LOL. Dave, Paul Stewart is Jackie's son who already tried a racing
career (and backed out gracefully when he realized he wasn't going to
make a go of it). They jointly sponsored Stewart F1 which was
subsequently sold to Ford for a whopping amount of money. Then Paul
came down with cancer just before the making of the documentary. I'd
say he's had 3 careers already, and is probably as lucky to be with us
as his father. :-)

no no it wasn't Paul, I know him... it was some name like Martin Stewart. I can't
quite remember and I'm not familiar enough with the Stewart Clan to know
if that was indeed his family.

It was his other son, Mark Stewart.

Eldred, I have this done as a divx file that fits on one CD. Will that
be good enough for you? I am planning on doing a high quality encode for
myself for DVD, but it will be quite big.

Let me know

The credits said: "Mark Stewart Production." I think credit needs to go
to Sir Jackie and all the other drivers who formed the GPDA and had the
balls to cancel races to make racing safer. I'm sure many of them had
their manhood questioned at the time.

Right, sorry. Mark is the one who didn't go into racing, but got
involved in the arts.
