Oh boy!!
I can't go watch it!!

EERO · 3 Dec 2003, 14:26 (Ref:802648)

Unlike our plegmatic Flemish friend, Ted, I'm glad you posted this. Thanks for the head's up.

Assman,

I want speed on my cable, PLEEEEEAAAAAZZZEEEEE!!!!!!

Neil C · 3 Dec 2003, 15:11 (Ref:802698)

Thanks Ted, I'll have my Speed TV satellite dish pointed at their azimuth for sure.

I remember Jackie Stewart with much fondness. He made F1 and Indy racing exciting to watch and listen to on ABC T.V. in the USA back in the 70's and 80's. His race calls(with that great Scottish accent!) with Chris Eckonomackie are legendary, and it brings back great memories.

When he retired, F1 was pretty much done in the states, until the somewhat recent arrival of Speed Channel to North American homes.

I'll be watching, and hoping to capture alittle of my youth along the way! Thanks!

EERO · 8 Dec 2003, 18:20 (Ref:806840)

Damn, missed it.

Hey GP, I saw him win the USGP at the Glen in '72. A certain 14 year old in the audience was a dedicated fan. He was simply superb.

GP Racer · 8 Dec 2003, 18:29 (Ref:806846)

That must have been great EERO! He really did so much for F1, especially in the US. Not only was he a great driver, but a great team owner, business man, and TV commentator. He pretty much singlehandedly popularized F1 in America, and he won't soon be forgotten.

Speed Channel is showing a replay of the show right now I believe! Hurry up and catch it, its worth it!

gttouring · 8 Dec 2003, 18:35 (Ref:806850)

really really good program- we should have more of these showcasing the drivers, and the Builders like Tyrell

diz · 8 Dec 2003, 18:48 (Ref:806863)

Anybody know if Motors TV, or Sky in the UK are planning to show this?

Neil C · 8 Dec 2003, 19:22 (Ref:806887)

EERO, you need to watch or tape it next Saturday.

Typical of Stewart, he give all credit to Tyrell, his mechanic Hall, and a very fitting tribute to Francois Cervert.

Very well done and it did NOT skip over the effects of Paul's Cancer on the family, the team or the F-1 business.

The closing tribute to Ken Tyrell was in exceptionally good taste.

I just watched it EERO, and recommend it highly. SPEED is rerunning it several times in the next week or so. Check the schedule.

The Discovery channel over here already has shown this... (about the same time as they showed that "inside the Formula One" Documentary)
keep an eye out, they often repeat their documentaries

TedN · 8 Dec 2003, 23:59 (Ref:807064)

Or better yet, buy the DVD.

Very entertaining program.Lots of interesting interviews with F1 personalities of the time. It was well worth watching !

strad · 10 Dec 2003, 04:42 (Ref:808024)

It was, a good show...did anyone else notice what I think was what you'd call a Freudian slip...refering to the era he drove in he said..."I think I lived at the ........
Notice he didn't say drove..he said "lived".
Hmmmmmm

GP Racer · 10 Dec 2003, 15:15 (Ref:808378)

Well, he is getting on in years!

TimD · 10 Dec 2003, 16:36 (Ref:808464)

Just to reiterate Ted's post, the DVD/Video is commercially available, and I think it has more material even than the broadcast show.

I got it from Duke, and it's a cracker.

strad · 11 Dec 2003, 23:10 (Ref:809681)

I'm inclined to think that racers think of racing as living....sorta like the line from Le Mans...Racing is living..everything in between............

TedN · 12 Jan 2004, 12:14 (Ref:835278)

Looks like this DVD will be available in North America this spring according to THIS ARTICLE
