Quotes
Narrator: During those three days
[of a GP weekend]
Narrator: the human capacity for excellence, for ingenuity, for callousness, for vulgarity, for sheer noise, for waste, for daring, for beauty; those capacities are stretched about as far as they can go, outside of war.

Alternate versions
This film was re-released in 1978 as "The Quick and the Dead" with footage of Tom Pryce's fatal crash in South Africa added to the opening and an extended "in memoriam" sequence added to the end and later released again as "Champions Forever: The Formula One Drivers.

Soundtracks
The Four Seasons: Spring

While the film is a little dated, it reminds you immediately why race car drivers are considered some of the coolest and most courageous athletes in the world. The opening scene sets the tone for the film. This is no film for the faint-hearted. In fact, if you are at all squeamish about scenes of car wrecks, this is not for you. There are scenes with not only wrecks but the carnage that follows. Far from being a glorification of that carnage, the accompanying interviews with formula 1 drivers from the early 70s remind you that there are people in those cars; people who get hurt or even killed in those crashes. I would recommend this film to anyone who is a fan of racing in any capacity.
