| The Killer Years - 60 min |
| An excellent 2011 BBC documentary focusing on tragic deaths in Formula 1 during the 60's and 70's. With input from legendary drivers such as Jackie Stewart and Emerson Fittipaldi, we see how incredibly dangerous the sport had become by the late 60's. Speeds of F1 cars had increased beyond the ability of the tires, the safety equipment, and the chassis themselves. The addition of wings and ground effects in the late 60's only made the situation worse, as cornering speeds became even greater and speeds higher. Jackie Stewart proclaimed "there was only a 1 in 3 chance I was going to live this year”, and it seemed like Formula 1 drivers were attending funerals every week. It wasn't until the drivers threatened to strike that proper safety measures were introduced. Unfortunately, before those changes were implemented, we lost some of the greatest drivers in the world, including Jim Clark, Peter Revson, Francois Cevert, and Jochen Rindt. The Killer Years shows some graphic content, so again viewer discretion is advised. |

| The Quick And The Dead - 77 min |
| This 1974 documentary was originally released by Columbia Pictures in the United Sates, and was re-released in later years under different titles, including this one called "Champions Forever" from 1977 . This version was shown once on the old Speed TV network back in the late 1990's (the Speed watermark is in the corner). We used the original title "The Quick And The Dead" as the film is better known by this title. The material in this documentary is pre-1975, and contains excellent (and very clear) racing footage. Sadly, one of the main drivers interviewed for this film is Tyrrell driver Francois Cevert, who would later die in a tragic accident during practice at the U.S. Grand Prix at Watkins Glen NY in late 1973. Cevert's death deeply affected teammate Jackie Stewart, and Stewart would not run the U.S. Grand Prix (but he would still win the 1973 Championship). When the film was re-edited for a 1977 release, a dedication was added to the credits in memoriam to the recent drivers that had just perished in Formula 1; Peter Revson (1974), Mark Donahue (1975), and Tom Pryce (1977). And sadly, just after this films re-release in 1977 with the added dedications, we would lose 3 more of the all-time greats; Ronnie Peterson (1978), Patrick DePailler (1980), and Gilles Villeneuve (1982). Some of the material shown is graphic. Viewer discretion is advised. |
