Indeed he did! And there was an exciting race long dice between Rindt and the eventual winner Surtees, who was sacked by Ferrari a couple of weeks later, in fact Dragoni was going to fire him at the race, but he couldn't very well fire the winner could he?
@derekacopeland Well, guess we have a cinema genious here. Grand Prix is a classic. Three Academy Awards. If you think it's poor, do something better and show us.
@derekacopeland Wow, you really think so? Kind of hard to strap a panavision camera on a car and go full speed...Frankenheimer was a great director, especially of action, and this is an amazingly carried out challenge. Don't believe me, check out the Monza sequence.
seems to me as though the F1 engines of today would be simply unable to cope with the revs attained lap after lap after lap at a circuit like the original Spa. (irony)

Very poor camera work and editing even for the time, the film lacks energy or style.

if this circuit was built before 1914 it would have ran through holland germany and belgium.

@mohawkman251988Yes. A very scary crash - ended upside down in a tub full of petrol - started his drive towards better safety for drivers.

@DavidSkywalker01 No It was an early McClaren with 4'2 Indy engine! They disguised it as a Honda... or a Yamura as they call it in the film.
