Lap of the Gods

I thought this was something the folks here would enjoy. I remember seeing part of this way back when Speed was still a new channel.

Mmm... H-Pattern gearboxes and actual heal-toeing in F1 cars.

Great footage. Reminds me very much of a documentary I worked on for a British client (without Murray Walker's excellent commentaries though). It was called "50 years of Formula 1 On-Board."

The commentaries in the Nurburgring sequence are from McNish, who won several 24 Hours of Le Man.

very very cool, I remember some old shows like this form way back in the day. Its so cool to see real drivers DRIVE and the lack of computer aids. Let the real talent shine through
