Excellent! I never really knew much about Hunt (or Lauda for that matter) until I read a biography that was given away in an issue of Autosport about 15 years ago.

Pre my time, but respect them massively and "Rush" looks outstanding. The balls needed in their day. I watched a thing about sterling moss, When Hammond met Moss, and he had the steering wheel with the head shaped buckle in it!

Interest Mrs C and I due to my head injuries being very similar and at a similar time to Hammond and what they discussed was what I went through.

Lauda's accident on Nurburgring, where he lost his ears, was where I had my accident. Guy in front did similar to Lauder and wiped me out in the process.

I'm still amazed when old clips of formula one are played from 60's, love the 70's... But 90's was my spectating start.

Damn, supposed to have added it to my Sky planner from the laptop earlier this week, just realised it never got it. Time to look for repeats. (IPlayer as a last resort)

Posted

For anyone else affected by a bout of numptyitis, it's on at 11.20 Tuesday the 16th BBC2 (11.40 in NI)

Was excellent "sex in the morning, breakfast of champions".  Probably be on the bbc iplayer

Posted

Been told Iplayer is showing the edited version for some reason so if you want to see the full uncut vers. tune in to BBC2's repeat !

Posted

The program directly after on bbc 4 about F1 in 60's and 70's waz also brilliant and worth trying to find a repeat

Posted

Brands Hatch 76' my first 'live' GP :d

We set off from Sunny Manchester at midnight, got a great spot at the entrance to Paddock bend.

Got home 2 am on Monday, in work for 8am, those were the days :)

Great documentary all-in-all I was never a fan of Hunt and the programme re-confirmed that. I've always said he was lucky to win that championship but deserved because of the italians out right ability to cheat at any cost fortunately thats not a  feature of their or should I say ferrari much these days they are all as bad as each other. Still a good doco

I was a rock solid Nicky Lauda fan after his comeback from that horrific acko , always gave the impression he was hard as nails but in reality he was terrified every time he climbed aboard the car . Read his bio , great book , my favourite bit when he left Ferrari he was waiting permission to take off from Milan airport , several attempts made to contact flight control but all he got was dead silence , then after a very long time he heard in his headset ...............

 

 

You Left Ferrari you Barstewterd !
