The Killing Years
« on: April 22, 2011, 10:39:06 AM »
I watched this docu on the 60's F1 yesterday, absolutely horrendous the lack of safety, and the drivers that burnt to death trapped in their cars. It's well worth watching but beware, there are some gruesome clips.


An aircraft landing is just a controlled crash.

I don't think he has forgotten the link, I assumed he had watched a documentary called "The Killing Years"

It sounds quite gruesome the drivers burning to death in their cars. I am glad F1 has come a long way since then

BBC5 is a new one on me Ian, we only get 1 to 4 in our area in England, is 5 especially for Kent like you get BBC Wales and Scotland?  :tease:

Well, try Isohunt and then type 'The killing years'. Torrent.
