Situado en la época dorada de Grand Prix Racing '1' cuenta la historia de una generación de conductores carismáticos que corrieron al límite, arriesgando sus vidas durante el período más letal de la Fórmula 1, y los hombres que se pusieron de pie y cambiaron el deporte para siempre.
La temporada de 1976 pasó a los anales de la historia de la Fórmula 1 por el encarnizado duelo protagonizado por el austriaco Niki Lauda y el inglés James Hunt. El primero, piloto de la escudería Ferrari, tenía fama de ser analítico, frío y calculador y de la manera que arrancó el campeonato, con cuatro victorias en las primeras seis carreras, parecía difícil que alguien pudiera plantarle cara ese año. James Hunt por su parte, piloto de la escudería McLaren, era un joven con fama de seductor, impetuoso y visceral, y había arrancado la temporada con problemas de todo tipo. Sin embargo, todo cambiaría en la décima carrera del campeonato, el Gran Premio de Alemania.
The late 60's, 70's and early 80's were regarded by many as the most exciting and historically significant period in the history of modern Grand Prix racing. It was a time when sport saw major investment from significant motor manufacturers. A time when technology leapt forward with Turbo charged engines, six wheel cars, advanced braking/handling packages and the very best of early aerodynamic styling. Today's legends were in full flight. Drivers such as Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart, James Hunt and Niki Lauda were carving themselves a place in motor racing history. This specially presented DVD video covers this very special time helping you to enjoy an relive those classic Grand Prix moments.
The 1982 Formula One season was the 33rd FIA Formula One World Championship season. It commenced on January 23, 1982, and ended on September 25 after sixteen races. The World Drivers' Championship was won by Williams driver Keke Rosberg. Rosberg was the first driver since Mike Hawthorn in the 1958 season to win the championship after winning only one race. 11 drivers won a race during the season, none of them more than two times. Scuderia Ferrari won the World Constructors' Championship.
This fascinating record of one season of Grand Prix racing is the first ever FOCA review programme and sets the high standard for which these programmes have since been renowned. From the first green light at West Long Beach the season is charged with controversy. The aerodynamic "skirts" have gone and new hydraulic devices are in place. Carbon fibre bodies appear as the F1 cars get re-invented during the winter months.
