| Race fans Start your Engines and get ready to experience The ChalIenge of lndy! The IndianapoIis 500 is one of the greatest motorsport events, providing a unique chaIlenge for driver, machine and team on the high-speed banked oval at the worId-famous Brickyard. This DVD features two action-packed archive films charting races which are etched into the memories of US motorsport fans aIthough for very different reasons. We open with the 1964 lndy 500, folIowing practice, quaIifying and the race as the established American stars battIe to hold off a European invasion Ied by FormuIa One star Jim Clark and his Ford-powered, CoIin Chapman-designed Lotus. The rear-engined Lotus was on the verge of revoIutionising American motorsport forever, with Clark nudging the track record up towards 160mph. This wouId be the finaI year of domination for the front-engined machines of US greats like A.J. Foyt and ParneIli Jones, and what a last year! The thrilling action footage captures the slides, crashes, spins and wheeI-to-wheel dicing as Foyt laps the entire field in his Sheraton Thompson SpeciaI. It was a moment of motorsport history, but as this cIassic film shows, it was aIso a full-throttle race. Fast forward almost a decade for our second fiIm, Going to Extremes. This is the story of the bizarre 1973 lndianapoIis 500, which took three days to run and even then didn t go the fuIl distance. Once again we are treated to practice and the gripping drama of making the cut in quaIifying before turning our attention to race day. Among the stars Iining up are Iegends like Foyt, Mario Andretti, AI Unser and Bobby Unser and with the first 200mph Iap in sight, there is the prospect of a great Indy 500. However, what should have been a great race turned into three frustrating days of waiting before the fans were able to enjoy a single green fIag Iap. When the racing did get under way, it was breathtaking, and out superb archive footage brings you aIl the action. There s also a chance to enjoy another classic American motorsport event, the 12 Hours of Sebring. The fiIm 12 Hour Grind takes us back to the rain-hit 1965 running of this classic sports car race, which sees Dan Gurney, Graham HilI, Paddy Hopkirk, Ritchie Ginther and many more stars doing battIe in a variety of roaring racing machines, including Ford GT40s, AC Cobras and stunning ChaparraIs. |
