Looks interesting.

Yeah already seen it, it was released a few years ago from memory.

Very interesting, and some graphic scenes (people burning in cars etc) but its not TOO bad, just be warned if you can't stomach that kind of stuff.

EDIT: yeah came out in 2010:

Watched it on the plane it's awesome, there is a rally version as well. I had no luck looking for YouTube of both to post up.

Def worth the watch. Only just saw it a couple of days ago.
Really opens your eyes to how different Motorsport (and the world) was back in the 70s, 80s.
Some terrible scenes though, should never have happened.

Rallying: the killer years is also worth a watch. All about the group B rally cars in the 80s, and the failure to regulate the sport.

Makes you wonder, how different it is for us racing and pushing our cars to their limit in our current day and age.


Credit goes to the producers of these 2 docos, very shocking and informative.
