The History Of The Grand Prix Car Pt 1

[EricIrl]

No - it was a three part series made by Patrick Uden Productions for Chanel 4. John Watson got to drive quite a feew of the cars.

[EricIrl]

Not BBC Horizon. This was a three part series shown on Chanel 4 (when it was an intelligent channel.) back in 1987. I still have it on VHS.

@EricIrl

Would that have been an Equinox episode then ?

[stzzla]

Two of my favourite things rolled into one. Documentaries, and motorsport. The fact that I'm sat here watching this on a sunday afternoon just seems so right. God bless you for the upload.

[turboslag]

I think this is a BBC Horizon docu. Good stuff.

[TrOuTster5]

Wow! Thank you for taking the time to post this video. Fantastic footage that I've never seen. Great stuff.

I'd like to see what JMF could do in a RedBull RB6.

[gnark1ll1us]

Thankyou and best wishes to you.

поездили бы они на русских машинах!

Good documentary, but man the poms go on about their crap cars. ERA, BRM, blah, blah. Barely 2 minutes on the 158/159 car which totally dominated this era.

Wait till Chapman comes along, then blow your own trumpets

No Seatbelts, No Fencing, Driving an over powered chassi with not the best brakes on skinny Tires wearing a skid lid made of leather ??? got to hand it to these fellas for having 100% Balls

And a driver's "uniform" that might well consist of slacks, a button down shirt and maybe even a bow tie.

[sstiel]

I apologise. The author of the book was Doug Nye.

Sorry.

[sstiel]

This is excellent. Where and where was the documentary screened? I know the book with the same title was written by Denis Jenkinson.

Many thanks.

[Oldbigchief]

Great work, like all of you, Musrum. We don't deserve so big honour. F....king jewels yer clips!

[DukeofDice]

Fantastic! So much footage from one of the greatest periods of motor racing... and one of the last before the "rolling cigarette boxes" took over...

[MrMacadoo]

[lerapace]

Great work, thank you very much. I'm waiting for the next parts.

[musrum]

Great to hear you guys appreciate the footage. There will be more on the way, I just need the time to do it. Keep posted. I really acknowledge your feedback it makes it all worth while as it takes ages uploading these classic moments.
