on itv's coverage of the silverstone gp last weekend there was a small
item where mr v. and mr garner drove around monza in two old f1
cars. they looked like a brabham and a brm, and they looked very thin
(optical illusion maybe), maybe not 67 cars, but i'm probably wrong
on all counts here.

but they didn't give it loads, which was a shame.

garner said that when they were filming the movie on the banked
sections, they would have a script for the driving, start off, do the
manouevers, then stop, turn around and race back to the beginning for
the next part/take.  he said the racing back bit was great fun!

I think you'll find that those cars were F3 cars mocked up to look like F1
cars.
There was an article on it in Autosport a couple of months ago.

I think JV went round in a real 60's F1 though.

This was done after last year's Italian GP, I believe. The Brabham was Bob
Anderson's BT11 F1 car, and the BRM look-alike was an old Lotus Formula
Junior.
