...But nice to own and have a look at occasionally, as there are some nice
shots of nice cars ..... and that makes everything nice.

I thought the "car on fire" scene was at Zandy.

<Grin> If you confuse Zandy with Brands you must've been sniffing some
or our local flora ;)

Ok, I shouldn't say "I thought that scene was Zandy." The scene where
Pete Aarons' car catches on fire *definitely* is Zandy. =)

Or uh, my memory isn't nearly as good as Steve's and for some reason I
thought that scene happened at the Dutch GP.

Absolutely!

Or even better, a deluxe edition DVD with just the racing footage and all
the daft love triangle bit left on the cutting room floor!

Bits in Grand Prix I love; the start sequence at Monaco, the dry/wet race at
Spa, round the banking at Monza.

Bits I hate; the fake F1 cars, the silly circus music and out-of-focus
frustration at Charade (what a waste that was!), the*** off the
suspension camera shots that must have been filmed at about 20mph...

Still, it's a record of the times, and I wouldn't give my copy away.
