Review by Gregg Leary
I recently reviewed Neville Hay’s “The History of Motor Racing: The Magnificent 50’s” and gave it high marks. This “Very British Era of the 60’s” deserves a place of honor on your DVD shelf as well. It is just as good. The DVD jacket notes serve as an outline of the script of the DVD.
1960: Brabham wins his second World title, Clark and Surtees arrive on the scene.
1961: Phil Hill and Ferrari dominate the first year of the 1.5 litre formula.
1962: Graham Hill (BRM V8) wins the World Drivers Championship from Clark (Lotus 25 Climax V8).
1963: Clark (Lotus 25) storms through to his first World Championship title. Brabham wins a history-making GP in his own car.
1964: Three drivers were in line for the winner’s laurels which eventually went to Surtees (Ferrari).
1965:
1966: Brabham celebrates turning 40 with a third World title. Motorsport is boosted by a 3-litre formula.
1967: Hulme (Repco-Brabham) takes his first World Championship. Lotus 49 debuts.
1968: Clark loses his life at Hockenheim. Hill (Lotus 49) becomes World Champion.
1969: New World Champion Jackie Stewart signals the end of an era-and the dawn of a new one.
The DVD starts out faster than a Formula One car! In the first 10 seconds we see footage of Colin Chapman, Jim Clark, Graham Hill and Jackie Stewart…then it gets even better. In car footage of Stirling Moss at the Nurburgring is fabulous and the von Tripps/Clark crash at the 1961 Italian GP is horrific. Film clips cover not only Grands Prix but also Le Mans and the Indianapolis 500.
