition and wouldn't you suffocate that branch of the sport? I mean it is just totally different these days and different things are expected. Just look at how Fisichella performs in a Ferrari, that just shows how much driving is still involved these days, it is just more complex and the fight is more in the details. Although KERS need to be banned next year in my opinion. That was just stupid.
No not at all. I am very glad to hear that. It was just stupid to see Fisichella racing like a king on Spa but couldn't get passed Raikonnen because of the stupid power button. I truly believe he would have won that race if it wasn't for KERS.
Thank you so much, that was the race I really started hating kers, fisichella and force india should have won that race. I really really hate that race.
Amen. Have the dvd and they tell how they got the sounds for each race.(flawless edit job by the way) They got some of the current drivers then, got on a runway with cars rigged with sound gear. The drivers knew the tracks so well they could go down the runway and nail whatever track they needed sound for perfectly. Don't believe me? Get the dvd and check the extras.
Ok, reread my comment and pay attention when you do so otherwise you would not have said what you did. BUY THE DVD and see for yourself. They say it i just repeated it.
Though i don't deny that fact, remember it was '66 when they did this and those bulky camera rigs they had on the cars were not featherweights. The sound gear would have been even more weight. No one had done that kind of stuff before plus they had limited track time during race weekends so they had to improvise.
@BKRacer Dangerous might be an understatement. Up to the sixties, every year two or three men lost their lives. That meant a driver would have a chance of 1 in 10 or 1 in 12 to die, each time they stepped into that fuel bomb on wheels. Imagine: aluminium fuel tanks on either side and the driver wore only a T-shirt, a thin leather helmet and leather gloves for better grip. Fireproof clothes did not exist yet. And who ever heard of seatbelts in those days (40s-50s)? Seatbelts are for sissies...
@telescopereplicator Car's had seatbelts in these days ('67-'68) but with these cars it was safer to get thrown out of the car than risk being pinned in by the crushed monocoque and burning to death.
@BaronBoy100 Have you seen pictures of Clarks car after the crash? That crash was fatal with our without seatbelts. He broadsided a tree at top speed, the head injuries would be enough to kill him, let alone the other injuries as well.
@Fitch93 Yes I have seen the photographs of a mostly intact monocoque cockpit. He might well have sustained injuries but not necessarily life threatening. It was quite amazing how quickly seat belts were adopted after Clark's crash.
Not to mention mortal terror...The old Zandvoort had the tunnel Oost corner, a nasty right hander with a bump at the apex that became more and more prominent as the track aged. That bump killed Piers Courage and Roger Williamson.
These races were tremendously dangerous. No comparison to the modern f1 . and taking that into account those titles were a demonstration of outstanding courage.
This was one of the FIRST movies ever to do high quality, in-car camera shots. Before this it was all mostly a filmed background (speeded up) and a car with the actor(s) 'rocking in the foreground. This movie, and those incredible, REAL, high-speed in-car shots, along with the great sounds, has had me hooked on F-1, and road racing in general for over 40-years! GREAT memories! Thanks!!
yeah! i love that film but its so nationalistic. englshman S. Stoddart(J. Stewart in real world) loses the title on last lap in monza oval-road circuit to P. Aron (C. Amon)
I do like the circuits, and the sound from the engines. but I don't desire those cars in our days - too unsafe. today's pilots are not made of the same material those were. they were used to see almost every year a friend or a colegue dyeing on track. Those cars caught fire, those cars didn't support a crash like today's cars do.
I do want F1 to be a show, not a war field!
today's F1 cars in those old circuits that's what I desire! Safe cars and chalenging tracks!
Thanks for posting. Great racing scenes in that movie. I still think those were the coolest looking race cars. I personally like that the drivers had to heel toe it, double clutch and shift. Not like all the tech stuff now. Plus the motors sounded cooler too.
HOLY JESUS!!! This is crazy - with no amco barriers they're dead if they come off. I'd love to be able to watch some full length races from the 60's and 70's. These drivers have nerves of steel. Incredible to watch.
Frankenheimer could really shoot good scenes with speedy cars or racecars. Ronin was good too in that area.
But if you ask loads of ignorant kids they seriously consider the CGI over-the-top totally unrealistic car chase in Bad Boys 2 as the epitome of speeding cars in films
Stewart was actually very angry about the filmcrew being at the races and was vocal about it. It was NOT 1969, those cars had wings, `67 was the last year they didn't...and the film was released December 1966.. good grief... Frankenheimer mentions in the commentary on the film that all the actors did their own driving.. EXCEPT.... Brian Bedford as Scott Stoddard... "he couldn't even change gears, so we dubbed all of his shots."
It is Sir Jackie's distinctive crash helmet design with the tartan ribbon - I expect in the film they spliced real Grand Prix footage with Stewart and then added the in-car footage afterwards, maybe driven by P.Hill, with JYS' helmet for continuity purposes?
He meant the camera car. If you watch the interview with Frankenheimer, they even have pictures of the chopped up GT40 they used for filming with Phil Hill behind the wheel.
''The F1 cars in the movie are mostly mocked-up Formula 3 cars made to look like contemporary F1 models, although the film also used footage from actual F1 races.''
lol i know that, since i added that comment the title and caption of this clip has changed, it originally said it was jackie stewart in an actual F1 race.
Roger Williamson was killed in a fiery wreck during an F1 race back in 1973. Those track workers didn't do anything to save Roger except for David Purley who tried to save him but in vain.

Thanks for posting. Great racing scenes in that movie. I still think those were the coolest looking race cars. I personally like that the drivers had to heel toe it, double clutch and shift. Not like all the tech stuff now. Plus the motors sounded cooler too.

HOLY JESUS!!! This is crazy - with no amco barriers they're dead if they come off. I'd love to be able to watch some full length races from the 60's and 70's. These drivers have nerves of steel. Incredible to watch.

No safety belt too, cockpit surrounded by gasoline and magnesium alloy.

And the drivers started the day with 500 cigarettes and sex and ended it with a party. Ah the swinging sixties

Frankenheimer could really shoot good scenes with speedy cars or racecars. Ronin was good too in that area.
But if you ask loads of ignorant kids they seriously consider the CGI over-the-top totally unrealistic car chase in Bad Boys 2 as the epitome of speeding cars in films
curse them and their cgi cheating bull
this was filmed with REAL driving

Stewart was actually very angry about the filmcrew being at the races and was vocal about it. It was NOT 1969, those cars had wings, `67 was the last year they didn't...and the film was released December 1966.. good grief... Frankenheimer mentions in the commentary on the film that all the actors did their own driving.. EXCEPT.... Brian Bedford as Scott Stoddard... "he couldn't even change gears, so we dubbed all of his shots."

This car was actually driven by Phil Hill.

It is Sir Jackie's distinctive crash helmet design with the tartan ribbon - I expect in the film they spliced real Grand Prix footage with Stewart and then added the in-car footage afterwards, maybe driven by P.Hill, with JYS' helmet for continuity purposes?

He meant the camera car. If you watch the interview with Frankenheimer, they even have pictures of the chopped up GT40 they used for filming with Phil Hill behind the wheel.

''The F1 cars in the movie are mostly mocked-up Formula 3 cars made to look like contemporary F1 models, although the film also used footage from actual F1 races.''

No barriers, no run off areas, nothing. How incredibly dangerous!

Roger Williamson was killed in a fiery wreck during an F1 race back in 1973. Those track workers didn't do anything to save Roger except for David Purley who tried to save him but in vain.

David Purley receive a honour medal for this: The George medal. I think he's the only F1 driver to receive this, and that all to he's honour.
