> The best footage, after the Tiger, is the 1964 Sebring and 1930's
> grand prix film. Jim Clark is shown driving a Lotus Cortina with
> lots
> of body lean at Sebring and the scariest part is a shot of Paddy
> Hopkirk climbing out of an overturned Austin Healy with gas pouring
> out of the fuel tank. He was a lucky man to escape that instant
> barbecue! Grand Prix racing in the 1930's was incredible with cars
> racing through city streets with no guard rails and just a few hay
> bales here and there to offer minimal protection. Overall, the video
