In Car 956 DVD question

Hi, I've got a DVD-Rom player and have been looking for good racing related DVD's. I've already picked up Super Speedway (IMAX) and Ronin but I want something related to Formula One like a documentary possibly on the history of F1 preferably around 1967 :). Also I was wondering if "In Car 956" is available on DVD and WHERE CAN I FIND IT?!?! BTW here is a good Nurburgring streaming video http://www.globaltv.de/gtvde/product.asp?dept_id=8000&sku=praes01 Thanks for any help you can give me. Kirkus McGurkus

well, it's not a documentary, but I don't think any collection could be complete without Grand Prix (based on '66 or '68) - and since you have Ronin, it'll go nice with it since Bruckheimer (sp?) used some of the same techniques from GP. Don't know if it's on DVD but if not, it should be....

As far as I know in car 956 is made by Duke Video and only available on VHS. http://www.dukevideo.com/product.asp?sku=3526++++++&dept%5Fid=V Could be wrong, might be worth e-mailing them -- Cheers, Robin Lord - Trance DJ & Sim Racer. http://www.oppositelock.co.uk Nrburgring and Grand Prix Legends | Hi, I've got a DVD-Rom player and have been looking for good racing related | DVD's.

Unfortunately it hasn't been announced yet, from the last news I have heard. Grand Prix The Movie can only be bough on VHS. In-car 956 is VHS-only, also. There isn't many Motorsport DVD's on the market. -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you...

Kirkus, You should definitely get "Grand Prix" (it's from John Frankenheimer btw) since it covers the GPL era with the actual drivers, cars and circuits. I myself have got this video (don't know if its out on DVD (yet)) but have only seen the first 15 minutes on another persons NTSC-compatible VCR (still waiting for my new VCR 8:( ). Those minutes were enough though to convince me. It's absolutely amazing to see how well the Papy boys captured the tracks in GPL. The movie starts at Monaco and I wass immediately struck with how "at home" I felt. I knew exactly what was coming. I also saw a 1 second shot (during the intro) and could immediately identify it as the Burnenville (the long right hander before Malmedy) at Spa. This is really a "must have" if you're into the GPL-era of F1. It's really frightening to see how the real drivers conquered these circuits! J. J.H.Hovius.vcf < 1K Download

As far as In car 956 goes, I don't see much benefits from a DVD version anyway. It's awesome but the picture quality is not THAT good on the original anyway, so at best it'd be a poorly encoded DVD (the only + would be that it wouldn't go bad like tape does), like for instance Highlander's directors cut ! Argh, the shittiest quality DVD ever!!! ;-) Greg. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Bullett :) It's got to be the best car chase sequence around. It's not really a *racing* movie per say, but you've gotta love the Charger & Mustang running around the streets of San Fran.
