When F1 had real characters

Perhaps Amon's uniform says "Stoddard". That would make more sense. He's holding a Jackie Stewart style helmet which actor Brian Bedford's character wore.

 

Maybe we should start a "Grand Prix - the film" thread.

 

Amon's suit is lettered "Scott" so presumably he performed driving duties for Brian Bedford(Scott Stoddard). IIRC Bedford did not have a driver's license.

 

Brian Bedford was terrible driving in the movie, They say James Garner was full on good at driving, could of been competitive. Supposedly Garner was burned making the movie, Last shot of movie shows mark on his neck.

 

Yeah . . . . that's the ticket. I was just testing everybody . . .

 

In the film Garner's car caught fire on the final lap at Brands Hatch.

Aaaahhh...but he was not PLN...

 

OK. But he was James Garner.

 

That sounds awesome, well done!

 

Absolutely.

Unlike Jim, however, Paul showed he was capable of driving, not just could have been, or owning.
(Heck, so did Dan Blocker...own that is)

 

Cowgirl and I keep Guido, our plutonium powered 550, in our hangar with the plane and we thought that was pretty cool...right up until we read about all the framed posters in your garage. Absolutely no way your place ain't cooler....

 

The Turner painting of Hawthorn and Collins was used for the cover of "Mon Ami Mate"... You might try and contact Turner's agent/artist's rep for prints...

Might be Jo Bonnier with the beard.

 

Where did you find that pic? : ) May be Jochen Rindt on the far right.

 

No on Rindt, this photo was much earlier, maybe 1961.

 

Yes indeed. Were you at Americana today?
