1960s British GT & Sports Car Racing

Product Description

The 1960s were British sports car and GT racing's golden era; halcyon days when the enticing combination of charismatic cars and daredevil drivers brought spectators flocking to circuits on Sunday afternoons.

Forty years ago and more, such world-renowned names as Stirling Moss, Graham Hill and Jackie Stewart were allowed to dovetail their F1 commitments with 'days off' at the wheel of such spectacular machines as Jaguar E-types and Ferrari 250 GTOs.

Ace film-maker David Roscoe filmed the jaw-dropping results in glorious technicolour, which have been carefully reproduced from the original negative - and made available for the first time on DVD - for this not-to-be-missed compilation.

EXTRA FEATURES: Bonus footage from the 1967 BOAC 500 at Brands Hatch (Jackie Stewart's only-ever race for Ferrari) - Director's commentary from David Roscoe - In-car Lotus Elan action - Martin Stretton on the ragged edge around Oulton Park - Ford GT40s and Lola T70s smash Snetterton's lap record in 1969.

"If you’re looking for the perfect pressie for a petrolhead, buy this."
