Synopsis:: Show moreShow less
This important new series, narrated by Sir Stirling Moss, recalls the real personalities of an amazing era, the men whose antics on and off the track made them heroes to millions - and not always just to race fans. Created by Brunswick Films, which was behind the 1970-79 Grand Prix Collection, each video profiles a racing great, with action footage and period interviews from the Brunswick archive which reveal why these names still cause excitement today. They are not detailed life stories, but celebrations of the driving skills and colourful characters which defined a motor racing era. This video focuses on Jackie Stewart.
This film follows the extraordinary track record of the three-times World Champion and 27-times Grand Prix winner. Alongside winning more than a quarter of all the races he started, the 'Flying Scot' initiated a campaign to introduce safety measures that eventually enabled improvements and ushered in a new era of Grand Prix racing.
