Grand Prix: The Killer Years
« on: July 08, 2011, 04:15:42 pm »
Has anyone else seen this documentary? 

It's a fascinating look at the state of F1 in the early 60's.  Deaths were incredibly common, around the 1 per event mark, and were considered to be part of the sport.  It goes into the gradual change brought on by the drivers who were getting sick of seeing their friends parish.
