Featured review
Very disturbing, but very good
This is one of the most disturbing movies I have ever seen. However, it needs to be seen by any racing fan. The version of the film I saw opens with a scene from the 1977 South African Grand Prix with footage of a race marshall being hit by the car driven by Pryce in which both were killed. This sets the tone for the rest of the film.
You can tell these guys are a bit crazy, yet extremely brave to hop into a Formula 1 car and risk their lives with every foot they travel down the track.
There are some great interviews with the drivers, and even though this stuff is from the 1973 season, the ideas expressed through the film still apply to this day. Racing is extremely dangerous.
