Jackie Stewart

For all the GPL fans out there, SpeedTV is showing a special on Jackie Steward. There's some footage of the GPL era in there. It's on now (8pm-10pm Eastern). It's being re-run at 1AM to 3AM Eastern later on tonight.

Awesome. Enjoyed that alot. Especially the first hour. "." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > For all the GPL fans out there, SpeedTV is showing a special on Jackie > Steward.

The show was absolutely brilliant. Nice to see quotes from some folks who have left us: Graham Hill, Ken Tyrell, Tony Rudd.

I've tried a couple dedicated capture "TV cards" and they didn't allow me to capture in 640x480 like my Asus does. I don't know much about the Hauppage card though. You might do like Charlie suggests and try new drivers.

IIRC, it *said* it was capturing, but it just lied... I'll see about drivers from that site. Thanks - I'll let you know if it works.

I must agree! This is a MUST SEE for ALL GPL fans... and all serious race fans with any sense of history! "... those were good years. Very effervescent times, It was all Champaign." Absolutely GREAT! If I find it on DVD I will buy it!!! Jackie your a living legend!

Anyone noticed it was produced and directed by some chap who also shares the last name of Stewart. Was this mockumentary merely an effort to jumpstart another son's career? dave henrie

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. dave henrie

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. Jim

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