After all these years that we've been posting about it on r.a.s... well it's
now official, here's the PR for the Grand Prix DVD. All simmers shall buy
it, along with Le Mans :)
=========================================
GRAND PRIX: SPECIAL EDITION
Nine races. One champion. James Garner, Yves Montand, Brian Bedford and
Antonio Sab�to portray Formula I drivers competing to be the best in this
slam-you-into-the-driver's-seat tale of speed, spectacle and intertwined
personal lives. Eva Marie Saint and Toshiro Mifune also star.
John Frankenheimer (who 32 years later would again stomp the pedal to the
metal for the car chases of Ronin) directs this winner of 3 Academy Awards�,
crafting split-screen images to capture the overlapping drama and
orchestrating you-are-there POV camera work to intensify the hard-driving
thrills. Nearly 30 top drivers take part in the excitement, so buckle up,
movie fans. Race with the best to the head of the pack.
First time on DVD! Available at a NEW low price - $20.97 SRP.
Winner of 3 Academy Awards� in film editing and sound, this 40th Anniversary
Edition is newly remastered from 65 mm film elements and restored in 16x9
widescreen format.

What other race? You mean that 6-car Formula One Grand Prix at Indy?
Yeah, I'm sure the Grand Prix in the movie was more exciting. At least
everyone who went to the real Indy race last year gets to go for free
this year.
Just to clarify something: You don't get to go 'free' if you bought a ticket last year and were treated to that disaster they called a race..... What they was offer ticket holders a buy one get one free deal.

Is that a 2 DVD price? Autosport.com said:
It has been 40 years since the legendary film maker John Frankenheimer made
"Grand Prix", and the movie remains to this day the most important (if not
only) cinematic rendition of Formula One. Finally, Warner Home Video are
preparing to release the movie on a special two-disc DVD edition later this
year
