Weekend of a Champion

In preparation for the Monaco GP I watched the Polanski film "Weekend of a Champion", which is basically a documentary of the 71 Monaco GP. Polanski follows Stewart every step of the way from Thursday to Sunday.

The footage is absolutely mesmerizing. On track and off. So many things to pick up in how F1 developed and how Monaco changed AND stayed the same. It is fantastic.

My fav scene is where Stewart over breakfast explains to Polanski how you do a fast lap around Monaco.

Awesome stuff and highly recommend it to anybody. Get it on Netflix.

 

thanks for sharing. I'll definitely have a look at this.

 

its a great movie about Jackie Stewart. the footage is very good, with candid coverage of Stewart setting up the car in the wet. and hating the weather coming in down the mountains.

 

I bet he talked about "sixth sense"

 

Yes, thanks for reminding me of a great film that bears watching again.

 

Cool will check it out

 

I can't count how many times I've sat through the film. Captured each piece perfectly and is a great window back through time.

 

I bet I'll end up doing the same so I ordered my copy

 

It's on Netflix.

 

I know. My point is that it is so good you might as well buy it for 15 bucks on ebay

 

I bought from Amazon for $15 delivered. Well worth it.

 

Then lend it me am potless..

Thanks for the tip..am eager to see it now..
