Excellent "car guys" movie, I forgot the excitement and real beauty of the photography and music. The audio and video are superb in this race fans classic. If you ever enjoyed Formula 1 racing, this is the one to watch on wide screen with 5.1 sound. It is really beautiful.
This is re-release of the Movie Grand Prix with remastered audio. The movie is completely true to the original (including having an intermission and disk change) and the 5.1 audio is outstanding, you should really have your system hooked to a sound system to get the benefit of the music, sound effects and ambience.
The movie places you in the drivers cockpit of a "Formula 1" grand prix racer. What you see on the screen is exactly what the driver is seeing and doing. The actors were sent to Bob Boundrant High Performance driving school and they are really driving the race cars. This is the movie that got me convinced to get my SCCA regional license and start racing for real.
It shows it like it actually is.
